The PlayStation Portal is the perfect handheld device for playing PS5 games on the go. Thanks to its ergonomic design and solid performance, this is the best way to play your PS5 games remotely without losing the console experience. It won't play games natively, though, and is a streaming accessory so requires a stable internet connection and for you to own a PS5.

Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch changed the handheld console game, allowing you to play docked or on the go. This hybrid console gives you access to a huge collection of Nintendo exclusives and third-party titles, but its age is starting to show, so it could be worth considering the upgraded Nintendo Switch OLED instead - or waiting for the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
For
- Unique hybrid design
- HD Rumble
- Two controllers included
- Bright, crisp, colorful screen
Against
- Joy-Con charge on console only
- Split D-pad
- Oddly placed right analogue stick
