PlayStation Portal alternatives
If you’re open to keeping your handheld or remote play options open, then we’ve also got the latest lowest prices on some top alternatives below.
Remember though that none of these alternatives will do exactly what the PlayStation Portal offers – streaming PS5 games over the internet from your PS5 to a dedicated handheld device. You can recreate this in principle with the BackBone One controller and your mobile phone, but it’s worth reiterating that the below aren’t like-for-like replacements.
PlayStation Portal stock – Tips and tricks
I’ve been keeping an eye on PlayStation Portal restocks since the handheld launched, and also throughout a portion of its pre-order phase too. I’ve also embedded myself in the Portal community online from regional Facebook groups to the official subreddit channel to immerse myself in all things PS Portal – be it restocks or folks asking for network and internet tips.
As a result, I’ve seen every single stock drop happen since mid-November, and have picked up some tips and tricks that might help you get to the front of the queue if we see stock trouble again.
PlayStation Portal stock – FAQs
Is the PlayStation Portal sold out?
No, the PlayStation Portal is not sold out! As it stands at around 7.30am ET on May 5, the PlayStation Portal is in stock at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Antonline, Sam’s Club, GameStop, and PlayStation Direct in the US. It’s also available in the UK at Amazon, Very, EE, Currys, Argos, Game, and PlayStation Direct in the UK!
How much does the PlayStation Portal remote player cost?
The PlayStation Portal remote player costs $199.99 in the US and £199.99 in the UK. Variations in price will be found across different regions as stock becomes more widely available and rolled out.
Can you use the PlayStation Portal away from home?
Yes! While Sony has largely pushed the PlayStation Portal as a device to use on the same Wi-Fi network as your PS5, if you have a strong enough internet connection (be it Wi-Fi or 5G) then you will be able to use it away from home. I tested this for our review and have consistently used it on 5G – the connection takes a little longer to ‘talk’ to your PS5 but it works!
When will PlayStation Portal stock return?
It feels a bit like reliving the PS5 stock shortage all over again – we are relying on flashes of stocks without any real official word. The grains of hope we can cling to right now are the consistent restocks at the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart which might get flashes of inventory.
Do you need a PS5 to use a PlayStation Portal?
Yes, you absolutely need a PS5 to use a PlayStation Portal. The Portal is exactly that: a window into and a means of mirroring your PS5 so it can only be used in tandem with a PlayStation 5 console.
If you’ve got a unit and are looking for game recommendations then check out our guide to the best PlayStation Portal gamesand remember, you might want one of the best wired gaming headsets or a wired PS5 headset to team with your Portal too. If you’re on the hunt for other portables, however, then, head over to our guide to the best handheld game consoles you can get right now.
