The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming experience by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It retains the hallmark features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in lieu of the traditional touchpad. To use the Portal outside your home, you'll need access to a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it strictly functions as a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 to operate.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently introduced a feature allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5 console. This new capability grants access to 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 utilize this feature, a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus is required, which costs $18 per month—a more appealing option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only 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 gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method is more complex to set up and lacks some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**

"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations in the most surprising way. It offers a significantly better experience than using a phone with an attached controller, and it performs far better than I had anticipated. The freedom to play my PS5 from any location with decent WiFi is invaluable, especially when the TV is occupied by family members playing the Switch. It's crucial to remember that the Portal is not a standalone device and requires a PlayStation 5 to function. The device's main limitations are its inability to connect to WiFi that requires a web browser login and the absence of Bluetooth support for audio. Despite these drawbacks, the Portal remains the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and it's an essential accessory for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
