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 integrated in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes for the DualSense's touchpad. The Portal enables game streaming even outside your home, provided you have access to a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

In a significant update, you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature that allows owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means Portal users can choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony’s cloud servers, thanks to recent quality of life beta updates launched in April. By opting for cloud streaming, you gain access to a library of over 120 games, including popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Note that you need to be subscribed to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a much more affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home, you can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up 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 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."
