The item looks and functions as if it were new, though it may have moderate packing damage noted during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the advanced features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While the Portal can stream games outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's designed to be used exclusively with a PS5.
**Update**: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access 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 utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 monthly—a much more affordable option compared to purchasing a $500 console 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 downloading the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setup can be more complex, and you may miss out on some of the DualSense's distinctive features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal is a surprisingly delightful device that exceeded my initial skepticism. It offers a vastly superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller, and it performs better than I expected. I appreciate the flexibility it provides to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi, particularly when my family is using the TV to play the Switch. However, keep in mind that it's not a standalone device and absolutely requires a PlayStation 5 to function. The main drawbacks are the lack of support for WiFi requiring a web browser login and the absence of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, the PlayStation Portal stands out as the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if these issues were resolved, it would be an essential device for every PS5 owner who loves handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
