PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

Playstation Portal

0$199.99 save 21%$158.70 at Amazon Used: Like New Condition

Appears and operates as if brand new, despite some minor packing damage noted during inspection.

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, streaming games at up to 60fps. The Portal incorporates all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games even when you're away from home, a robust and speedy internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone unit; it's a remote player that requires a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now's cloud service. This opens up a vast 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. To access this feature, you need to subscribe to the premium tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 per month, is a more cost-effective alternative to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only option for streaming PS5 games within your home. The PS Remote Play app can be used on other devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setup 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 has pleasantly surprised me, far exceeding my initial skepticism. It offers a superior experience compared to using a phone with a clip-on controller and performs remarkably well. The ability to play my PS5 games from anywhere with a decent WiFi signal is a game-changer, especially in a household where the TV is often occupied by others playing the Switch. Despite its dependency on the PS5 and the limitations with certain WiFi logins and Bluetooth audio support, the Portal remains the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play. If not for these issues, it would be an essential device for every PS5 owner who loves handheld gaming or needs to share the TV."
