The PlayStation Portal is not a true handheld gaming console by the brand. The device is instead a remote player, which works akin to a portable monitor with controls for your PlayStation 5 console. The device works by connecting to your console over Wi-Fi connection and streaming the gameplay on its screen. Check out its price, specifications, and features below:

PlayStation Portal: features, specifications
PlayStation Portal plays supported games installed on your PS5 console and uses the incorporated DualSense controller. The device also faithfully recreates the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in supported games. It reacts to your in-game choices and simulates environmental factors. Dynamic resistance mimics the tension of interactions with in-game gear and objects in select PS5 games.
Using the remote player is simple: turn it on, press a button to connect to your PS5 console, and start playing. Your PS5 console must be connected to a broadband internet connection, powered on fully or in Rest Mode, and paired with your PlayStation Portal. VR games and games streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming are not supported. Only one PlayStation Portable can connect to a PS5 at any given time.
