If you like the ability to game around the house, this is perfect. It is helpful when your significant other is using the TV, or you're just in a different spot, like watching a baby monitor or tending to the grill! Also good if you have some downtime between projects, or when you're on vacation. Haven't had significant connectivity issues in the home.

I have loved the portal! I use it to play more story mode games so not really sure how it does with multiplayer games. I bought to bring to work so I can play during my breaks. Its been perfect for that!

Enjoy the product but it needs very good wifi to work properly. I went out and bought a decent gaming router and it still struggles. There truly is nothing like being able to kick back in bed with some headphones playing some fallout 4(addicted right now like everyone else who watches the show) or Last of Us remastered.

The sleek white design is visually appealing and fits seamlessly with other PlayStation gear. The setup is straightforward, allowing you to easily connect to your PS5 and start streaming your games in no time. The performance is impressive, with minimal lag and a smooth streaming experience that makes it feel like you're right in front of your console.

Full disclosure. This accessory to the PS5 is a lot of fun to use, but its not perfect. The purpose of this PS5 accessory is to be able to play your games via remote play “only” over wifi, ideally in your home where your PS5 resides. It is possible to play away from your home with a wifi source, but the experience isn’t as good in my testing. I would consider my home setup to be the perfect scenario to use the Portal. I have 1 gig fiber for my internet provider and a high end Wifi 6e router hardwired to my PS5 in my living room. I’m generally 6 to 10 feet from my router while using my Portal and while I haven’t experienced any drop out or delay connecting to my PS5 or my sons PS5 (his is on wifi) I have noticed frame drops and screen tearing on mainly multi player games such as Call of Duty MW3 or Fortnite. I only had one noticeable frame drop on Spiderman 2, but nothing that would make the experience lackluster. Its great to have essentially a PS5 controller and everything it has to offer wrapped around a very nice looking 8” screen. It really feels like a high end portable system even though its just a remote player. Hopefully Sony will have an update in the near future to help make the playability more seamless and more features to unlock. The positives out weigh the negatives for sure. If your like me and have more than just yourself in your household, then I would recommend this $200 accessory as it is a lot of fun to have your PS5 in the palm of your hand.

I absolutely love this thing. Is it perfect? No, you need a strong wifi or you'll lose image quality, drop frames, or some sound will hiccup. But when it's working it's a wonderful extension to my PS5. I love what they did with the controller part and the lights. It's exactly what I need to get into the smaller less intense games like Octopath Traveler. I definitely recommend to anyone.

You don't need a PlayStation 5 to use this portable station. You can purchase the PS premium yearly pass and stream games via Wi-Fi. Zero lag, and it runs smoothly.

I really enjoy using the portal. Its incredible to play PS5 games on the go and now with the remote access to some ps5 games without the console its even better.

Absolutely love the playstation portal, When there is great wifi it works like a dream, just need to figure out how to keep my ps5 on from time to time. Still no complaints, a definite great purchase

It’s neat. Really wish it could be used offline too. Adding the streaming option is nice so long as you got decent internet. The joy sticks are too loose.

If you already have a Steam Deck, Ally, or any handheld, you're better off using Chiaki or Remote Play. You're only streaming at 15mbps max. Any motion, especially on the low quality LCD the portal is using, is gonna look like a smeary mess. Using Chiaki on my Steam Deck Oled, I can bump up the quality to 30mbps with roughly 2-5ms of input latency just like the Portal.
