The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen embedded between the grips. By streaming games from your PS5, the Portal transforms your console into a portable gaming device, delivering smooth gameplay at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that serves as a substitute for the traditional touchpad. For remote play outside your home, a highly stable and fast internet connection is essential. However, it's crucial to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from their PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This opens up a library of over 120 games, including titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To enjoy this feature, you must subscribe to the premium tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a far more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique streaming experience, it's not the only way to play PS5 games remotely within your home. The PS Remote Play app can be downloaded onto various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you may miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**

"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations and transformed my skepticism into admiration. It provides a superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller, and its performance is much better than I anticipated. The freedom to play my PS5 games from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage is a game-changer, especially when the TV is occupied by my family playing the Switch. While the Portal is not a standalone device and absolutely requires a PS5, its potential is slightly hampered by the lack of support for WiFi networks that require a web browser login and the absence of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, the PlayStation Portal stands out as the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, making it a compelling choice for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
