Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

I have two portals and enjoy the versatility to share space with my wife and kids. As a gamer with arthritis thanks to previous heavy labor jobs, the light weight of this device makes it very comfortable to use for long periods compaired to heavier standalone devices like a switch or steam deck. I give for 4 stars for ease of use because some users may need basic network setup skills to get eveything out of the portal. The speed of the network helps, but doesnt matter much. Users in a close community like an apartment or a condo might experience interference with other neighbors wifi, ruining the experience. A solution for this is to use an app like "wifi analyzer" to see if your wifi channel is shared with others and switching the router to an open channel. If the router automatically picks the channel a monthly reboot can help it select an open channel ensuring the best experience for the Portal and other devices on the network.

I have had the PlayStation portal for about two months now. I can honestly say that I love it. I had the backbone which I used with my phone, and this is 100 times better. The screen is large and has amazing picture quality. As large as it is, it doesn’t feel too big while playing it. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants PS five as a handheld. You have to link to your PS five to use it, unlike other handheld devices. But it is well worth it.

This is a wonderful addition to our PS5 in which we are extremely happy with. it allows additional play from another room and enjoyment for the other players in the house. I’m so happy we purchased it.

When I first heard about this during the summer, I said there’s no reason for me to need or want one with my wife betting me I would. Fast forward to November, the Portal was released and I was recovering from surgery. I couldn’t go to my cave to play my PS5, and I suddenly realized a reason to want and need one. She won. After a pure stroke of luck, I managed to get one. It has linked easily to my PS5 each time I’ve turned it on and I have experienced very little lag, only an occasional hiccup when the internet traffic is high in my home, but no interruption to the overall gameplay. My main gripe is I’m old school so the majority of my games are disc based, meaning if I want to play NBA 2K, Madden, Spider-Man 2, etc., I have to go and insert the disc. However, that’s not the fault of the Portal. Download from now on! The screen looks very good in my opinion and any complaints are nick picky. The speakers are surprisingly good and louder than expected. Incidentally. I have a pair of Sennheiser headphones connected to a dongle and plugged into a port on PS5. When the Portal connects to the PS5, I turn on the wireless headphones and listen through them while playing. The wireless range has worked even with the distance between the rooms, so there is a workaround for lack of direct Bluetooth. 4 stars instead of 5 because there is a wealth of potential with the Portal, so Sony needs to stop playing with our emotions and come with it!

It works great thanks great quality love it it’s very comfortable and I will recommend everything

Portal is a great purchase if you want to still play in your house or if you have a lot of free time in another place that is not your house, the wifi only system is a bit of a bummer, but besides that, it is exactly what you want for mobile gaming.

This device is not another console like the old PSP or PS Vita. This device is a PS Remote Play Controller with a screen. The app you download on your phone, the PS Remote Play app, to use your phone as a controller, this is the workaround. With that being said, the quality of the device feels so incredibly nice and touch screen can look so very sharp. I use the word “can” because this device’s screen quality is very reliant on your wifi and/or your hotspots. You also must be on the same connection as your primary console in order for this to be used as your controller. You cannot play at Location B with X Wifi connection, while your console is at Location A with Z Wifi Connection. Once connected, your PS5 will turn on, along with your monitor or tv (if your setup is configured that way). You will be able to see your picture on the PS Portal’s screen, and the screen your main console is connected to. Again, the PS Portal is not another console. Its a Sony made backbone controller. Furthermore, and to reiterate, the device feels so nice in the hands. Now, it may be a bit awkward to grasp, but just like any new or different controller, you will adjust to it just fine. Its a small and surprisingly heavy device. The weight isnt an issue, just surely more than youd expect. PS5 adaptive triggers remain and buttons feel very well made. No stickiness or stick drift has been seen or noticed. The Sound Quality is also quite nice, and the volume button above the screen itself is out of way, easy to spot, and easy to reach. Of course, directional sounds may be harder to notice, so I highly recommend to get this device if you plan to stay at home and want to play Single Player games. Multiplayer games are possible, but if youre competitive, it just may not be the best option. There is a way to connect your headphones to it, so even if you are competitive and desire that directional sound, you wont be at a total loss. Overall, I have been happy with my PS Portal. I do not regret my purchase. The price range may be offputting, however the device itself is a strong and sturdy one. Respectfully, you are not missing out on much if you do not own it, but it is nice and convenient to have if you want to play in one spot but your primary console is in another room.

I have used this for both local streaming on a ps5 wired to the router and also for cloud streaming. It works great for both. There is some lag but that is to be expected, it’s like playing a game at 30 fps. The video quality is good. The controller is good. The screen is good.

I can't believe how handy the PlayStation Portal is; it's a total game-changer for my gaming sessions. Being able to stream my games from my PS5 to this handheld device is incredibly convenient, especially when someone is hogging the TV. Whether I'm lounging on the couch or chilling in bed, I can keep playing my favorite titles. The screen is crisp, and the controls feel just like my DualSense controller, which makes gaming a breeze. This is perfect for anyone who wants to game anywhere at anytime.

Great device I'm liking the all black look of it. Work well have to have a strong internet connection to make if feel smooth when playing. Don't recommend on competitive PVP games but definitely recommend for PVE and solo games when just relaxing or you want to be away from where you usually game and lay down and play instead

Honestly, it’s a great product. Don’t have a single complaint about it. I just don’t use it as much as the regular. PlayStation highly recommended if you like to play on the go.

Personally I’ve had a great time with this device. Pros: with my solid internet, I noticed little to no lag while playing games. Screen looks really good for an LCD. Ability to enjoy PlayStation games with all the DualSense features, and portability to play games throughout the house. Cons: Battery life is not great (somewhere around 2 hours), requires a solid wifi connection.

Purchased from Best Buy and it works great with my PS5. Screen looks amazing and controls feel premium. Streaming is smooth with good Wi-Fi. Perfect for playing without using the TV. Highly recommend buying it at Best Buy.

The ps portal is a great device to use when you want to game at home while the TV is taken, or you want to be able to play anywhere in the house. Although it works over the Internet, it can constantly lose connectivity with your console, requiring you to reset connectivity which would be a hassle when you're away from your home. Otherwise it works great, when it works.

It works surprisingly well. With a 100mb/s connection at a hotel, I had very little issue streaming from the cloud (via ps+) and (when it worked) my ps5 at home. Battery life leaves a bit to be desired, but it's not terrible. I had issues with it initiating the connection to my ps5 at times, but this again was at a random hotel. Everything worked fine at home where my connection speed is up to 1gb/s. The black one looks so good too.

Looks and feels great. Very convenient if you want to play in bed or want/need to play while others are using the TV. Just make sure you have fast, reliable WiFi and it will feel like a portable PS5.

I like the product because you can play your games without using the tv but you need a good internet connectionso you do not experience lags while your are playing your favorite game

I like how this console feel when I play games on it especially for a PlayStation handheld console I travel due to my job and I can’t carry my PlayStation console with me this PlayStation portal helps me keep track of my games
