PS Portal Discounted to $147 on Amazon Resale for Handheld GTA 6 Play
Amazon Resale is selling a used PS Portal for $146.99, a 42% discount from its $250 retail price. The handheld accessory streams PS5 games, making it the only way to play GTA 6 on a portable device. GTA 6 launches exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.
The discounted Portal arrives as Sony recently raised its retail price from $200 to $250, making the $147 resale price a notable bargain. Amazon’s “Very Good” condition rating means the device should function like new, though original packaging may be missing, and buyers retain a 30-day return window. The Portal itself is not a standalone console; it streams games from a PS5 or, with a premium PlayStation Plus subscription, directly from Sony’s cloud library of over 120 titles. For GTA 6, which launches exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, the Portal offers the only portable route to play it, assuming a stable internet connection.
This deal could lower the barrier for players who want GTA 6 on the go, potentially boosting accessory sales and cloud-streaming subscriptions. However, it may also highlight the growing divide between console-exclusive releases and portable gaming options, as handheld PCs and Switch 2 owners are left out. The reliance on strong Wi-Fi for cloud play could frustrate some users, but for dedicated fans, the Portal’s discount may make a single-game purchase more justifiable.
