The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5 console, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by 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 interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. The Portal can stream your games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a very stable and fast internet connection. It's important to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Excitingly, 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 its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can connect the Portal to either your PS5 or Sony’s cloud servers, thanks to recent quality of life beta updates launched in April. By choosing the latter, 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. Keep in mind that you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more affordable option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games.

While the PlayStation Portal is an excellent way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, it's not the only option. 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 complicated, 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."
