The PlayStation Portal is the latest in Sony’s PlayStation 5 hardware lineup. Pitched firmly as a PS5 accessory that will enable portable access to your console and game library through an internet connection. It’s a simple prospect and one that utilizes Sony’s PS Remote Play app concept - but deploys it brilliantly in a dedicated device.
In November 2025, the PlayStation Portal received a huge update to its functionality and its OS. The biggest update was the change to its cloud streaming prowess, which it now fully offers to all users with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.
This enhancement means the Portal is now a bona fide cloud streaming device for Premium members. Those players can also stream their own PS5 games (as long as they're on this list and owned digitally), which is a huge boon. The update also provided a huge OS overhaul and has taken the Portal's performance to another level, ensuring it has rightly earned the five-star score I originally gave it.
The rest of my review on this page is as it was when the Portal released back in November 2023.
