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

The PS Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains the DualSense's features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Exciting news for PS Portal users: you no longer need a PS5 to play games on it. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access a library of 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, without needing a PS5. To take advantage of this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complicated, and you may miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:

"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
