Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player for PS5 Console

About Sony PlayStation Portal

The Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player is a dedicated handheld device designed to allow PlayStation 5 owners to stream their games wirelessly over Wi-Fi. It is not a standalone console; it acts purely as a remote display and controller for a powered-on or Rest Mode PS5, giving players the flexibility to game in any room of the house without monopolizing the main television.

The Portal features an eye-catching design that essentially splits a standard DualSense controller and places an 8-inch LCD screen in the middle. This screen is capable of displaying games at 1080p resolution and 60fps. Crucially, it incorporates the signature DualSense features—haptic feedback and adaptive triggers—providing console-quality immersion that is often missing from using a phone or tablet for Remote Play.

To use the device, a stable Wi-Fi connection is required (a minimum of 5Mbps, with 15Mbps recommended for the best experience). It streams all compatible PS5 and PS4 games installed on the paired console. While it includes a 3.5mm audio jack, it does not support standard Bluetooth audio; wireless headphones must use Sony's proprietary PlayStation Link technology.

The PlayStation Portal is ideal for users in shared living environments or those who desire the convenience of a dedicated, premium handheld experience for their PS5 library.
