This item looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage observed during inspection.

The PS Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen embedded in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the DualSense controller's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the DualSense's touchpad. The Portal allows for game streaming even away from home, provided you have a stable, fast internet connection. Note, however, that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently enabled a feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now, bypassing the need for a PS5. This service offers access to over 120 games, including hits 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, costing $18 monthly—a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

While the PlayStation Portal is an excellent solution for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home, similar functionality can be achieved using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, including the Steam Deck. However, this setup is more complex and lacks some DualSense 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."
