Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing blew away my expectations. After a few updates they added the ability to play games streaming from PS Plus without the need for a PS5 and that took it over the top. The wife and kids usually are using the TV so this allows me to play PS5 or classic games while they are watching TV.

Great item would suggest anyone to get one and you would definitely enjoy it.

The Portal was a neat concept but in the end, I ended up returning the device. My setup was a hard-wired Ethernet to PS5 and a higher-end tri band routers including WiFi 6E. I also have gigabit speed home internet. Unfortunately the Portal does not use anything above the 5ghz band however. I tested remote play on my iPhone and MacBook Pro prior to preordering the portal to make sure my setup was optimal. After having nearly a flawless experience with those devices. I decided to pick up the portal for the integrated dualsense controls and large display. I played multiple games but mainly focused on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and GT7. Both games worked ok but there was just a bit more input lag compared to other devices I’ve used. The connection would degrade significantly in Ratchet and Clank when any graphically intense scene with lots of moving items such as explosions. This made it unenjoyable to play these offline single player games. Playing any fast-past game online wasn’t even an option with the input lag. I wish Sony would add more functionality to the device like being able to watch movies or play Spotify or even include a browser for Netflix or so you could log onto public WiFi like in hotels since I travel a lot. As far as a subpar remote play device for use around the house, $200 felt like a bad value for this piece of tech.

best purchase I made all year I’ve always wanted a playstation portal I finally bought one and I love it

Absolutely amazing device, with a few shortcomings. Nothing particularly intrusive that a device restart doesn't fix, but the PS Portal will occasionally be unable to find the PS5 for no particular reason. Once connected though, it really shines.

Bought this for Christmas, he absolutely loves it. He now can play anywhere he wants!

Got this for my son for Christmas. He loves it. Great display.

Great system to use on the go. Howe er limited in functionality when the center button is a double tap.

This is amazing! Works much better than I was expecting, and much better than my phone or iPad was working over remote play! Love being able to play my PS5 wherever in my house, and on the go!

I was on the fence about this particular item. After all it is not a stand alone device. But I am able to play my PS5 from anywhere in the house. I underestimated how fun this device would be.

Had this for sometime now and i must say im enjoying my time with it, the screen is super clear, good battery life, really enjoy playing astro bot on it, definitely recommend it.

Awesome item. Currently playing right now!! Outstanding customer service.

The PlayStation portal is hands down a better handheld then the switch it so comfortable to hold and play your PS5 games wherever you want work home a friends house at the end of the day if you want this handheld buy it $200 bucks is worth it.

Bought This In Addition To My PS5. Connection Could Be Better But Overall When It’s Connected I Enjoy Laying In Bed Or Couch Without Looking At The Tv

No handheld felt as good as this did in my hands. Sadly the inconsistant connection. The inability to wake my ps5 now and then. The lag. 3 stars is the best I can do. 5 stars for comfort and screen. This is close but not there yet.

If you have the use case the Portal is amazing. I have a shared living room TV so the Portal has been an amazing addition to my gaming setup. Would have given it a 5 but there’s some minor issues. First Sony doesn’t want you to use any headphones but there’s and connecting other products is a hassle. Second, if you have multiple users you have to sign out of the portal and sign in as the other users. It’s not an easy transition like it is on the console. Some of these issues could be patched and the future and then it would be the perfect remote player.

This device truly is just a portal to access your PS5 games when not sitting directly in front of it. I was planning to buy a new gaming controller and ended deciding on this instead and it's been a nice addition. Streaming quality varies and affects gaming sessions, so I don't recommend for any competitive gamers.

Grear for the price if you have a Ps5 already. Take use it at a friends house or on trips as lobg as my console is on rest mode baxk at the house

I was concerned about the Portal's ability to provide a smooth playing experience, considering all I'd read online. In use, I've been very pleased - particularly with the streaming option. Using our home internet (which is fiber but has plenty of other devices connected) streaming quality is smooth and fun. A little slower response for games played remotely from the PS5 but still playable as well. Worth it so far!

Bought this as a gift for my husband so far no complaints be loves it ,screen is a nice size picture is very clear and grip is just like controllers, we travel alot so we are looking forward to traveling with it. I think its a great buy!
