Really enjoying this impressive piece of tech thus far. It's given me the opportunity to open up our family TV more as I can play my games elsewhere, including out on our patio (perfect for summer!). The hardware is impressive and as long as your internet is up to modern-day speeds, the performance is solid during both multiplayer moments (Helldivers 2) or single player games (Last of Us)

Perfect for when my significant other wants to watch TV and I want to play my games. Thought about just moving my PS5 to another TV, but this remedies that and being able to play anywhere in the house is more useful than I thought it would be. It's also nice if I want to get in a little gaming session before bed. Light weight and comfortable to hold. It's very niche, but worth it if share the TV with others.

Great product, as long as you have solid internet somewhere it works perfectly as a remote player. I’ve never had a problem and it’s a great addition to the PlayStation Eco System.

I've been using it for a few months now and it works really well for what I need it for. My PS5 is hard wired in so I haven't had an issue with connectivity. I've used the portal while my PS5 stayed at home over 90 miles away with little to no lag on games like Madden, Helldivers, COD, and others. I would recommend this strictly if you want to be able to play your games and you don't always have access to your tv.

I was a little disappointed at first. I purchased it and went on the road 2 day later. I did a quick setup but not a complete setup as i should've. I had no gaming for that entire week.
I returned home to return the Portal, but decided to check myself. Luckily i did. Bad programming on my part. The system works great. Its like having my PS5 with me at all times. Great buy.

This is an amazing little device that's well worth the $200. It's not as feature rich as the Steam Deck or other hand-helds, but again, the price reflects that. It feels great in the hands, I have zero lag and if you want to play PS5 while someone else takes over the TV, this is the solution. I knocked one star off of quality because it's not an OLED screen (but that would've increased the price).

Loving the purchase.
travel a lot so remote play is awesome.
the screen is much better than the switch.
BUT it doesn't have storage, replaceable joysticks ends, and performance can be non-existent if you don't have FAST wifi.

Over all a nice way to remote play all your PS games. But if you don’t have a strong WiFi signal in your home or apt it will disconnect and reconnect to your PlayStation. If you take it with you on vacation the connection to your PS5 will depend on your WiFi signal were you are.

PlayStation Portal is a great add-on device for the PS5. Usability is limited to high speed internet connections which can make for lackluster gameplay in random hotspots.
The 8 1/2 inch screen delivers a sensational visual experience but the distance between hand grips is too far for a comfortable hand position.

This device is extraordinary and easy to handle, even my 4-year-old son found it easy; it is quite adaptive, and above all, you can take it everywhere and follow the game lol.

Streaming issues are there even with decent Internet. I love the ergonomics and controls if the system. Being a streaming system hurts it. I've had worse play remote playing my ps5 as compared to the ps plus streaming beta. If you don't have the Internet didn't buy this. I currently have spectrum and still stutters and disconnects.

Great product for what it is designed to do. Great for gaming when you also want to watch TV or have children who utilize the TV as well. Less disruptive for late night gaming if you don't have a whole living area to occupy.
Can also be used on the road if you work away from home often. For only $200 compared to other gaming consoles very good - even if it needs a PS5. If you already have a PS5 it's a great add on.
