 Do you love your PS5 games but hate being tied to your TV? Do you wish you could play your PS5 games on the go, or in any room of your house? If so, you might be interested in the PlayStation Portal, a new device that lets you stream your PS5 games to a handheld console.

The PlayStation Portal is a remote player for your PS5 console. It connects to your PS5 via Wi-Fi and mirrors your games on an 8-inch LCD screen. The device has a built-in DualSense controller, so you can enjoy all the features of the PS5 controller, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

The PlayStation Portal is designed to give you more freedom and flexibility to play your PS5 games. You can use it when someone else is using the TV, or when you want to play in a different room. You can also use it outside your home, as long as you have a stable internet connection.

But is the PlayStation Portal right for you? In this blog post, we will help you decide by listing some of the pros and cons of buying the PlayStation Portal.

Pros of buying the PlayStation Portal

• You can play your PS5 games anywhere in your house, without needing a TV or moving your console.
• You can play your PS5 games on the go, as long as you have a strong internet connection and enough battery life.
• You can enjoy the same immersive experience as using a DualSense controller, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
• You can have a comfortable and ergonomic handheld device, thanks to the DualSense design.
• You can access your entire PS5 game library, without needing to download or install anything on the Portal.

Cons of buying the PlayStation Portal

• You cannot play games natively or stream them from the cloud. You can only play games that are installed on your PS5 console.
• You need a fast and reliable internet connection to stream your games. If your connection is slow or unstable, you might experience lag, buffering, or disconnection.
• You need to pay $200 / £200 for the device, which is quite expensive for a PS5 accessory.
• You might not need the DualSense features, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, for some games or genres.

Conclusion

The PlayStation Portal is a device that can enhance your PS5 gaming experience, by allowing you to play your games anywhere you want. However, it is not a standalone handheld console, and it has some limitations and requirements. You should buy the PlayStation Portal if you need an extra, convenient way to play your PS5 games, and if you have a solid and stable internet connection. You should not buy the PlayStation Portal if you want to play mobile games natively or cloud stream, or if you are on a budget.
