The PlayStation Portal is a sleek 8-inch device featuring a 1080p 60Hz display. From an ergonomic standpoint, it seamlessly integrates a Sony PS5 DualSense controller. This isn't Sony's maiden voyage into the realm of portable gaming; both the PSP and PlayStation Vita launched in years gone by. Given their lukewarm reception, it will be intriguing to observe how the Portal holds up in a handheld gaming arena largely monopolized by the Nintendo Switch.
While the Portal isn't a standalone gaming device, it requires a WiFi connection to stream games via PS Now. But with its expansive screen, intuitive controls, and sophisticated design, it could be a prime choice for those who prefer gaming in a stationary setting rather than on the move.
The PlayStation Portal is set to release later this year with a price tag of $199.99. Keep an eye out for further announcements, which might encompass a comprehensive launch across all major Sony and PlayStation retail outlets.
