I have a PS5 with disk drive so if i want to play a different game i have downloaded, i have to physically switch the disks in the console itself which defeats the purpose if im going to be away from the console or don’t want to switch it out every time. Curious to know who this would work with a digital ps5 as opposed to the physical disk console. Next issue I’ve ran into is a little bit of lagging. As it’s trying to mirror the console, it can lag a bit and depending on the game being played could cause issues. For what I do it’s minimal and can play through it. Overall it’s pretty cool and the screen size is big for handheld console. This has it’s time and place but would prefer to play on an actual tv if given a choice. Overall, if you’re a PlayStation fan and have a little money burning a hole in your pocket like I did, i’d say give it a try.

I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. He had been eyeing it for sometime and with some new updates he was sold on it but still didn’t want to buy it for himself. He uses it when we are vacation and obviously we aren’t dragging the whole Playstation on vacation or to a friends house. It’s really well built and the screen is fantastic quality.

I’ve had my PS Portal for a little over two weeks, and all in all, it has exceeded my expectations. Playing at home, I’ve noticed very few signs that indicate I’m not playing my games natively on the portal. The picture on the display is crisp, the sound is pretty loud, and the build feels premium. The handheld experience is in a league of its own, in my opinion. The screen size, the familiar feel of the Dual Sense controller, and the haptic feedback almost feels like I'm playing on my PS5—minus the obvious screen size difference from a TV to an 8-inch screen. The PS Portal has given me the freedom to play anywhere in my house without the hassle of setting up remote play on my phone, laptop, and a controller. When my wife is watching her shows, the portal makes it easy and convenient to have the option to play. It’s a win-win for gamers like me!

I was very indifferent on buying the portal but after trying it out, it is definitely worth the price if you ever wanted to play your PS5 in handheld mode. The screen has really good colors and brightness even for a LCD screen!

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

Love the portal so far. Connecting to the PS5 is seamless. I have very little lag due to my console being connected directly with 1 Gig Internet. Even outside it runs pretty well. Ive played god of war Spider-Man 2 and 2k on it and they run with ease. I’m hoping in the future there is cloud gameplay so you don’t always have to install a game on your console to play on the portal. This is perfect for when you want to continue gaming but don’t want to be so involved on the couch and causally game home or away. Battery life is decent. I played about 5.5 hours before the battery indicator went low. Charging takes a little while so if you can plug it into a fast charger block it charges in about 2-3 hours which you can go back to console in the meantime to play your games. Overall great product. Can’t wait until GTA 6 comes out next year. A lot of ppl will find more use when that game drops.

I never get to play my ps5 due to adulting. After getting ps portal I have already logged 90 hours on expedition 33. It is perfect device for a busy person that still wants to game.

It's a Device that no one asked for but definitely needed. I'm a father of 2 and i use this while they sleep. It feels great, fast response and my favorite factor is the big screen. It is not the same as my OLED C1 LG but it gets the job done. I highly recommend it. Worth $200 plus the tax

This made a big difference for me whenever i housesit. I dont need to pack up my ps5 amymoreand can just bring the portal along. I was impressed by how good the display looks.

For all Dads out there, the PlayStation Portal is a solid option for remote gaming. It connects seamlessly to the PS5, allowing you to play your favorite games away from the main TV when it is occupied by Bluey or Sesame Street. The screen is sharp, and the controls feel just like a DualSense controller. However, it’s limited by requiring a constant, strong internet connection, and it doesn’t support cloud gaming or local apps. Overall, it’s great for PS5 owners who want a fully console experience while their main TV is occupied or while laying in bed, but some limitations may not make it ideal for everyone.

This is NOT a PS5 dedicated Switch. It doesn't travel beyond the boundaries of your home WiFi network. This is made clear in the literature, but often overlooked. That said, it is nice to be able to access the PS5 from anywhere in the house and at anytime, especially if the PS5 is connected to a TV that is used for other purposes. This means that no matter who else is using that TV at the time, you can still play your PS5 games. The unit, itself, has comfortable and familiar controls, and the screen is vivid and easy to view over an extend play-session. If you have strong WiFi through out the house, there is little if any lag or stuttering. I think of this item as a "gadget" to help extend my opportunity to access my PS5. It also helps keep the peace when there is a conflict between the TV watchers and the gamers.

Love this!!! Beautiful screen. Great picture. Great connectivity. So happy I bought it!!!

From the the first day he opened it my son has been love with his portable, it was delivered on time, service was excellent, and working perfectly. Thanks great job.

I believe this device works perfectly for someone who has family/kids. Personally for me, I can't be in my gaming room all day when I have a wife & a kid. My wife & I co sleep with our son and it would be selfish of me to go to my gaming room everynight while my wife is stuck in bed with our son. There are times where my wife want's times for herself which mean I'll be putting my son to sleep instead of her. Now, there are a lot of people bashing on this device because you can already remote play with your phone/tablet and I've been doing that with my phone using the Backbone. Here are two things that I like about this PlayStation Portal over using a Backbone. 1) The screen size is bigger. My phone is only 6.3" so having that 8 inch is a plus for me. I personally don't care that the screen is an LCD that doesn't bother me at all. 2) Being able to use a Duelsense controller with all the heptic feed back is a plus. You don't get that feeling using a Backbone and to be honest. My hands gets fatigue afte about an house using a Backbone where else I don't get that using the Playstation Portal. Yes! you can connect your Duelsense to a tablet and get a bigger display than the PlayStation Portal, but you have to place your tablet on a table. You can't lay in bed with a tablet while using your Duelsense which is where this PlayStation Portal shines to me. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FAMILY/KIDS THAN THIS DEVICE ISN'T FOR YOU. NO REASON WHY YOU WOULD WANT IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO.

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.

The PlayStation Portal is unfortunately not a great option for FPS gamers due to several limitations. The most significant issue is noticeable input lag, which makes precise aiming and quick reactions difficult. This problem is compounded by connectivity issues; even with a strong connection (my internet 500 mbps) to the modem, the Portal tends to lag whenever you move even slightly away from the router. These combined factors make playing fast paced, competitive FPS games on the Portal a frustrating experience.

I'm loving it. very fun good battery life games at my fingertips on the go. very cool

I love this PlayStation Portal. So easy to pick up and play all my digital PS5 games anywhere in the house. Wired connection from PS5 to the router helps latency immensely. When I’m playing at home there’s practically no latency, feels like playing directly on the console. Outside of the house there’s a little bit of lag but my brain quickly adjusts to it. Ergonomics feel great, it’s lightweight and easy to hold, no hand cramps like playing on the Switch. Battery life is decent, I can get about 4-5hrs of gameplay on a single charge. It came packaged really nicely. Overall a fantastic product and has me playing my PS5 more than ever.

I definitely agree with a lot of reviews I’ve seen about this. This is a great device if a PS5 is your main device and you are a parent, or someone who makes time to game before bed. There have been days where there just isn’t time for me to sit on the couch, but I can play a little winding down for the night in bed! The screen is very nice, and the internal audio is solid enough. I also already have a pair of Pulse headphones which really helps! I wouldn’t play an FPS on here, as there is a little input lag that throws off timing, but I’ve really enjoyed playing single player games on here. A Steam Deck certainly does more, but this device definitely has a place in a lot of people’s homes!

I decided to get this learning that they've added the cloud streaming update. It's still in BETA so the cloud library isn't too impressive. Let's talk about a few things. Connectivity - I have a pretty strong wifi signal at home. Playing in the living room using remote play with the PS5 within 6 feet, there is little to no lag & not too much graphical flaw. I have also connected using hotspot from my phone away from home. Though not perfect, it works. There is a slight lag and graphics were choppy (connecting to PS5), so i'd recommend maybe just a 2D RPG. I haven't had a chance to connect it at another location outside my home using a strong wifi signal yet, so I will update my review in the future. Bluetooth connectivity (headphone/earphone options) - This is a negative for me. You have the option to use a 3mm input jack or ONLY the Playstation PULSE earbuds or PULSE headphones. I have the pulse 3d and was disapointed that i am limited to connecting that using a 3mm jack only to the system.
