The PlayStation Portal is designed to enhance your PS5 gaming by allowing you to stream games directly from your console to an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into what resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It supports streaming at up to 60fps and mirrors the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the touchpad. While it's perfect for playing PS5 games within your home, it also supports streaming outside your home, provided you have a stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, broadening your gaming options without needing a PS5. This update grants access to 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. Note that you'll need a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, priced at $18 a month, which is a more cost-effective alternative to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth mentioning that while the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi, you can achieve similar functionality using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting it up can be more complicated, and you might miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal is a surprising device that exceeded my expectations. It provides a significantly better experience than using a phone with a controller, offering the freedom to play PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi. However, it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5 to operate. The lack of Bluetooth audio support and WiFi access that requires a web browser login are notable drawbacks. Despite these, it's the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play and a must-own for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
