Condition: Used: Like New
This device may exhibit moderate packing damage, but it looks and functions as if it were brand new.
The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The controller retains the advanced features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the DualSense's touchpad. For those who want to play outside their home, a very stable and fast internet connection is crucial. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access over 120 games, including hits like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, without owning a PS5. To enjoy this feature, you need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is far more cost-effective than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.
It's important to note that while the PlayStation Portal is a convenient way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi, you can achieve similar results using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including the Steam Deck. However, setting up the app is more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy
"The PlayStation Portal surprised me more than any other device I've tested. Initially skeptical, I found it offers a superior experience compared to using a phone with a clip-on controller. Its ability to stream games from my PS5 with just decent WiFi coverage is a game-changer, particularly when the TV is occupied by family members playing other consoles. While it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5, the only real downsides are the lack of support for WiFi that requires a web browser login and the absence of Bluetooth audio. Without these limitations, the Portal would be an essential accessory for every PS5 owner who loves handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
