PlayStation Portal

The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s dedicated handheld Remote Play device designed to stream games from a PlayStation 5 over Wi-Fi to its built-in 8-inch 1080p LCD, effectively putting your PS5 gameplay in a portable form without the need for a TV. It incorporates full DualSense controller features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, giving you the feel of a DualSense in a handheld shape, but it doesn’t run games natively—everything is rendered on your PS5 (or via cloud streaming with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription), then sent to the Portal for display and control. This makes it an excellent companion for PS5 owners who want to play their library around the house or on the go, but it’s not a standalone console like the Switch or Steam Deck.
