Does the LEGO Dimensions gateway portal work across multiple systems?
Every copy of Lego Dimensions comes with a USB Gateway Portal for scanning characters, vehicles, and level packs into the game.
Can these gateway portals be used across different consoles?
For example, if I own the Wii U version of Lego Dimensions, will I need to buy another portal specifically for the PS3 version? Or can I reuse my old one?
Best Answer
To clarify the previous post, note that the Game Skinny article says,
If you are playing using the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One, these pads only work with their respective consoles because of Microsoft's peripheral certifications...
So the answer should be:
- Xbox 360
- Xbox ONE
- Wii U ? PS3 ? PS4
I also happen to have Disney Infinity bases for Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox ONE, and can tell you that each respective Xbox Infinity base ONLY works with its own console, but my Wii U base works on PS4 and PS3 as well. I would imagine that Lego Dimensions and SkyLanders bases work the same way, with 3 unique versions of the base manufactured to span across all consoles.

The portal and Lego figures from the different version work on each console. They're not specific to the console and the PS3 portal would work on the PS4 as long as you have the PS4 disc for the game.More answers regarding does the LEGO Dimensions gateway portal work across multiple systems?
Answer 2
So, I know this is extremely late (4 years later) but at the bottom of your Lego dimensions base, there is a print in the middle. On that print it states the model number and the listed consoles it works for. For instance, mine says model/modelo No. ###### for ps3/ps4/WiiU
Answer 3
the WII/PS3/PS4-Version also works with Linux as USB-HID but needs there custom (python) scripts as RFID-Reader and three multicolor LED-Output-Device
