The PlayStation Portal, Sony's handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles a DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen built into 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 key features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchpad interface on the screen. The Portal can stream games even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a very fast and extremely stable internet connection. It's important to remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone console; it functions exclusively as a remote player for the PlayStation 5, so you must own a PS5 to use it.

Good news: you no longer need a PS5 to play games on the Portal. Sony has introduced a new feature that allows owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Plus cloud service, moving beyond just streaming from a local console. With recent beta updates, Portal users can now connect directly to Sony’s cloud servers. Choosing this method grants instant access to a library of over 120 titles, including Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part I, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Please note this requires a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, but at $18 per month, it's a more accessible option than buying a $500 console plus individual games.

It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over your home Wi-Fi. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, the setup can be more complex, and you'll miss out on the full DualSense feature set.
