Looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage was observed during inspection.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled 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 the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that takes the place of the DualSense's 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 exclusively as a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature that allows owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5 console. With this update, Portal owners can choose to connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers. Opt for the latter, and you'll unlock access to a vast 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. Keep in mind, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, but at $18 a month, it's a more cost-effective solution than buying a $500 console and additional $70 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 results by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method involves a more complex setup and lacks 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."
