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

The PS Portal, designed by Sony as a companion to the PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen at its center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen replacing the traditional touchpad. For remote play outside your home, a stable and fast internet connection is essential. 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 new feature allowing the Portal to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud service. This means you can access 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, without owning a PS5. To enjoy this service, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 monthly—a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth noting that while the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, you can achieve similar functionality with the PS Remote Play app on other devices, like the Steam Deck. However, setting it up can be more complex, and you might miss out on some DualSense features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal is surprisingly delightful. It outperforms my expectations and offers a better experience than using a phone with an attached controller. The freedom to play my PS5 games from anywhere with decent WiFi, especially when others are using the TV, is a game-changer. Despite its reliance on a PS5 and some limitations, like the inability to access WiFi that requires a web browser login and the lack of Bluetooth audio support, it's the best option for PlayStation Remote Play. If not for these issues, it would be a must-have for every PS5 owner who loves handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
