    The portal has excellent ergonomics and haptics with the spotty nature of fluctuating wireless signals. For a device that costs 150-200 dollars less than an entire PS5, it really should be a 1080p HDR oled panel that is able to run PS5 games natively, but instead what we are getting is a decent remote streaming device that requires ownership(and power-on) from a network-connected PS5. Your mileage may vary, but in my 5 or so hours with the device, i had no disconnects, although i most certainly experienced audio crackle, streaming artifacts(at 60fps) and severe input lag in the 100’s of milliseconds. Remote play and cloud gaming simply isnt ready for prime time, but overall this device does what it has set out to do, and thats provide remote playability of PS5 games when a direct tv connection isn’t immediately available.

    I love the portal it's great. I get to enjoy my ps5 in the comfort of my bed or in my favorite chair when I don't want to spend all my game time sitting at my desk. Its not a true portable console but it's better than nothing at the moment great alternative in my opinion.

    It works flawlessly to remote play my cosole when visiting my parents for the holidays, way easier than lugging my console over when staying for a long weekend! No input lag or noticible difference compared to playing on my tv at home. It did take some time to get used to the wider feel of the controls but it is as comfortable as a regular controler.

    Device is of good quality, buttons and sticks feels like the real PS5 controller. Screen is sharp and bright. Speakers could have been better placed. Requires strong internet connection. Caution: Currently doesn't connect to public Wi-fi (ones that require web browsers) like hotels and some coffee shops.

    I purchased the PS Portal because I specifically wanted a lightweight remoteplay device for my PS5 with a physical mute button. I have an 3 Eero 6E mesh routers and i still have problems with smooth playback so im guessing this device needs a very optimal setup to be nearly lag free. Results may vary, but it still works well enough.

    Fantastic Device for Travel

    I got this for travelling. The connection time varies depending on the network you have access to, but once it connects, you’re golden! The games available on the cloud for download and play are great as well. However I do wish they’d have more sports titles.

    Connection Issues

    Not a huge fan. Ended up returning it. Connection does not work very well even if on the same wifi network as the PlayStation and it constantly looses connection. Can get the same result using an iPad and remote play if you have one. I just can't justify the price point for those few setbacks. Great concept though just needs some improvement with connections

    I returned the item due to the fact that it didn’t work very well with my WIFI, I’ll probably get a new one from you guys again because of how good the experience was, Everyone was nice and friendly which made the shopping experience how it should’ve been!
