Nice that cloud gaming is available now. Many games at your disposal.

When the internet connection is good, it runs fantastically. However with a sub optimal connection it can be a pretty rough experience. Charge lasts for a while and is very comfortable to hold while laying down.

Good product if you don't have a dedicated TV to play games on. Streaming is ok, but streams from PS5 box - I am not yet able to get games to stream otherwise.

Awesome little device by sony that lets me play my ps5 in bed while my fiance sleeps! Screen is beautiful - only negatives are I wish the sticks were full size, streaming games isn't allowed (Makes sense since youre already streaming from the device though) and changing brightness is a bit cumbersome while playing

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.

PlayStation Portal has been a great accessory to my PS5 and has worked better than I expected. I was a little wary of streaming from my console, but I haven’t had any issues. It’s great to be able to play in bed or in another room if my main tv is being used by someone else. I haven’t had a chance to try it away from home using my phone hot spot, but I understand it also should work great that way.

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.

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.
