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

PlayStation Portal

Original Price: $199.99 | Sale Price: $158.70 (Save 21%) at AmazonCondition: Used: Like New

The device looks and functions as if it were brand new, though it may show moderate packing damage upon inspection.

The PlayStation Portal resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It enables you to transform your PS5 into a handheld gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It incorporates all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing users to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can connect your Portal to Sony’s cloud servers instead of your PS5, giving you access to 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. To use this feature, you need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a much more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual 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 a mobile device, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setup can be more complicated, and you might miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced 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."
