The hype is real! Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to redefine open-world gaming when it launches in November, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. While handheld gaming PCs and future Switch successors might eventually get their hands on the title, if you’re craving that GTA experience on a portable device right now, the PlayStation Portal offers a compelling solution. And today, you can grab one at a significantly reduced price!
Limited-Time Deal: PS Portal Discount!
For Xbox enthusiasts looking for a similar experience, the Xbox Ally provides remote play capabilities, but the combined cost of both devices represents a larger investment. However, right now, Amazon Resale is offering the “Used: Very Good” PS Portal for just $146.99 after applying a 30% discount at checkout. This incredible deal comes just months after Sony increased the retail price of the PS Portal from $200 to $250, making it an absolute steal!
Amazon Resale is Amazon’s official platform for pre-owned items. While listed as “Very Good,” Amazon assures that the item “looks and functions as if it were new” and may not include the original packaging. Plus, you still benefit from Amazon’s 30-day return policy, providing peace of mind compared to purchasing a used controller from less reliable sources.
The PS Portal: Your Portable PlayStation Gateway
The PS Portal is essentially an extended DualSense controller with an integrated 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming powerhouse by allowing you to stream games directly from your console at up to 60fps. The Portal faithfully replicates the features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the Dualsense’s touchpad.
It’s important to remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PlayStation 5 console to function. However, Sony has recently introduced a game-changing feature: the ability to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, eliminating the need for a physical PS5! With this update, PS Portal owners can either connect their Portal to their PS5 or directly to Sony’s cloud servers (thanks to new quality of life beta updates that launched in April). This unlocks access to a vast library of over 120 games, including Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
To enjoy this expanded functionality, you’ll need a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, but at $18 per month, it’s significantly more affordable than purchasing each game individually. While the PS Portal isn’t the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi – you can achieve similar results using the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices and other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck – the PS Portal offers a more streamlined and feature-rich experience.
