I was a little skeptical on this but it is awesome! All you need is Wifi & you can play any game that is downloaded on your PS5! Only downside, if i had to pick one is that you cannot bluetooth your headset & the speakers are not that great.

I hate that i like this and it works well. I cant wait until they have a legitimate portable player rather than just a streaming device - its very dependent on having a perfect wifi signal. however, when it works, it works great!

I bought this because I would like to be out of my bed when I am playing games.
Pros:
- very good for adventure, JRPG, casual games.
-beautiful screen. LCD screen but good quality. I don't notice backlight bleed.
cons:
- not for fast paced games where reaction time is very important.
- not recommended for FPS games, latency is okay, but you will feel it.
-also, I don't recommend this to horror game fans. it is an LCD panel, so you'll notice greyish instead of deep black on dark scenes.
** you need a ps5 to play on this**
**this accessory is for casual gamers**
if you have extra money - buy this if you like single payer games and don't wanna be tied on your tv.
or
buy the ps5 edge controller if you're always playing FPS or any fast-paced games that rely on reaction time.

The portal has excellent ergonomics and haptics with the spotty nature of fluctuating wireless signals. For a device that costs 150-200 dollars less than an entire PS5, it really should be a 1080p HDR oled panel that is able to run PS5 games natively, but instead what we are getting is a decent remote streaming device that requires ownership(and power-on) from a network-connected PS5. Your mileage may vary, but in my 5 or so hours with the device, i had no disconnects, although i most certainly experienced audio crackle, streaming artifacts(at 60fps) and severe input lag in the 100’s of milliseconds. Remote play and cloud gaming simply isnt ready for prime time, but overall this device does what it has set out to do, and thats provide remote playability of PS5 games when a direct tv connection isn’t immediately available.

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.
