Great remote play device to play your home ps5 games on the go. Easy to set up and has the perks of dual sense controller at your fingertips. It’s not a standalone system so make sure to have a ps5. Downside is LCD not oled display and no Bluetooth support but the price is reasonable.

Great device when you want to play on the go! Also able to play anywhere you travel as long as you have WiFi. Love being able to play and watching sports on my Tv lol

It’s a solid handheld that was lacking portability outside of your home. But with the recent update, which makes it able to play game natively without the need of being hooked to the PS5, it’s a solid option for those who want a handheld that can play all of your PlayStation library and is way more budget friendly compared to other handhelds on the market.

I love my PS Portal! Especially the black version. With the new update that lets you cloud-stream anywhere, it became so much better. I can play my PS5 games anywhere I go without needing to be on the same Wi-Fi. The screen looks great, controls feel just like a DualSense, and everything runs super smooth. If you like remote play or gaming on the go, this thing is worth it.

If you are like me who likes to play but don't want to get out of bed, this is a perfect addition to your PS5, it is practically a PS5 controller with a screen, you can play any game without having to move from your most comfortable place

Honestly really helpful if on vacation at in-laws and you’re to yourself and if hospitalized it’s a great distraction just make sure you have good WiFi. Most definitely for single player games.

I bought this for my husband, thinking it would keep him happy on days when he couldn’t hog the big TV mission accomplished! The PlayStation Portal is basically a magic mirror that beams the PS5 straight to his hands, letting him play in bed, on the couch, or while I’m watching my shows. Peace was restored in our marriage immediately.
Setup was painless (even he figured it out without a YouTube tutorial), and the streaming quality is surprisingly smooth as long as you have good Wi-Fi. The controls feel almost exactly like a DualSense, which made the transition seamless.
Downsides? Well, now he’s playing everywhere which means I occasionally have to fight for his attention, but that’s a small price to pay for a happy gamer husband.
If you want to treat your gamer partner (and maybe even keep your TV to yourself), the PlayStation Portal is absolutely worth it. Just be warned: you might need to schedule your date nights around their remote gaming marathons! :)

Perfect! The PlayStation Portable remains a standout handheld, offering impressive graphics, solid controls, and a strong library of classic titles. Its multimedia features and durable build add appeal. Battery life is decent, though outdated now. Still, for retro gaming fans, the PSP delivers a fun, portable experience even today overall great.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband-- he absolutely loves it! During peak internet usage times, we do experience a little bit of lag with the interface, but the rest of the time it is a smooth experience! (The RGB was a nice, unexpected touch) I highly recommend this PSP!

The PlayStation Portal is a good alternative to play PS5 games remotely with wireless connectivity. It’s sleek, simple to use, and ideal for players who want to game away from the TV—but it has some limitations. When playing GTA 5 online you do get some lagging but it’s not terrible.

This was even better than expected. So far, I’ve only used it at my mom’s house and her WiFi is extremely spotty. Even with this being the case, the portal has ran very smooth for an entire day with very few connection issues rising. I can’t wait to take it home and connect it to my fiber internet

After many years of streaming games, using every service and device imaginable, I can confidently say this is the best platform and experience hands down. I've switched full-time to the PS Portal!
The quality of the games, the stream, and the input responsiveness are all best in class. I'm currently playing ARC Raiders and loving it. And yes, all of that is on the Portal, with no PS5 necessary!

Are you in bed, feeling a little sleepy, but can’t resist the PS5 calling to you from the living room? Don't worry about disturbing anyone with the TV light—this device has got your back! As a dad, husband, and remote worker, I understand how tricky it can be to squeeze in gaming time. The PSR has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to enjoy my favorite games while the family is sound asleep, all without interrupting their peace.
I find myself using it more often than I realize because I genuinely love its lightweight design and stunning screen. Here’s hoping for a PS5 Vita in the near future, as that would be an incredible addition!
Great value and quality all around.
Gamer Dad Approved!

Device is definitely fun for at home gaming. connects to ps5 through remote play, and allows PS Plus streaming games with strong Wifi. Haven’t taken it while traveling, but hopefully it does good with Wifi on the go! Brings back memories from PSP. Sony should definitely do a 4k version.

I'm absolutely loving my PlayStation Portal!* I bought it on Best Buy, and it was definitely worth the amount The setup was a breeze, taking only about 5 minutes to get up and running. The remote play connection is surprisingly smooth, even on Wi-Fi. The 8-inch LCD screen is crisp and vibrant, making games look amazing.

The PlayStation Portal is a fantastic device for gamer parents. You get to play your games anywhere, full Dual Sense functionality, and easy to setup and use. If you have ever used PS Remote Play, the experience will be very similar. With a device like this, your experience is dependent on how good your WiFi is. Unlike using remote play on your phone or tablet that has mobile connectivity (4g or 5g), the portal can be limiting when on the go. However, connecting to your phones mobile hotspot works great as well. To compare using the PlayStation Portal to say the Backbone One, ergonomicly the Portal is miles better in terms of comfort of use. The Backbone One definitely has its situational uses, but as a person with larger than than normal hands the controls felt extremely cramped so it's a vast improvement in that regard. Comparing how gameplay works on both, the experience will nearly identical in terms of connectivity. One down side to the Portal is that it uses the same remote play functionality as the app on your phone which is kind of a bummer, but overall my experience on both devices have been great, both on WiFi and on mobile. Is the PlayStation Portal perfect? No. Is it a useless device that the internet has been bashing? No. The Portal isn't for everyone, and is definitely targeted to those that can't always use the TV or dedicate hours of couch time for a gaming session. Some negatives that I have with the device are it's battery life and no Bluetooth connectivity. If you have ever used a Dual Sense controller before, you know how fast those batteries drain during gaming sessions, the Portal is no different unfortunately. With no dedicated graphics hardware or really any power sucking hardware (other than really the screen) you get your standard Sony 4-5 hours of use between charges. When having multiple mini gaming sessions throughout the day, I'm always looking for a charger. One major omission the Portal has is that there is no standard Bluetooth connectivity. The only way to connect to it is to either use wired headsets (which some may prefer) or buy Sony's PS Link compatible headsets which an additional cost on top of the Portals $200 price point. There are work arounds for using wireless headsets but it requires connecting a dongle to your PS5 and connecting your headphones to it, but you're limited by the range of the Bluetooth and how far away you get from your console which is really unfortunate. Even with some of the drawbacks, I really enjoy the PlayStation Portal and use it almost exclusively for gaming sessions. I haven't personally experienced any connectivity issues, drops, or disconnects but your milage may vary depending on your Internet connection. Happy gaming!

This Handheld Device has been the best gaming purchase I ever made! I can walk around my house freely and continue to game , or even when my neck gets sore from looking up at the tv this device allows me to play more comfortably. Very exceptional updates every month as well and it doesn’t lag and depends on the WiFi connection .
