I've always wanted a PlayStation Portal but with a bigger screen so I tried this mobile controller — and it turned my iPad into a gaming powerhouse

A Razer Kishi V3 Pro XL iPad gaming controller.

I love my PlayStation 5. It's one of the best things I've bought with my own money, and I've spent an ungodly amount of hours playing the likes of Baldur's Gate 3, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Alan Wake 2, and FIFA (sorry, EA Sports FC) on my PS5 Slim. While I take my Nintendo Switch 2 with me when I'm traveling, it just doesn't have the same, diverse game catalog that I like.

So, for a while now, I've been considering getting the PlayStation Portal — it was even sitting in my cart for a few days during the 2025 Black Friday sales. But truth be told, I'm not entirely convinced by the Portal because I've heard mixed reviews. Do I also want to pay nearly $200 for a remote player? Kinda but also no. Then it hit me: what if I just used the PS Remote Play app on my iPad and got a controller designed specifically for the iPad. Enter the Razer Kishi V3 Pro XL.
