Is good not great, since it depends mostly on your upload speed of your internet. Try using good ethernet cable on the ps5 for better connection. If using wifi try putting your primary bandwidth on your ps5 to the 5gtz . Also let your ps5 run for like 2 minutes before connecting, when i connect the portal immediately after turning on the game the connection was static while using wifi. Overall good accessory to have.

This is a pretty amazing little device. My teen sons love them and found they can be played almost anywhere with a Wifi connection, with one son playing his on his phone hotspot while in a friends car. (It lagged, but it worked!) The screen is good sized and very clear. My only concern is if the joysticks start drifting later, there is probably no quick fix. We caught these on sale, so I doubt I would have paid full price for them.

I love this system! It’s so much better than using my iPad and mobile app. The screen is excellent quality and it’s well made! I’ve really enjoyed it. Only thing that would make it better would be to be able to connect any type of Bluetooth headphones

The PS Portal is certainly not for everyone. I think it only appeals to a small variety of people. Remote Play seems to be only popular with hardcore Playstation gamers. I got it because my parents watch a lot of TV, sometimes they binge watch shows for hours and I get bored and sometimes want to play a game or if i'm playing something that is inappropriate or something not of their tastes I would play the PS Portal on that specific game. When it works it works, but I recommend connecting it to a 5G network as I ended up doing, not a 2 GHZ network. While the overall functions are good it's a shame the Streaming services seem to be blocked and that would have been a great selling point to stream shows on the PS Portal as it has a really great screen and very useful when you need it. It isn't perfect but there is certainly room for improvement.

One of the best purchases i have made. This makes it a lot easier to lay in bed next to the wife and get some gaming in. The streaming is great and i find my self playing more games.

This ps5 portal is absolutely fantastic! The build quality is top-notch, the features are incredibly useful, and it has completely transformed my kids gaming experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a consol portal .

I love this thing! It works seemlessly. I have a direct line from my playstation to my router so the performance on my Portal is excellent. I recommend keeping your game settings on performance mode for the best experience.
The set up was also very simple. I was gaming in less than 5 minutes after updates. Its also surprisingly light and the controllers are legit PS5 controllers. If you have to share the tv or if you like gaming while laying in bed, you need to check this thing out!

Having the option to remotely play its main reason why i bought it, however…. There a few flaws which I hope they can fix with an update. If you want to play any game on your console, it must be installed or else it doesnt allow you to play (stream games) also u cant use any app installed on your ps5 such as disney plus or anything else. Wifi at home is very strong and still glitches but overall ok

I was so happy I got one and I use it much more than I anticipated! As a father with 3 kids in the house all competing for the television, the Portal frees me up to be able to sit with them and still enjoy the full power of my PS5. The screen and controls just fit so comfortably in my hands and I love being able to move around the house as needed while still having access to my games. It was hard to get my hands on one of these but it was so worth the weight! Love my Portal!
