PlayStation Announces New Portal Model With Internal Storage

The PlayStation Portal is low-key one of the biggest wins the Sony studio has pulled off during this back half of the PS5 generation. A handheld device that it continues to update to the point that it’s far better than the product that launched three years ago. Those updates keep on coming too, with the biggest one yet just announced. The trouble is, there’s a catch. Well, actually, there are a few of them.

Announced via the PlayStation Blog, a new model of the Midnight Black PS Portal is being released on December 10, 2026. The first catch, and it’s the biggest of them all, is that this new model will only be released in Japan.

The new Portal will cost 39,980 yen, so around $250, which is the same amount as a standard model currently costs in the US. It comes with a month of PS Plus Premium, the subscription tier you need to stream games directly from the Cloud to your Portal without being tethered to a PS5.

Since so much has changed about the PS Portal, we've re-reviewed it to determine whether it's still worth buying in 2026.

The blog post even notes that the Portal is the perfect way to play PS5 games without owning a console, which is the first time I’ve seen PlayStation push that agenda, even though an update has made that possible on all Portals. It has even changed the device’s name, starting with this new model, from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to simply PlayStation Portal Player.
