Customer Ratings & Reviews

Far exceeding expectations. Screen is gorgeous, controllers are comfortable. And freedom to play without any significant lag delay is really impressive.

Picked it up on a whim. It’s fun to play especially when you have good WiFi connection & when your PS5 is hardwired by Ethernet cable. Best with single player games because if the small input lag, but it’s hardly noticeable.

Easy to get set up and fun to play around the house. Really slick looking, too, and feels great in hand. There were a few times connectivity wasn't great but that can be a few factors.

My son’s new bestie, he love this game so much. He just took it on vacation to Jamaica, I told him it’s his early Christmas gift.

Listing the cons first: - First and foremost, the most important thing, the Wi-Fi signal and input lag. You will always have some form of lag, no matter how good the Wi-Fi signal and your settings are. even though it’s very small, it is still there indeed. - To pick it back off the first one you cannot play competitive style games online and by that I mean, due to the input lag. Sure, it will work, but I don’t see portal players coming out on top. - even though the screen is a decent size, the The joy cons are considerably smaller than a PS5 controller giving you less surface area to grip your thumbs. The grip is smaller too. - The charging port, it’s integrated in the back of the screen and dented into the frame. It makes charging and unplugging with the supplied cable, not challenging, but not as easy. -you are unable to connect headsets, but the portal does work with the PS buds that came out recently. Now for the pros: - The first important pro for me was the amount of fun I had away from my console. Due to the first con, I was at home, but still had plenty of fun around the house. - It’s battery lasted a good 7 1/2 hours from a full charge. Brightness and volume were up so assuming it could last longer if those are taken into consideration. - My son dropped it from about 3 feet and I was surprised that it did not have any cracks or dents into the screen or frame. So it is somewhat durable. -it is in fact, fun using it with games that are single player, like God of war, and Spider-Man. In my opinion, and in this Review I give it Four stars and the reason for that is because the fun I had using this thing. If it wasn’t for that, it would be three stars because the portal is not needed by a true gamer where there is a lot to account for and this system has too many of those cons. But all in all, I still recommend it to those who are curious enough.

This device is great to have on the go. Works best if you subscribe to Playstation premium and have a MYFI or Hotspot that gives off enough speeds to stream.

I enjoy it it works great and I love it really happy I went to Best Buy, the greatest store of all time and the greatest electronic store of all time, and it has the greatest name of all time.

Great device. My son loves it. He is able to play on his ps5 account now while traveling.

It’s not Bad, it could b muuuuuuch better, but Sony being Sony. I loses connection , but the touch screen and private experience is nice, it could b cheaper since Sony is raising membership like crazy. I give 6 out 10.

I love the idea for this! Streaming from your ps5 while using the tv for something else? Count me in. But it can be a bit laggy and have some issues depending HEAVILY on wifi. I have great wifi and i even still get some lagging. Recommended, but dont expect a handheld ps5. Its good for what it is. I think a lot of people were expecting ps5 performance and high speed/ high frame rates. Its fine for what it is!

Haven’t played it yet, but am very excited to be able to watch on my PS5 and play on my portal at the same time.

Perfect for gamers who want to game but can’t because the TV is occupied, sleek design that feels great in hand, great quality and a very nice screen. Just make sure you have good internet before purchasing or else this product is useless.

Great portable console for remote gaming. However if you’re trying to play a fast paced online FPS game such as Call of Duty, there is a lot of lag. I have a very high speed internet at home (1 gig) and I use a high end router (ASUS ROG GT6) and the PS portal still experiences lag with FPS games. However, for one player solo games, it works pretty well.

Works great purchase was easy must have a PlayStation plus subscription

Easy to set up and use. Great as an at home alternative to the tv. Its the most comfortable handheld ive ever used . As long as you have a stable connection(15-25 mbps minimum) it should work well in and out of your home. The cloud service works better than the remote play.

Bought as a gift for my hubby. He works on the go and has a ton of down time great for him to take on the go. Updates make it more worth it as well.

Great way to play on the go, only missing a star for the fact there is a bit of input lag which makes playing very competitive games frustrating. Hopefully can be resolved with a future software update.

I've had a PS5 for years, and have recently started traveling a lot more. I really wanted to be able to still play some games, while sitting in airports, hotels, etc, and lugging around a PS5 isn't really an option. I didn't even realize the Portal existed, and was thrilled when I learned about it. I picked one up from Best Buy, and it arrived pretty quickly later. Turning it on, the quality and built is well in-line with what I'd expect from Sony. I connected to my home wifi, and then input my Playstation ID. I made sure remote play was enabled on the PS5, and we were quickly in business. Man, do I love being able to play on this thing! The controls feel just right at home as if I was playing my PS5. The screen is great. Nice and bright, and does a good job for a portable device. While Sony does market this for just largely using at home, I read about being able to use it remotely. Thankfully, I've also had great success with being able to do that too! We have a Comcast connection, and I've been able to connect to various wifi networks and be able to largely do this just fine. There have been the occasional time when it lagged so much that I wasn't even able to play remotely, but restarting the PS5 seems to usually do the trick for fixing that. I've been very happy with my Portal, and am sure glad Sony put this product out!

one of the best choices i made for my self to enjoy technology

Ive bought this and was excited to move around the house but it is a bit laggy. Ive tried different wifi strength but same deal. Ok over all.
