Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

PS5-less streaming escapes beta on PlayStation Portal

 A fresh update for PlayStation Portal goes live in the coming hours, freeing the handheld from the shackles of its PS5 master connection. 

The update (which has been in a limited beta over the year) changes the interface and user experience with a new: 

Remote Play home screen: Connect to a PS5 console paired with the PS Portal to enjoy games installed on that console. A PlayStation Plus membership is not required for Remote Play.

Cloud Streaming home screen: A new dedicated home screen for Cloud Streaming allows PlayStation Plus Premium members to instantly stream a range of compatible PS5 games without waiting for downloads.

Search screen: Quickly look up any game that supports Cloud Streaming. If you don’t have the entitlement to stream a game, a QR code will be displayed to direct you to the PlayStation App or to a web browser on another device.

PlayStation Portal

The upshot for PS Plus Premium users is that the latest games like Astro Bot, Borderlands 4, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Ghost of Yōtei, Grand Theft Auto V and hundreds more. 

That includes games from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog can be played directly without being installed on your PS5. 

PlayStation Portal

A little more detail on the PS blog. As the PlayStation Portal approaches its second birthday, let's hope Sony continues to market this major underground success story, and provide more updates to add extra features.
