May 15, 12:27PM ET: We have checked all retailers on this page to ensure stock is still live, and updated Amazon's UK listing to reflect new stock.
If you're heading into the weekend wondering if you'll get your hands on some PlayStation Portal stock you're in luck. We're still seeing plenty of handhelds lining the shelves right now, with consoles available in both the US and UK this week.
The PlayStation Portal has been difficult to get hold off following its launch last year, and it was largely out of stock for a chunk of 2024. Now that stock is trickling back onto shelves, grabbing Sony's remote player should be less of a chore, but the situation still seems to be changing day by day.
We were on the front line when the PS5 refused to stay in stock, so we know a thing or two about sniffing out in demand products. We've put all that experience to good use, keeping you updated on all the latest retailer movements every day until PlayStation Portal stock balances out.
Where to buy PlayStation Portal in the US

If you want to head straight to the source you'll be going to Sony's PlayStation Direct page. Stock is available here, but we don't know how much longer those units can hold out.
Where to buy PlayStation Portal in the UK

PlayStation Direct ran out of PlayStation Portal stock late last week, but we're seeing more units back on the shelves today. We won't take this for granted, though, so don't wait around too long.
PlayStation Portal: FAQ
What is the PlayStation Portal price?
The PlayStation Portal price is $199.99 / £199.99 / AU$329.95. If you see it selling for more than that, it's likely to be a third-party scalper trying to make you fall for an overpriced unit.
Should you buy a PlayStation Portal?
The PlayStation Portal is a pricey remote player, but if you regularly find yourself without rights to the TV in the evenings it could be a godsend. The tablet is wrapped by a DualSense controller giving you the full PS5 experience without having to take up the big screen, giving it a boost in functionality and ease of use over cheaper alternatives like the Backbone One or GameSir G8 Galileo mobile controllers (and the phone you'll need to run it). However, the PlayStation Portal is only for those who already have a PS5 as it requires the console itself to do all the heavy lifting, simply casting the on-screen action to your Portal device. If you don't have a PS5, you shouldn't buy the PlayStation Portal.
Will PlayStation Portal stock stick around?
We're seeing plenty of PlayStation Portal devices on the shelves in both the US and UK now, which is certainly a good sign. We wouldn't wait too long to pull the trigger if you're keen, but with so many retailers holding onto their stock for multiple days in a row now it's likely we could be nearing the end of stock woes.
We're also rounding up all the best PS5 accessories and plenty more PS5 deals if you're after console discounts and bundles.
