Sony’s $200 DualSense controller and tablet hybrid is solely for streaming games off your PS5 via remote play — something you can already do with other devices.

Sony’s new PlayStation Portal that launches November 15th is a $199.99 device that does just one thing: it streams games via Wi-Fi off of your home PlayStation 5, requiring that you already own Sony’s pricey console. It doesn’t do any kind of cloud streaming like Nvidia’s Geforce Now or Sony’s own PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, and it can’t run anything locally .

Compared to a Switch with standard Joy-Con controllers, the tradeoff in weight is made up for by its large grips that are comfier to use for extended play sessions. I’ve initially played a handful of hours with various PS5 games in my limited time with the PlayStation Portal so far. One thing I can certainly say right off the bat is that it feels familiar.
