Good idea and the product looks great. As many others said, connectivity and lag are regular. You should just be able to connect to the internet and play smoothly. Mine is being returned.

Great addition to our ps5 if you have no other easy way to remote play with the console. Worked great for me personally with my ps5 wired to the router. Your mileage may vary.

The PlayStation Portal offers a convenient way to stream PS5 games, but it has room for improvement. Adding Bluetooth support for third-party headsets would greatly enhance audio flexibility. Local game streaming without relying solely on Wi-Fi would improve portability. Better battery life and support for cloud gaming services would also increase its overall value. Nice product but definetly areas that could be better

PlayStation Portal transforms remote play, offering seamless, high-quality gaming on-the-go. Its intuitive design and compatibility make it a must-have for gamers

Was hesitant to buy this with mixed reviews I found on connectivity but I am glad I decided to test it out myself. Works great as long as you have a decent WiFi connection. This does not work well with mobile hotspot but hotel WiFi and most places have worked just fine. I used to stream from my Steam Deck but the PS Portal provides a nicer image quality and access to tons of cloud games.

While a very nice looking device, it failed to deliver what it was designed for: remote play to my PS5.
The good;
It’s a beautiful device. The OLED makes the interface really pop, and was a delight to configure and setup. The latter being very smooth and simple.
The bad:
Horrible refresh rate for game play, which results in terrible motion blur. I’m not a professional gamer and I don’t need a 120 panel, so I figured this would be good enough for me. I’ve played with a 60Hz panel (with low response times) connected to my PS for years and have been fine with it. The refresh on the portal is so bad that FPS games are unplayable, which is unfortunate since it affects all of the titles I enjoy playing.
This is not a result of network lag. This issue occurred even when paying on my home WIFI network (I’m a EE with a very well tuned network at home).
The lesser gripe are the analog sticks. They feel more like joy cons than playing with a DS5.
If motion blur doesn’t bother you, or you play games that are more static and do not require much of a refresh rate/response time: This may be a good fit. For now, I’m sticking with remote play on my phone and will wait for another solution.
