We found in our review that “ergonomically, the PlayStation Portal just works” with the device feeling balanced and easy to hold.
Our reviewer continued: “the 8-inch tablet touchscreen sits in place of the DualSense’s TouchPad […] And, in all honesty, it feels great to hold.”
Speaking of reviews, overall we gave the Playstation Portal a solid four-star rating and concluded that the device “executes its sole purpose excellently, as a conduit for PS5 gaming away from the big telly and outside the home.”
If you own a Playstation 5 but want a way to play your favourite games on a handheld device, then the Playstation Portal is a fantastic option. As the device is currently matching its lowest ever price, now’s a great time to invest.
