This unit looks and operates as though brand new, with minor packaging damage noted during inspection.

The PS Portal, Sony’s innovative handheld gaming attachment for 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, enabling you to stream games at up to 60fps. Equipped with all the DualSense features—haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen—it mirrors the console controller’s capabilities. Streaming via the PS Portal is possible even remotely, provided you have access to a stable, high-speed internet connection. Note that the PS Portal is not standalone; it relies entirely on your PS5 for functionality.

No longer confined to streaming solely from a PS5, the PS Portal now supports direct streaming from Sony’s PlayStation Now cloud service. Subscribers gain access to over 120 games, including popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. However, access requires the highest tier of PlayStation Plus at $18 per month, offering significant savings compared to purchasing games outright.

While the PS Portal isn’t the sole method for streaming PS5 games within your home—apps like PS Remote Play on mobile devices offer similar functionality—it lacks some DualSense features and is more challenging to set up.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

“The PlayStation Portal exceeded my expectations in the best possible way. It’s far superior to using a phone with an aftermarket controller and performs better than anticipated. Its ability to let me play PS5 games from anywhere with reliable WiFi access is fantastic, especially when family members hog the TV for Switch gaming. Despite requiring a PS5 to function, the PS Portal’s main drawbacks are its inability to connect to WiFi networks that require browser login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Without these limitations, it would be an essential purchase for every PS5 owner. As it stands, it remains the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play.”
