PlayStation Portal Cyber Monday restock updates and best alternatives

The PlayStation Portal continues to be extremely elusive. As with the PS5 console before it, the Sony accessory is proving very tough to find in stock. That's why we're tracking restocks across all major retailers to help you secure your own Portal. 

If you've missed all the hype, the PlayStation Portal is a handheld device that allows you to remotely play your PS5 console via an 8-inch 1080p LCD display sandwiched in between two halves of a DualSense controller. 

However, it's not a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck rival, because the Portal is not capable of native play. You must be connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal at all times. Essentially without a strong internet connection, the PlayStation Portal becomes a $199 paperweight. It's certainly not the PS Vita 2 that many have been requesting. 

Due to the device's current popularity, there definitely won't be any PlayStation Portal discounts for Cyber Monday, but we are seeing savings on some very suitable alternatives including the Backbone One and the Razer Kishi V2.

However, if you have your heart set on the PlayStation Portal, we're tracking the latest PlayStation Portal stock updates down below (and in our dedicated hub), so let's dive into all the key PlayStation Portal details for Cyber Monday 2023. 

PlayStation Portal Restock Tracker

As of Tuesday, November 28, the PlayStation Portal is sold out across all major retailers including PlayStation Direct, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. Unfortunately, there's no exact date when these retailers expect to have more stock either.

However, PlayStation Direct advises customers to "check back early December" perhaps hinting at a restock in the coming weeks. Nevertheless, as stock could appear at any moment we advise regularly checking the listing pages below, and make sure to bookmark this page as we'll bring you fresh updates as we get them.

Don't give up hope if the links provided below send you to an "out of stock" page. We're regularly updating this article with the latest details, so be sure to check back often to see if stocks have been resupplied. And if you can't wait, we've listed a few PlayStation Portal alternatives below, which are still on sale post-Cyber Monday.

PlayStation Portal restock — latest updates

The PlayStation Portal retails for $199, and there were no discounts available during the Cyber Monday sales. The device is still within its launch window, and Sony's current stock levels are struggling to meet the high demand. In fact, we're even seeing unscrupulous resellers attempt to take advantage of the situation by listing the product on resale sites with a high markup. A discount is highly unlikely. 

The bad news is that right now the PlayStation Portal remains sold out at all major retailers including PlayStation Direct, Amazon and Best Buy. However, the stock situation could change at any time so be sure to check each retailer below. And bookmark this page as we’ll update if the situation changes later this week.
