The PlayStation Portal is Sony's dedicated handheld gaming companion for the PS5. Designed similarly to an extended DualSense controller with an integrated 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, it effectively transforms your PS5 into a portable console by streaming games at up to 60fps. The device replicates all the features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the traditional touchpad. It supports remote gameplay outside your home, provided you have a stable and fast internet connection. Keep in mind, however, that the PS Portal is not a standalone device—it requires a connected PS5 to function.

That said, Sony has expanded the functionality of the PS Portal. You no longer need a PS5 to play games on it. Thanks to recent updates, users can now stream directly from Sony’s PlayStation Now cloud service. This means access to over 120 titles such as *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Resident Evil 3 Remake*, *The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered*, and *Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales*. To use this feature, you must be subscribed to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which currently costs $18 per month—a much more cost-effective alternative than purchasing each title individually.

While the PS Portal isn’t the only way to stream PS5 games within your home—similar results can be achieved using the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices or other handhelds like the Steam Deck—the Portal offers a more seamless and immersive experience. Setup is straightforward, and unlike third-party solutions, it retains the full feature set of the DualSense controller.

PlayStation Portal Review Summary – By Seth Macy

“The PlayStation Portal was a pleasant surprise. I went in skeptical but came out genuinely impressed. It delivers a far superior experience compared to using a phone with an attachable controller, and it works far better than expected. I especially appreciated being able to play my PS5 games from anywhere with decent WiFi, particularly when the rest of my family was hogging the TV with the Switch. While it’s fully dependent on a PS5 and lacks two key features—web browser login support for certain Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth audio connectivity—it remains the best solution currently available for PlayStation Remote Play. Without those two limitations, it would easily be a must-have for every PS5 owner who enjoys handheld gaming or shares a living room TV.”

Whether you're looking to game remotely or simply want a dedicated handheld experience for your PS5, the PlayStation Portal—especially at this renewed price—is a compelling choice. And if you’re willing to wait for a deal, keep an eye on Amazon Renewed for more opportunities to save on high-quality pre-owned units.
