"The Nintendo Switch paved the way for the other big players in the gaming space to rethink what it means to be able to game while on the go. We've since seen the advent of the Steam Deck-Valve's PC gaming handheld-along with some other third parties throwing their hats in the race with the Asus ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go."
"On the surface, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player looks like if you hacked up a PS5 DualSense controller and stuck the pieces to the side of your Nintendo Switch. That's not a bad thing. The PS5 controller is comfortable to use, and having the handheld mimic it almost exactly allows for a more seamless experience when playing games between your PlayStation 5 console and your PlayStation Portal Remote Player."
"Where the PlayStation Portal Remote Player differs from the other gaming handhelds is its not a standalone unit. The Portal doe not let you play games directly on the unit itself. the games you play are either streamed from the cloud or streamed from your home PlayStation 5 console. So in that sense, it's more akin to the Wii U gamepad as opposed to the Nintendo Switch."
Handheld gaming consoles changed the portable market after the Nintendo Switch, inspiring Valve’s Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and PlayStation’s Portal Remote Player. The Portal functions as a Remote Play accessory rather than a standalone handheld, streaming compatible PS5 and PS4 games from a home console or from the cloud. The design repurposes DualSense controls to provide a familiar, comfortable experience and supports up to 60 fps at 1080p. Two color options are available: white and midnight black. Amazon lists a limited-time Black Friday/Cyber Monday discount that cuts the price from $200 to $179, saving $21. The device fits families who need a secondary screen for shared TVs.
