The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming machine, streaming games 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 touchpad. While the Portal allows for gaming outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's exclusively a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring you to own a PS5 to utilize it.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently enhanced the Portal's capabilities, allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service, bypassing the need for a PS5. This update means Portal owners can now choose to connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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. However, to enjoy this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, a more affordable option at $18 per month compared to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. The PS Remote Play app, available on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, offers a similar experience. However, setting up the app can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique 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."
