    PS Portal review

    The PS portal remote works well when you have it connected to great WI FI, I was unable to connect it to my T-Mobile hot spot so I really didn’t get to enjoy it like I had hoped. Overall if you have a portable WI FI device you will enjoy it.

    A great handheld that integrates very well with your PS5. It’s wonderful to play your PS4 games as well.

    Was really looking forward to using the handheld remotely in my bed however, after connecting to my network and attempting to play NBA 2K, the gameplay was lagging and choppy. All other devices on the same network in my household run fine. This product needs improvement.

    I just got it to check it out and form a personal opinion. Truth is, it’s kind of underwhelming and doesn’t necessarily meet the “play on the go” want someone may have. Basically just a remote play controller. Still cool to have I guess.

    Honestly I was expecting better. For $200 it’s not too bad however we are in 2025 and this much lag isn’t worth it to me. Remote play works when it wants to and the streaming is fine but it’s $140 a year for some mid selection

    Good idea but just doesn’t work well enough

    Save your money. 1gb hard wired internet speeds to the ps5. And ps portal connected to 5gz WiFi up to 800mb downloads and it still loses connection and lags an pixelates. Cant use as remote control only, has to be connected to wifi and have remote play connected. Good idea but doesn’t work well enough. Wish it would have an option to connect straight to the ps5 w/o internet or WiFi, almost like the Wii U and gamepad. Also wished i was able to use it as spare controller with out remote play or WiFi. Also it’s a streaming device but can’t stream YouTube from the ps5. And some setting can’t be adjust in remote play from the portal. This should be 99$ just for the quality build. This will end up being a flopped device unless Sony opens it up to everything the ps5 can do. And let us use it as just a controller without remote play or WiFi. Also it won’t connect to T-Mobile hotspot without setting up the WiFi manually by punching dns numbers .

    Has been really fun to have when the TV is taken or when laying in bed/out of the house. Requires a good internet connection, but it’s worth it if you have what it requires.

    This is so close to be good, however I feel like PlayStation didn't fully think this out. It only works with the PS5 counsel on, and even though I have strong WiFi going to both the counsel and the portal it is very glitchy and jumpy. I usually have to restart both devices a few times before I get a "good" connection and can play un-interrupted
