Where To Buy The PlayStation Portal in the UK

While the winds of Black Friday rage on beside us, there's another name on the lips of PlayStation fans this shopping season: PlayStation Portal. While the initial reaction to the 'play PS5 on your sofa' device was mild, stock levels have proved extremely limited, and now everyone wants one. We gave the device an 8/10 in our review, stating that it's a great second screen for your PS5, but lack of Bluetooth and an internet browser limit its use outside the house.

For now, we're all on the hunt for one of these tidy devices, as the allure of fighting over the TV during the holidays quickly becomes a reality. You're in the right place, as we've got all the details on where and when you can buy the PS Portal for the foreseeable future in the UK. For stock news in the US, check out our other relevant PS Portal buyer's guide.
