The unit looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.

The PS Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen and mirrors the DualSense controller's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. While it requires a very stable and fast internet connection, the PS Portal enables you to play your PS5 games even when you're away from home.

Originally, the PS Portal required a PS5 to function, but Sony has recently introduced a feature allowing users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy gaming on the Portal. By connecting to Sony's cloud servers, you gain access to 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. Note that you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month, to utilize this feature.

It's worth mentioning that you can achieve similar functionality within your home by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you'll miss out on 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."
