Customer Ratings & Reviews

This wonderful piece of machinery has given me the chance to get my game on. As a grown man with responsibilites and children, those things come first. And i don't want to hog the tv by gaming, so i put it off and off and off and I never get to play on my PS5. Now I can easliy chill on the couch with my family while we all enjoy something on the big screen and I can disappear into a game-world of magic. A solid wifi connection and having the PS5 on a wired connection and rest mode helped to optimize performance. I love this thing.

Worth the money. I bought this and literally have not turned my tv back on. It’s so nice to be able to play Helldivers 2 in my hands. I have been having back problems so I can lay down and have the games on my PS5 in the palm of my hands. I only play a max of 4 hours so the battery life is great.

Pros: - The most ergonomic controller for remote play available. Very comfortable to hold and use for extended playing sessions. - Battery life is good - Screen quality is great though with minor caveat (see cons) - Overall build quality is good - Reasonably priced Cons - In the current firmware build, does not has the ability to turn on Playstation remotely (can only wake from rest mode) - In the current firmware build, does not support game streaming. - While the screen is great, but the screen finish is prone to reflection. I recommend using a screen glare resistant screen protector. - The analog stick is a bit more sensitive/loose than the standard DualSense, may take some getting used to. - Depending on the game and your network connection, may have minor delays/lags during gameplay (for me personally it was very minor). - If you are away from home, you will not be able to remote play physical games without the disc already in the PS5 console. Verdict - Recommend for those that would like to play PS5 around the house or remotely, especially for parents that needed to take care and watch the kids around the house. Despite the minor the cons, this is overall a very solid device.

The Playstation Portal is one of the best handhelds I have used. Yes it is a streaming device, ensure you have a great internet connection, otherwise the device is pretty useless.. I have used it with my PS5 and as a standalone device streaming games from my playstation plus library, both are very solid, I did have a few issues with stream quality when network traffic was high, but the game was still playable, visuals took a hit, looked like the resolution drops to 480p but the gameplay stays relatively smooth unlike xbox gamepass that adds in loads of packet loss issues, stutter issues, rubberbanding.. I suppose this is more on the servers Sony and Microsoft use and how cluttered they are vs the device itself, but it's a good point to note that games arent interrupted as much as they are with Xbox Gamepass.. Games play smooth, the device is a bit heavy, but im just not used to gaming on a handheld is all, I have tiny baby T-rex arms so it becomes slightly bothersome to hold up on its own for too long without resting my arms on something. All in all, this device saved my mental health.. I went from having a PS5 and never touching it due to the location i have it in, to now playing more games than I have in the last 10 years.. Executive dysfunction and all.

Great console, is dependent on your internet but it does the work. Great for RPG games and long story games allows for the freedom of movement.

Love this, i bought it for a child and it works perfectly! For quick and easy for on the go !

I bought this item so when my girlfriend wanted to watch TV I could still play my PS5. It works great! Has an easy setup and graphics look amazing. So far I've only played two games on it. Connections are basically having your Ps5 on and then you can change your channel to something else. It's basically another controller with a screen in the middle. I wish it was more portable like the Asus rog ally x or one of the other handheld gaming systems. But this works for my situation. Hope this helps! Thanks.

The PlayStation Portal is an overall great product with only a few drawbacks. Positives: 1) If you have a strong connection you can play anywhere, not just on your home WiFi 2) The controller design feels really nice* 3) The screen is pretty good for being an LCD The Negatives: 1) The connection has to be good and have no interference, if you're on a 2.4GHz WiFi signal you'll probably have issues 2) The touchpad choice is kind of poor, requiring a double tap for a click and a double tap + a third held for a held on the screen. 3) The audio lacks really fine adjustment, which I have found to lead to it being slightly loud, or almost muted. 4) The screen appears to not be HDR which on a few occasions seemed like it lead to some weird color crushing issues. Overall the PS Portal is a great piece that I would highly recommend for someone who has kids that want the TV or someone who wants to play less realtime games while out of the house.

I saw a bunch of reviews talking about the wifi connectivity, but i have not had an issue. I run a google mesh system and as long as i am not actively walking around the house, i haven’t had the issues i was warned about. Battery life is great, about three hours of continuous play on Gran Turismo. The only issue that I’ve encountered is that you cant run two of these from one system (the PlayStation it is attached to has to be on the wifi network). But the kid can play xbox while im playing PlayStation. No worries.

Best Remote Play experience due to the controls replicating the PS5 dual sense. The Screen is bright and vibrant and even touch screen. Battery life if great although the charging is slow. As for Remote play connection and smoothness, it needs work and after 2 updates it's still not as smooth as using it on my iPhone.

Very useful, comfortable, viable and good quality. Recommended

With the new update the PS Portal has so many features and uses to make the most out of it. Only con is it requires like super stable internet connection but other than that it runs smooth.

I love it. game play is not glitchy at all, loads as fast as my PS5. I am a little disappointed that if you travel with it you have to use wired headphones, as there is no BT capability. I would also recommend getting a screen protector and silicone case if you purchase.

I don't do reviews that much I'll make it short and sweet but this thing is awesome I should have got it a long time ago I am happy with my purchase game on

Let me start with saying this, I do really like this new handheld by Sony but I can't say it's just yet perfect. There are still some flaws to it but for what it is and the cost it's great. This system does not have any internal memory nor any port to allow you to add a memory card to it, which is its major flaw, but it's not one that hinders play. The PS Portal plays streaming games and that's it. Depending on your internet signal and your PS Plus subscription plan, you can have a lot of fun with this handheld. To get the most out of the system, you will need a good/steady wireless signal for the internet and the stronger the better. For the games, if you have the premium plan then you will get access to both your Cloud games as well as a bunch of the streaming games. Though the premium is the most expensive plan at $160 but if you are comparing the costs of the other handhelds that are double to triple the cost of the PS Portal for just the system, then the cost of the Portal plus the premium about equals out to the cost of the other handheld systems. I'm hoping that since the streaming is a new thing for the PS Portal that Sony will be adding more to it in the coming year but right now it's great for causal play. The system is not too large, though after getting used to the grips, which seem larger than the PS5 controller, I would like a larger monitor. The quality is really sharp and clear, the audio is great, not too loud but loud enough to hear and not be disturbing. I would like an internal memory option so I could have that backup memory just in case there's no internet or poor signal. So far I haven't had any real problems playing the games. There's been a few times when the signal was weak but I was also inside a small closed off room that's used as a audio recording booth, so, the signal is weak. I think if Sony added some internal memory or a slot for a card, give the monitor a larger screen size, and offered a way to watch movies on it without needing to be logged into you PS5, then the PS Portal would be the best handheld in my opinion. Right now, it's been a lot of fun for me, I've played more new games on the Portal than I have on my PS5.

Have the original but a friend of mine wanted it and I wanted the back one. Sold my white one and got the black one. Good product. Love being able to let the wife watch what ever reality show she wants while I get to game. Do not regret getting this product.

This is a great accessory at great price. Perfect screen. Love the wifi principle of being able to play stream games on the go. Love taking it on trips

its a great device feels good in the hands and the screen quality is great, the battery life lasted longer than i thought it would, overall a great purchase

This is so fun to use and play with, I love it. Very good match to take on the road

I really love this device! Screen is awesome and battery life is impressive. Only downside is not being able to connect to my AirPod pros. Spending another 200$ for proprietary headphones seems a bit much.
