Customer Ratings & Reviews

REMEMEBER, this is a straming device, not a standalone gaming system. You WILL experience minor stuttering. It will be different from the experience directly from the PS5 on a TV. With that being said, it is completely playable and I have put some hours into it without issues. I did, though, have to make sure my PS5 was connected via Ethernet cable because WiFi was too unstable to have smooth gameplay. Once I connected my ps5 directly to my router via Ethernet cable, the Portal worked really well. The screen is not OLED but it looks really nice. The controller feels great in the hand. I have medium sized male hands. I have tried PS5 remote gaming through my iPad Pro 11 inch with ps5 controller, iPhone, and MacBook. I’d still choose the Portal over those. It just feels better. And I like that the controller lights up green when turning on the the Pip-Boy light in Fallout 4. Overall it’s a great product as long as you know what you’re getting.

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

I think the Portal is a great thing to use. I feels great in your hands and the display is great. The only big issue i have is that there is no bluetooth and the 2 options playstation are releasing for the portal haven’t come out yet and costly a roughly combined ~$300. Haven’t had any bad experiences with this product at all.

This is the only way I can play my PlayStation five away from home. Excellent but the my the Wi-Fi connection doesn’t matter on the quality of the picture but overall A+.

Things great. I went in for a backbone and didn't have any type-c got a portal instead. Good decision

It is a nice looking piece of tech. It don’t take much to connect it to your PS5 and start playing. A couple issues is that even with good internet, it gets spotty and frame rate drops, and if you have an update in the background, yikes. And I wish the joysticks was the same size of the dualsense controllers, but that’s just a personal issue. It’s convenient when I want to watch a show and still play the game, hopefully it gets better the more supportive updates comes along.

It is very high quality and cheap for what it has. you can play it from around the world and on the road. if it is laggy it means you need a stronger connection. So overall i would recommend buying this product.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He absolutely loves it and has used it almost every day since he has gotten it. He loves being able to play any of his favorite games even while we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend for any PlayStation lover!!

This is the perfect gift for all PS gamers!! Feels great in your hands! Screen is impeccable! Lightweight and so easy to use! Just set up remote play, search and sync to your console through WiFi, and it’s game on!! Perfect for when family is using tv!

Beautiful screen, easy set up. Love being able to play my favorite games in hand held form.

Excellent screen . Works well with wifi 6 router. No glitches or drops in my condo. Really a pleasure to hold the games instead of always off the TV across the room. Not yet tried remotely, but I've used remote play on android and know what to expect (it's great when it works :)

The perfect accessory for a PlayStation Fan with loose bowel , and /or a needy wife .. now when she begs me to come to bed , I just go , but bring the portal.. so now she has company and I can play helldivers 2 .. happy spouse , happy house.. Tho it IS NOT A Portable PlayStation .. just a controller connected to a WiFi enabled oled remote screen .. so only useful if you want to play in a WiFi 6 environment , It has very specific uses , and it fits perfect into my needs.. if you ever find your self at home and want to play ps5 but be free to sit anywhere your WiFi covers , then I highly recommend At the same price as the PlayStation edge controller , which has a pitiful battery . I find this a far more useful peripheral.. all around ..

This device is decent when it works. I did my research before buying it and after so many reviews on YouTube I understood I was taking a gamble. This device will work well or not at all depending on your WiFi. You might need to consider purchasing a device to amplify your WiFi connection if there are other people in your home streaming or just using the WiFi in general. As far as ease of use this device is pretty self explanatory and it doesn’t have many options for optimizing performance. I have seen some reviews about people taking it on trips and to different places but this device is not a Legion go or any other type of handheld that acts as a mini computer or even a small portable console like a Nintendo switch. For all of those hoping to use this device and have 0 issues especially when using it outside your home, BEWARE. The signal would drop from time to time and it would log me out. There is also a stutter that occurred from time to time but it’s alright for story mode games. For competitive online shooters like Fortnite and MWW it is HORRIBLE. Very laggy. This product is made for a very specific audience like myself who has kids. This is perfect to have around the house when the family is occupying the TV or computer. It is definitely overpriced for what it is. If this device was closer to $99 I would’ve understood. Also in regards for audio I would give it a 5/10. The sound isn’t very clear without any type of headphones. That being said another thing to consider. I have the Sony buds and the portal will not connect to those. I have to connect them to my PS5 and then mute the portal and the sound form the ps5 will continue into the buds. Overall I ended up returning this device after about a month. Wasn’t terrible but not worth the money with all the headaches that it brings.

At it's core. This device is FANTASTIC for streaming PS5 games in(or out) of your home provided you have a sufficient wireless network and/or knowledge to improve it. That said, your streaming performance is based on that ALONE. The device itself could use some NATIVE cloud streaming which would make it WAY more attractive for the $200 price point. Lack of Bluetooth is not a complete deal breaker for me personally but I can understand why others would have an issue with it. Controller is best in class(obviously the dual-sense features are top notch) and trump all others configs/controllers on that alone and streaming has some minor hiccups here and there with regards to dropped frames(which seemingly are due to HDR and/or unplugging the HDMI cable as per reddit) but I am sure that knowing sony the device will be improved upon over time via firmware updates. In short, temper expectations with this device and look for great PS5 game streaming and/or cloud streaming (in the future hopefully via firmware update) and forget any thoughts of doing anything on the device natively due to mid tier(Qualcomm) chipset.

Great for someone like me who has young children and rarely has time to sit in front of the TV and game. The only problem I have with it is shoddy connection. I have excellent wifi and equipment but i believe the connection issue has something to do with my mesh wifi setup. When it works on my wifi it runs great.

Easy to use and easy set up Its works very well with my PS5 and is very comfortable

My nephew love it he said que can’t stop playing with it n now que can travel n take it with him

This thing is incredible for the price. Easy setup, amazing graphics for a handheld and did I mention the price. Can’t wait to see how it performs with streaming games on the go. Highly recommend for anyone looking to play PS5 games on the go.

love it , screen is very big and easy to play with. connects perfectly via wifi

The PlayStation portal is a joy to own. It is a convenient device that allows me to enjoy my favorite PS5 titles in the palm of my hand. I love its sleek design, and its display is so gorgeous. It lets me wake my console from sleep mode, which is incredible, and I can't wait to play future titles on it! It
