Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would recommend this to anyone who has a ps5, i wouldnt play call of duty on it just cause of the small lag. I played madden on it and spiderman 2 and it was great. The battery on the portal is great so far.

This was a great impulse buy. I had been debating on getting one for a while and I'm glad I finally did. Some games were just MADE for the Portal (Dave the Diver, Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, etc.) This is especially great for those of us who don't have central air conditioning and have to be in the coolest room. The screen is bright and the colors are great and it is super comfortable to hold for those longer gaming sessions. It has some good weight to it, doesn't feel cheaply made or anything. If you are on the fence about the portal, just get it! You won't regret it!

I was very pleased with the screen quality and ease of use of the portal. It is WiFi-dependant, meaning the faster WiFi you have the more seamless the gaming is/less lag. I’m able to play all of my games from anywhere where I have WiFi and I’m very pleased!

Honestly can’t go wrong with the device, does exactly what it says it does flawlessly. What some people don’t understand is this isn’t a stand-alone device but much rather a remote play device. Long as you have the ps5 to pair then you’re good to go. It’s convenient when you just want to relax anywhere without being locked into one area or someone wants to use the TV. Overall, I’ve had no issues with the device and would recommend to someone that is looking for convenience with the ps5

This is a great purchase if you wanna game when away from home. Even if I dont have a wifi connection it works great using my phone as a hotspot and I am able to play when no issues. I love the all black finish as well. Its a pegect handheld size and screen brightness and battery life is really good for the price.

Works great for its very specific purpose of streaming PS5 games. It would be great if Sony opened it up to allow streaming through Geforce Now, Steam, or other 3rd party applications. Screen size is right where it should be for a handheld, and the controller grips are some of the best designed and most comfortable out there for a handheld. My only problem with it is that it's tied exclusively to the Playstation format when (admittedly more expensive) competitors like the Logitech G Cloud, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally have no such restrictions.

I love this thing! The screen is way bigger than I expected too and is extremely crisp and clear. My PS5 is hooked up to a 4k monitor and even though the Portal is only 1080p, the picture looks great. I haven’t had any issues with connectivity and have been using it for a few months now. For the price, I highly recommend

The PlayStation Portable Black is sleek with impressive screen quality. I purchased the offline gaming package to stream cloud gaming, and it’s awesome! The game library is diverse, making it perfect for gaming on the go. Definitely a great investment for portable gaming lovers!

Its an excellent remote player. I like it better than using my phone or tablet. Sony deciding not to add bluetooth capabilities is a head scratcher but there are ways around it. The screen is vibrant and large enough to enjoy gaming on the go. I've used this with my hotspot and other wifi away from home and aslong as the wifi is strong enough it works great with minor frame drops. Battery life is decent and lasts longer with some minor tweaks to settings. Pricing is where it should be. Overall a great item that does what its intended to do very well, with some minor issues that are easily remedied.

Perfect little handheld for a console truthfully we you can even use it as a secondary PlayStation to a point you can stream your own Library and have someone playing on the main console comparing it to something like the Rog Ally it is a definite leg up controller feels very nice only weird part is is that you have to use the touch screen and as the touchpad on the PS5 controller I really wish they had something like the steam deck with the little mouse pad accessory with it but truthfully $300 it's worth it

I love being able to watch tv in the same room with my husband while he plays PlayStation! We used to always be resigned to different rooms. He's had no complaints with speed and functionality and often picks up the portal now even when the tv isn't even in use. Great purchase!

Very good screen, good weight, but poor connection.

I was initially hesitant to purchase the PlayStation Portal after hearing mixed reviews, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance! It’s been a game-changer for me. The convenience of being able to play remotely when I need to be away from my console is unbeatable. The setup was smooth, and the performance has been great for my needs. If you’re looking for flexibility with your PS5 gaming, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

Great if you have a PS5 or just want to play on the cloud gaming. (Monthly fee) with limits. The controller and screen are perfect for a handheld gaming setup. Just wish it was a dedicated system.

PS Portal is great at what its supposed to do. First, you need to connect your PS5 to ethernet so you have a stable internet connection. If you don't have ethernet cable, you can get them for cheap. Once its connected, it works great. I usually like to lay in bed at night and play for a little bit on PS Portal. It works great for me, because I don't want to turn on the TV in living room and play that late. Its very comfortable and screen looks really nice. Im fine with plugging in the earphones. I don't need bluetooth. All in all, its a great product. Im sure Sony will make second generation even better.

You can travel with it and play remotely. It sometimes lags and disconnects from playstation but that has to do with how many things are on the network. It eats up data so be careful when using mobile hotspot. Overall if you are using it at home it is good.

This is great for when we want to play PS5 and the TV is busy or you just want to lay on the couch with it. I recommend using "performance" video settings in-game for a smoother display on the Portal. I'm looking forward to trying it with Sony's game streaming service. Fast internet connection required.

The travel case is good and the protective wrap is fine but it makes it diffuse to charge the Portal on the charging station when it's on. Charging station seems to work decent enough as long as the Portal has solid contact with the adapter. Not a bad purchase.

Joy stick needs improvement. It doesn’t have the same force/tension to it as a regular joy stick controller so if your trying to play games with aim assist or not then it’ll throw your aim too far left or right or whatever direction you’re shooting. Other wise generally and over all I thought this was a pretty good device. I’d preface this though that I utilize 1gig download speeds and 200mb upload speeds. I have my ps5 connected to Ethernet. Cloud gaming is not quite there yet for shooting games as there is still noticeable latency. I will say however that for me at least, the latency is not too bad; and maybe milliseconds off of a regular controller to tv experience. The only thing that bugs me the most and almost made me return this was the joy sticks issue I described above. If they release some way to modify it so it has the same tension as a dual sense controller then I’d get that. Only reason I kept this was because it’s still a good device to use when someone else is using the tv and it’s pretty decent for casual non shooter games. Despite all this the connection will obviously vary if you take this beyond your own home internet; that is if your home internet is reliable in the first place. I found this to not work so great at my friends house but he has 500mb download speed internet, with alot of kids using other devices. Note that upload speed is more important when remote playing as the ps5 is uploading the feed to your portal. All this being said, there is controversy online on whether the ps5 can even utilize upload speeds beyond 20mb. Many if not all ps5 owners report this issue. Speed test on the settings, even if you have over 200mb upload speeds, will typically only show that the ps5 is using maybe 18-20mbps. Yet oddly enough if you use the browser on the ps5 and speed test.net then it shows your full upload speed. It doesn’t make sense why the os5 limits upload speed. If they removed this limitation maybe the portal for all users will be much better.

I was skeptical about this product because I already owned a Steam deck. Having decided to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. Good battery life, pleasant grip and vibration. The screen was also a pleasant surprise, although it is not OLED. If you also do not always have the opportunity to play in front of the TV, I recommend giving the product a chance!
