But if you’ve done your research you can come to understand the value it has and from its overall functionality. Unfortunately, this device is not for everyone. As for me i love it, and appreciate it, and have value in owning one. While i love traditional gaming on a console, I also love gaming on handhelds . This device gives me the best of both worlds. Ive had fun playing Ghost of Tsushima, Kingdom Hearts FM, God of War 3; from in bed at night, my kitchen, and boldly enough from my bathroom. Its network dependant, and ive had a few issues due to their being excessive rain in my area but nothing that impedes me from playing and enjoying my games. The lag from my experience has been minimal and while i wont say its been near perfect. My experience has been highly positive. This has been a great investment for me. I’d encourage others to give it a chance. Just by doing your research and understanding it, you know if its truely for you or not.

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.

I picked up a Portal on a whim ahead of a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by it. The best way to think of it is it's not as a stand alone console but rather a two-way streaming device of your PS5. It does take a little getting used to, especially if you're playing a live service game. But as long as you have at least an 15 Mbps connection you should be fine.
One major downside is it can be tricky to connect. Connecting to a network that uses a captive portal/login page can be difficult as it doesn't have a built-in browser. Using a travel router or hotspot is probably the best way to go to avoid this problem.

This is a great streaming device for anyone that is interested in playing their PlayStation 5 handheld. Although you can play movies on your PS5, they will not stream to this device. Also if you're wanting to play co-op without split screen, this isn't going to be the answer. You can play co-op with one person playing on the TV and one person playing remotely but both screens will still display as split screens. The portal will only stream games and will display exsactly as it would on your TV. Quality of the streaming will depend greatly on users Wi-Fi quality. Feels very similar to the DuelSense controller in hand, with slightly smaller more raised joysticks. The screen is beautiful and a great size for handheld gaming.

Even though its not a stand alone system this is the product we needed. I love this thing. I can be hundreds of miles from home but as long as i have a decent connection to wifi i can hop ont my PS5 with remote play but what truly made this a five star product was the addition of cloud gaming and so far sony and the Playstation brand have done it well. Until we get a new PSP this will have to do and its not a compromise.

Works great around the house, but I've tried traveling with it and the wifi couldn't keep up. Wouldn't recommend unless you're gonna play games at home in a different location from your setup.

I like the addition to my PlayStation family.
I keep my ps5 in the living room but with this device I can play the game from the comfort of my bed without fail.
