Save $40 on Used PlayStation Portal at Amazon

The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted before, but now you have the chance to save on a used one. Amazon Resale, which is a rebranded Amazon Warehouse, currently has PlayStation Portals in "Used: Like New" condition available for just $158.70 shipped. The original retail price for a new unit is $199, meaning you can enjoy a substantial 20% savings. While a Sony warranty may or may not be included, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the demand, we expect these to sell out quickly.

Sony's PlayStation Portal is a handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming unit by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It incorporates all the features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the DualSense's touchpad. To use the Portal outside your home, you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a new feature allowing owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access 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, without needing a PS5. To utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a more budget-friendly option than buying 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 using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be 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."
