The PlayStation Portal Remote Player is back in stock at most retailers now
Looking to get your game on this summer? Beat the heat with the PlayStation Portal, a remote video game player that lets you stream your favorite PlayStation 5 games using Remote Play. That means you can enjoy PlayStation games anywhere in your home, not just from the couch or when you're sitting in front of the TV. It's remained of the hottest gaming devices in Sony's lineup since its debut in May 2023, which explains why it's perpetually going in and out of stock.
Fortunately, it's available again today at most retailers at its list price of $200, so there's no need to pay a third-party reseller markup. If this gaming gadget has been eluding you, now's the time to claim one of the devices for yourself. (If you've already got one for yourself, it makes a great Father's Day gift for a dad who loves gaming.)
PlayStation Portal Remote Player: $200
The PlayStation Portal is an 8-inch tablet-like display surrounded by a PlayStation DualSense controller. It delivers 60fps with 1080p resolution and connects via button press to your console.
You can play compatible games on your PS5 (as well as some PS4 titles) with the Portal. Some games will not work with the player, but the majority will. Plus, you get the same quality of controller as you would by simply playing at a console. The DualSense halves surrounding the screen come with the same haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a more immersive experience.
This streaming device is similar in form factor to the Steam Deck or the Asus ROG Ally, but it's locked to PlayStation games and requires a Wi-Fi connection. That makes it perfect for seamless streaming play and enables you to take your PlayStation 5 play sessions and enjoy them in another room, outside the house, or in bed where it's much more comfortable.
Right now, you can get the PlayStation Portal Remote Player at multiple retailers, including Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy for its list price of $200, save for Amazon, where it's currently $1 cheaper. We don't know how long this device will remain in stock, so be sure to grab yours while you still can.
