April 26, 12:06PM ET: We have updated this page with a new PlayStation Portal stock drop at Currys in the UK, while checking through US retailers for signs of a new restock. We have refreshed our advice for US stock hunters heading into the weekend.

US PlayStation Portal stock remains quiet as we head into the weekend. Between Amazon's slow down since April 24 and Best Buy seemingly dropping out of the race all together, things have been pretty tough going. We'd still recommend checking in with Amazon over the next couple of days - drops have been pretty regular up until earlier in the week and could well return. Both Best Buy and Walmart seem to be waiting for more units (or stockpiling for a larger drop) as well.
Things couldn't be any more different in the UK. Not only do we still have PlayStation Portal stock on the shelves at Very, Amazon, and Sony Direct but Currys has joined the fray today as well.
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.

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.
When will PlayStation Portal stock return?
Sony was confident that more PlayStation Portal stock would be available in 'early December' across the US. We have seen several stores offering new units in the last couple of days, but these drops are particularly fleeting. Until the holidays are over, we would expect this stock drought to continue, relenting in the first couple of months of 2024.
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.
