The PS Portal is designed to resemble an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that takes the place of the traditional touchpad. While the Portal enables you to stream games even when you're away from home, you'll need a very stable, very fast internet connection to enjoy seamless gameplay. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it's a dedicated remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring you to own a PS5 to use it.
Exciting news for PS Portal users: Sony has now enabled streaming directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This update allows you to access a library of 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 a PS5. To enjoy this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a far more wallet-friendly option than buying a PS5 and additional games.
While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, it's not the only solution. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complicated, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy
"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
