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

The PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen sandwiched between what resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It enables you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps, incorporating all the advanced features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that serves as a substitute for the DualSense's touchpad. While the PS Portal can stream games even outside your home, you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection to ensure smooth gameplay. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to function.

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 their PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, expanding your gaming library to over 120 titles, including popular games 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 must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 per month, is a more budget-friendly alternative to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth noting that you can achieve similar functionality within your home by using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setup is more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal is a surprisingly delightful device that exceeded my initial skepticism. It offers a vastly superior experience compared to playing on a phone with an attached controller, and its performance was much better than I expected. I appreciate the freedom it provides to play my PS5 games from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, which is particularly useful when my family is using the TV to play the Switch. However, it's important to remember that it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5 to operate. The main drawbacks are the lack of support for WiFi networks that require a web browser login and the absence of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, it's an excellent solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for these issues, I'd consider it a must-have for every PS5 owner interested in handheld gaming or competing for the household TV."
