PlayStation Portal (Used: Like New) for Under $160

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99
Discount: 21%
Current Price: $158.70 at Amazon
Condition: Used: Like New

This device, although showing moderate packing damage upon inspection, looks and functions as if it were brand new.

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 embedded 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 hallmark features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While it supports streaming 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 operate.

Update: Exciting news for PlayStation Portal owners – you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy gaming on this device. Sony has introduced a feature allowing direct streaming from its PlayStation Now cloud service. This means you can access 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, without owning a PS5. However, to take advantage of this feature, a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus is required, which costs $18 per month – a more budget-friendly option compared to 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 at 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, this method is more complex to set up and may not include all the features of the DualSense.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations in every way. Initially skeptical, I found it to be a far superior experience to using a phone with a makeshift controller. Its ability to let me play my PS5 games anywhere with a decent WiFi connection has been a game-changer, especially when the TV is occupied by family members playing on the Switch. While it's not a standalone device and needs a PS5 to function, its main drawbacks are the lack of WiFi access requiring a web browser login and no Bluetooth support for audio. Despite these limitations, the Portal remains the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and I would recommend it to any PS5 owner looking for a handheld gaming option."
