The item may show moderate packing damage upon inspection but functions and looks as good as new.
The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, combines the form factor of an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. The Portal retains the DualSense's signature features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. Although it's designed for streaming games from your PS5, it requires a stable and fast internet connection, especially for remote play outside your home. Note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it needs a PS5 to function.
Update: The PlayStation Portal has evolved, eliminating the need for a PS5 to enjoy gaming. Sony now allows Portal users to stream games directly from their PlayStation Now cloud service, expanding your gaming library to over 120 titles, including hits like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To access this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 per month, offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth mentioning that the PS5 games can also be streamed within your home using the PS Remote Play app on various devices, including the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex and may not fully replicate the DualSense's unique features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy:
"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations, turning skepticism into admiration. It outperforms using a phone with a clip-on controller and offers a seamless experience. It's perfect for playing PS5 games from anywhere with good WiFi, even when the family is tied up with the TV on other consoles. While it's not a standalone device and still requires a PS5, its potential is only limited by the lack of WiFi access that needs browser logins and the absence of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these drawbacks, it's the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play and a must-have for PS5 owners who crave handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
