The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen centrally placed. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller incorporates all the features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the DualSense's touchpad. To use the Portal outside your home, you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Excitingly, Sony has recently updated the PS Portal, enabling game streaming directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service without needing a PS5. With this update, Portal owners can connect either to their PS5 or Sony’s cloud servers. The latest beta updates, launched in April, enhance the quality of life for users. By choosing the cloud option, you gain access to 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. However, to utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, costing $18 per month, a more appealing option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home, it's worth noting that you can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complicated, and you may 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."
