All those excited to take their PlayStation gaming on the go, this is the only deal you need to see this Black Friday.
While the Nintendo Switch has long been the go-to platform for portable gaming, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player is the perfect device to let you enjoy your PS5 titles without being tethered to the closest TV.
While the Portal rarely gets a discount, Sony’s handheld is now £20 cheaper, coming down to only £178 on Amazon UK.
It’s $20.99 off on Amazon in the US, at $179 and for the midnight black or white versions.

The device itself is super handy, letting you stream and play your PS5 games over a Wi-Fi connection and pick up where you left off on the console.
Given that the Portal uses the same tech as the DualSense wireless controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, it’s able to deliver the same sense of immersion the DualSense offers, just in a portable format.
With a smooth 60fps and 1080p resolution on the 8-inch screen, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player can deliver a sharp image and smooth gameplay, although it is dependent on your internet speeds.
It really is the ultimate luxury for gamers who want to indulge in a bit of gaming in the garden or on the commute to work.

The device is compatible with the games you have on your PS5, as well as some cloud titles too. What is available does depend on which PS Plus tier you’re subscribed to.
Because the Portal works seamlessly with PlayStation’s cloud streaming services, it also means you can enjoy titles that are only found on the service, such as The Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima, from the comfort of the Portal.
So if you want to add the convenience of portable gaming to your PS5 setup, this is the only deal worth snapping up. For more offers, you can also keep on top of the latest price drops for the upcoming Black Friday sales.
Sony’s dedicated Remote Play handheld slaps a nice, large display into the middle of the brilliant DualSense controller. The PlayStation Portal is an excellent, well-tailored first-party option for PS5 gaming away from your main display. However, this sole purpose will represent a lack of ambition if Sony doesn’t offer cloud gaming through the Portal some day.
