"Deals on Sony's PlayStation 5 are much more common than those on its PlayStation Portal, the handheld that can remotely stream games from the console via Wi-Fi. But for Black Friday, the Portal just got its first major discount to around $178.99 ($21 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Additionally, you can save up to $100 on every configuration of the PlayStation 5, including the more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro."
"The PlayStation Portal launched to relatively tepid reviews back in 2023, with The Verge's Antonio G. Di Benedetto ultimately concluding the device is flawed, but fun if you have fast internet. However, Sony has made strides to improve the experience over recent months, highlighted by a recent update that adds cloud streaming. The feature allows PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream select PlayStation 5 games, including and Resident Evil 4, directly from the cloud instead of from their consoles over Wi-Fi."
"In terms of hardware, the PlayStation Portal is essentially a standard DualSense controller split in half with a crisp eight-inch 1080p display in the middle. It supports DualSense haptics, too, so you get the full experience of the adaptive triggers and tilt controls in games that support the features. It's great for playing PS5 games around the house; however, the overall experience is dependent on the quality of your Wi-Fi."
The PlayStation Portal received its first major Black Friday discount to around $178.99 at major retailers while PlayStation 5 models, including the PS5 Pro, are discounted up to $100. The Portal streams PS5 games over Wi‑Fi and now supports cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, allowing select PS5 titles to be played from the cloud. The handheld uses a split DualSense design with an eight‑inch 1080p display and full DualSense haptics. Performance depends on Wi‑Fi quality. The device only supports Sony’s Pulse Explore and Pulse Elite wireless headsets but includes a 3.5mm jack for wired headphones.
