Save on PlayStation Portal Just in Time for Christmas

With the rise of hybrid and portable consoles like Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck, there has never been more demand from players to take their games wherever they are. While traditional consoles like Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are still as popular as ever, Sony has come out with a portable device in recent years – the PlayStation Portal.

Equipped with an 8″ 1080p display and a full gamepad with DualSense features, this is the ultimate device for any PS5 owner. Just ahead of Christmas, you can save 10% off the PlayStation Portal, which is one of the best last-minute gifts you can score this year for any gamer.

PlayStation Portal for $179.99

By far, one of the biggest uses for the PlayStation Portal is remote play. As long as you have a somewhat fast and reliable internet connection, you can use remote play to connect to your PlayStation 5 and play any games currently installed on the console. I had a Portal for a while back at launch, and I found the remote play experience plenty satisfactory when connected across the country while on vacation.

Earlier this year, PlayStation released an update for the Portal that added cloud streaming. You can stream games from the PS Plus game catalog, but you’re also able to stream games from your own library. Looking to check out a horror game on the fly? Try Alan Wake 2 or Resident Evil Village. How about an RPG? Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is right there.

Between cloud streaming and remote play, the Portal is an excellent device that can unlock new ways to play. If you’re someone on the go constantly with a busy lifestyle, this is an easy way to play more games, as you’re free from having to sit down in front of your couch with a PS5. Just pack the PlayStation Portal and head out!
