Great looking device, sleek, lightweight and looks amazing. Downsides would be it only has streaming services so you are at the mercy of your connection and lag/latency issues. No twitch shooters or frame perfect fighters on here

Overall, I think the portal gives a pretty good experience. It's great for people who want to game while the TV is occupied with something else, and want the full experience you get while playing directly on your PS5. The biggest surprise for me was that there's almost no lag. Even side by side with your TV, the difference is hardly noticeable. One of the biggest reasons I purchased was the ability to remote play on other wifi networks, and it definitely exceeded my expectations there. Again, there was almost no lag. Even playing 2k, where you have to time your shot well, I wasn't disrupted by lag at all despite my PS5 being over 100 miles away.

I read a lot of mixed reviews about not being able to stream your games without being on your home network…. I have been able to stream my games from anywhere with WiFi

The portal is exactly what was described. A streaming device that works off the PS5, however I was able to stream to my Steam deck with that same level of lag on my portal. It is completely unplayable without the ps5 wired to the router, which was a disappointment since my PS5 was upstairs. The controller is as amazing as a typical Dualsense 5 controller. Overall, this device is not a must have, but not entirely bad either.

Great device! Using it around the house works seamlessly. Pairing to different WiFi spots is easy. The functionality of the controls works the same as the console. Only wish the thumb sticks were a bit bigger. Other than that great product to play your games while away or relaxing at the house.

I truly love this thing! I travel from time to time and it helps fill the boring hours spent in hotels. I have never had a strong enough wifi signal to play games like COD 6, or GTA 5, but playing slow paced single player games like FS25 is enough for me.

Nice tool for when I'm feeling lazy my PS5 is hooked up to my PC monitor and set up for streaming so when i don't want to turn on a computer just to play a ps5 game I can stay in bed and use the portal

I love the concept and the screen is really nice. I also love the controllers but the WI-FI 5 on the device is awful. I have WI-FI 7 in my home and the gameplay was not good. For this reason, im returing it sadly. Hopefully they will update it and ill buy it again.

After purchasing the back bone first. To much to set up every time and to much lag!.. the portal solved both. Used it over 100 miles from my house and worked great!! Well worth it!

I bought this device because I work remotely for the equivalent to half the year, and didn’t want to lug my ps5 around with me. Gotta say I am happy with the product, I don’t get all the bad vlogs I’ve seen about it. If I had to say one thing that bothers me is that the product is not Bluetooth equipped, but a 25 dollar Bluetooth device fixed that for me.

Bought mine open box excellent and I am very happy with my purchase. Works and looks brand new, best investment as a dad of 2 who likes to game daily while my kids take up the TV. Thank you Best Buy!!

Need strong WiFi and a premium PlayStation plus account, but if those things are something that isn’t a decision maker. This device is definitely something to get, it’s great for being around the house, or traveling on a hotspot when you need a bit of a gaming fix in .

Take your PS5 on the go and you can play the games you have on the PS5 whereever you have an internet connection. Easy to set up, easy to play. Glad I got it.
