I can tell you're not 100% sure how it works so let me say this. The portal is strictly a remote player. This means you absolutely can play your physical games on it- whatever game is inserted into the system is what you'll be able to play. Since you're a plus member which I am not you can also play streaming games from their catalog whatever that may be. So you can also play any digital games you own obviously since you don't need to insert the disc for that.
When this product came out I thought it was ridiculous, I'm a big physical game guy and I thought why would I ever need this. But at some point I found I was playing my Switch so much more than my playstation, despite wanting to put hours in the playstation. That's when I figured I would try out the portal and I'm glad I did. This basically turned my PlayStation 5 into a switch on need basis and I play it so much more now. As long as you have a good internet connection at your home where the PlayStation is and wherever you plan to play it, you will be in good shape I hardly experience any noticeable latency whatsoever. I use it all the time and play all kinds of games on it. I played through Spider-Man 2 and many other recent titles such as Resident Evil.
I paid the $200 MSRP and I would do it again in a heartbeat so all these people talking about getting one for a hundred bucks used sounds like a steal to me. It's also very comfortable to use, much more so than the Switch.
