The PlayStation Portal continues to polarize gamers. If you’re wondering what other handheld consoles you could invest in, here’s five devices we’d recommend.

Most handhelds don’t even offer support for PS Remote Play, so while it’s not as flawless as PlayStation Portal, it’s great to have the option to access your PS5 through the G Cloud. Along with apps for most of the big game streaming platforms, the G Cloud lets you play standard Android mobile games, making it surprisingly versatile for its price.

The Razer Edge is available in both Wi-Fi and 5G formats. The 5G model is the better of the two, giving you access to lightning-fast speeds regardless of where you roam. It’s expensive, but most customers will find it to be significantly more useful than its Wi-Fi counterpart. Regardless of which model you pick, you’ll have to put up with a noisy fan during intense gaming sessions.

What makes the Backbone One so great for PS Remote Play is that its detected as a DualSense controller. This means you won’t have to mess around with additional key mapping or connecting an actual DualSense to your phone. Just connect the Backbone One, launch the Remote Play app, and you’re ready to start gaming.

With an optional OLED display, up to 1TB SSD, and enough hardware to run the majority of games on Steam without breaking a sweat, Steam Deck is the ideal companion for mobile gaming. Instead of streaming games like PlayStation Portal, it stores them locally — meaning you can play them without a need for a fast internet connection.
