The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the middle. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming console by streaming games directly from your PS5 at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the DualSense's touchpad. While the Portal can stream games beyond your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 for operation.
Update: Exciting news! You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature allowing users to stream games directly from PlayStation Now, their cloud streaming service. This means that PS Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup is more complex and lacks 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."
