PlayStation Portal stock – FAQs
Is the PlayStation Portal sold out?
No, the PlayStation Portal is not sold out! After a long period of stock shortages and fluctuating availability, since it launched last November, the PlayStation Portal is in stock at all major retailers in the US and 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.
