Great Little Device

The PS Portal is a unique device. Its only remote streaming, so internet connection plays a big factor in how well the device works. I can understand that this is not for everyone, but there is something here to build on. I highly recommend hardwiring a ethernet cable from your router to the PS5, so that connection is stable. I havent had any issues with lag or disconnection while playing the portal. I have played a few games (GoW Ragnarok, Destroy All Humans 2, Spider-Man 2, The Order 1886, Spongebob Cosmic Shake, Robocop Rogue City and WWE 2k23) on the Portal and each have played better than expected. If you are on the fence about getting the device, just make sure your PS5 is hardwired to the router and you should be good to go.

It works great for what it is, if you want to play your PS5 while someone is using the tv or you want to play while in bed this thing is great. Mine works great with my mesh network. After trying this away from home i can tell you this thing is solid. I played connected to spectrum internet and my PS5 connected to ATT Fiber and I did not notice any lag whatsover. Keep in mind if your wifi hardware is crap then you may get a lot of stutter that some reviewers mention. I did not try this with multiplayer games just single player games and it works great. I wish it had bluetooth though but for the price i think its a great accessory.

Ima give it a 5/5, because it’s cool, but you really don’t need it. I like to buy everything and judge it’s worth afterwards, you do not need this. I played it twice, just show my friends but I never used it in my real life.

By now most know the capabilities of this. Only plays on wifi, doesnt travel well for that reason, etc, etc. I knew this and knew i would only use it at home before bed or while someone else was using the tv. That being said I was cery excited. The hardware is a 5/5. Very cool design, same features as a PS5 controller with adaptive triggers, even the rainbow light effects. Very good and fun for arcade style games and RPGs. The cons: it is very hard to play precision games loke COD or Gran Turismo. Its hard to focus and there is minor but somewhat frequent lag (as expected playing these games over wifi, and yes, i have good wifi). Overall still glad i have it to play some relaxing rpg style games before bed.

I preferred playing indie games like balatro and the children of morta on it. I probably wouldn't play more graphically intense games on it depending on latency and your internet speeds.

I purchased this not thinking I would use it is much as I have. This frees you from being tied down to the TV in the spot you have your PS5 hooked up at. I can be laying in bed playing games, while my wife is watching TV.
It does have some limitations. You do need a stable WiFi for it to work flawlessly. It can lag at times, but for the most part it works great. I do not play many PvP games on it, as there can be a slight lag that can pop up can make or break your game. But it works great for single player games.

With the new updates the ps portal is so worth it. You don't need a PS5 even anymore to play it. Just get a subscription to playstation plus and as long as you have ok wifi you get a huge amount of games to play! Works amazing. I was never a fan of cloud gaming but this has changed my mind. And it's at a great price! If you have a PS5 it works out even greater cause you can play your library basically everywhere now

I got this so I can continue playing games while someone else uses the main tv. works GREAT when on the same network as the PS5, basically no lag, very similar to the Wii U in that aspect. When I use a mobile 5G network there is some lag but still playable, I usually use this to play classic PS1 or PS2 games, I would not play competitively with this. its built perfect for casual gaming! I would recommend this to anyone who needs/wants to share the main TV with a friend, family member or significant other, they can watch their shows and you can keep playing your games in the same room with them. its fantastic

Awesome device for playing when you have a family and the TV might not always be available. Plays well, although online play does not play too well, single player games play as good as they should. Definitely recommend if you have to make time to play with how busy life can get.

Dualsense haptics are great on this. Steam deck and phones can't quite get it right. Wish there were more options to adjust the streaming quality like chiaki and pxplay, theres not much on portal and the stream quality isn't that great.
