Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fits well in my hands, lightweight, good grip, very nice display and graphics, same size of a PS4 controller just cut in half. Add a skin for greater grip and control. Plays really well at home on the internal wifi, plays well when away on a hotel wifi, just don't try to use a phone hot spot unless you don't mind lags in the video and a *massive* drain on your data plan. I tested on my phone with a 10GB data sharing plan and in 10 minutes had half a gig of data used, so the math means 200 minutes, which is about one night's worth of play. Really good value compared to other portable platforms, charges quickly and holds the charge well. Whatever you have on your home console is what you're able to play, even digitally downloaded games.

The Sony handheld device is a plus. Its just a better way to travel without taking the entire game system with you. The size is good too. This is like alien technology. The charge lasts long but you must have good wifi for the best results. Im still learning how to use it so stay tuned for updates.

Great device for remote play. The PlayStation Portal is easy to set up and works smoothly with my PS5. The screen looks great, controls feel just like a DualSense, and it’s perfect for gaming away from the TV. Really convenient and well designed.

Been wanting one of these for quite some time and with the new streaming ability it was time to purchase one. It’s a great addition to my gaming needs. The screen produces a gorgeous image. Works great on a WiFi signal. I will add I have not had any luck using my phones hotspot- but other than that I have no complaints.

Does everything that it promises, and nothing that it doesn't. Screen looks good, but is a little small for some games. WiFi connections are not great, and even with WiFi connected, sometimes will not connect to your PS5.

Great decision to purchase this item. I love my Playstation and being able to literally take it on the road with me is great. Works perfect with my cellular hotspot and all my games are available to me. Great graphics and the controllers also feel great.

I originally bought this because I have some games I like to play handheld, as they are easier to see. I love Stardew Valley, but I always feel like I'm squinting at the TV, and this makes it more enjoyable. I was a little worried about hand pain, as I do have hand and wrist issues, but it's surprisingly comfortable to hold and not too heavy. So I have no problem playing for hours at a time. You do need to have your PS5 on in order to use remote play, but they do offer an option of cloud gaming with one of the higher PS Plus subscriptions, so you technically wouldn't even need a PS5 at all if you decided to go for that option. Battery life could be improved, IMO. You get maybe 5 or 6 hours of play on one charge, which could be annoying if you're travelling. Overall, though, it's great.

If you've a PlayStation owner, this is a great addition. With the new firmware update that just recently happened, the update turns the portal into a true handheld gaming device. The 2 thing I don't like is that there is no web browser and it only supports certain Bluetooth earbuds. Sony to be exact. Other than that, I have no regrets in this purchase.

Works like a dream, now I get to actually play my ps5 since my tv is taken over by my 5 year old, and I can take it anywhere with wifi. Waiting for it to link each time is a little annoying but no way a detriment. The graphics are insane!

I got tired of always playing my PS5 in front of the TV. This device fixed that. It is solid construction, well balanced, comfortable, lightweight and has a beautiful screen. Battery life is excellent and it comes with the Dual sense/haptic feedback we all love. $200 is a reasonable price (considering a Backbone is $100). I use this device a lot. I do need a hardwired connection before attempting to play it outside the home. Time will tell if the controller gets stick drift. 5 stars for now.

Now that you are able to stream games directly onto the device, it makes this handheld worth it. This is more of a companion device. Battery life is decent. Great for single player games and not online multiplayer like Call of Duty.

Got this to be able to play the PS5 without taking over the TV. So my wife can watch her shows and I can play while still being in the same room. Picture quality is great and screen size works well for most games I have played. Need good internet for it to work.

Love this portal . Battery life is good games run smooth . What more can u ask for ,i think sony have nailed it with thw software updates.

Far superior experience than backbone which has vastly inferior controller functionality and whose screen is only as large your phone. Portal has a nice large screen, excellent size, ps style controls with smooth controller integration across both sides of the screen, and good battery life. Does require wifi to work although it need not be on the same network. In essence, think of this as the portable version of your Playstation, giving your ps5 similar functionality as a switch/2.

I bought the portal sometime last year thinking it would be a good device to have and use while kids or wife watched whatever shows they wanted. For the most part for the it performed fine. Some connection issues at times. I tried playing online game like Helldivers or Fortnite but the lag was a bit to much for it to maintain a stable connection. Even trying to play single player games it would struggle. Now my set up may not be the best; the router and WiFi is on the first floor at one side of the house while i usually played on the portal upstairs on the other side. Fast forward to today with updates from Sony the connection is much more stable. I can play anywhere in my house, i even took it to my in laws which is a good 30ish miles away and had a great connection. And this is all with playing/streaming from what’s on my PS5. I haven’t tried the cloud gaming yet. So i totally recommend this device. It’s only gotten better and i can see Sony keeping it updated for a while.

The PlayStation Portal is a game-changer for both casual and hardcore gamers. With its sleek design and vibrant display, it offers a seamless gaming experience that allows you to access your entire library on the go. The intuitive controls and responsive gameplay make it easy to dive into action, whether you're at home or traveling.One of the standout features is the remote play capability, enabling you to continue your gaming sessions from anywhere. The rich audio quality enhances immersion, while the built-in voice chat keeps you connected with friends. Overall, the PlayStation Portal delivers an incredible blend of portability and performance, making it a must-have for any gaming enthusiast!

The PlayStation Portal is one of the most underrated gaming devices Sony has released. It delivers a smooth, immersive PlayStation 5 experience without being tied to a TV, which is a game-changer for convenience and flexibility.

This was a Christmas present and my daughter loves it. She takes it EVERYWHERE with her. Its strong the mobility helps when im doing homework. That way i can sot her down and allow her to game while i do work. This is awesome.

Read the reviews and updates making this device a true portable. Great for my daughter away in college. At first it did not connect. Later to someone's advice I connect my PS5 to ethernet and it worked fine.

Does what it says, convenient to use PS5 all over the house, controls are great, screen is great. Beware though, you cannot use streaming services on it, that is stated in places but easy to miss, still a great product
