This device incorporates features from the DualSense wireless controller, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It comes with an 8-inch LCD screen offering a sharp 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, the PlayStation Portal connects to your PS5 through Wi-Fi, enabling quick transitions between your PS5 and the Portal.
