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

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

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen at its center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains the hallmark features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. It's important to note that the PS Portal requires a very stable and fast internet connection to stream games, even outside your home. However, it's not a standalone device; it's exclusively a remote player for the PlayStation 5, meaning you'll need a PS5 to use it.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently updated the device to allow streaming directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, expanding your gaming options without the need for a PS5. With this update, Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, unlocking a library of over 120 games, including popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To access these games, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, is a more cost-effective solution than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi, it's not the only option. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, including gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this method is more complex to set up and lacks 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."
