Resembling an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, the PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a handheld gaming system, streaming games at up to 60fps. Mirroring the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and touchscreen interface, it offers a familiar feel. While requiring a strong, stable internet connection for remote play, the Portal's functionality has expanded.
Update: You no longer need a PS5! Sony's integration with PlayStation Now allows streaming directly from its cloud gaming service. Access 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. Note: A PlayStation Plus Premium subscription is required. At $18 a month, this offers a compelling alternative to the upfront PS5 and game costs.
While not the only way to stream PS5 games, the PS Portal surpasses the complexity and feature limitations of using the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices or other handhelds like the Steam Deck.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:
"The PlayStation Portal surprisingly exceeded my expectations. It's vastly superior to using a phone with an attachable controller and performs far better than anticipated. I appreciate the freedom to play my PS5 anywhere with decent Wi-Fi, especially when the TV is occupied. While not a standalone device (requiring a PS5), its current limitations—lack of browser-based Wi-Fi login and Bluetooth audio support—prevent it from being truly exceptional. Despite these caveats, it's the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and a must-have for PS5 owners who prefer handheld gaming or share a TV."
