this product is only for the people who want to play PlayStation but they were at a different place or you can be able to play anywhere you go and you can access your PlayStation remotely

I got this for my fiancé for Father’s Day and he absolutely loves it!! He tells it’s the best gift I ever got him. I’ve also played on it as well and the graphics are amazing
Promising Concept, but Connectivity Issues Held It

After seeing so many positive reviews and knowing how flawlessly my PS5s run, I thought the PlayStation Portal would be a no-brainer. My consoles are hardwired, so I expected a smooth experience—but unfortunately, I ran into significant lag that made even single-player offline games nearly unplayable.
To be fair, this may be a result of my internet service provider, but I tested alternative remote play solutions (like apps on my computer), and those worked without issue. Further I pay for higher speeds and I do not have this issue to other devices. When the Portal did work, I really enjoyed the experience—it has a lot of potential.
Ultimately, though, the inconsistent performance was too frustrating, and I ended up returning it. I genuinely hope future updates or hardware iterations resolve these issues, because the concept is great.

Let’s talk about what this thing ISNT to clear confusion. It’s not a standalone game player, and it’s not even the type of device you take with you to play on the train, plane, or even on crappy hotel WiFi. If you want to buy for those reasons, you’ll be disappointed.
IF you’re a parent who doesn’t have the TV available in your home network, you want to play while laying in bed, or want to have quick sessions while holding a baby in one arm, then this is the device for you. With a strong local WiFi connection and a wired ps5, you’ll get excellent performance, true controller functionally, and a high fidelity screen. It’s worth it if you’re a member of a relatively slim target market.
