Excellent for what it is, despite its limitations. It just adds flexibility in where and how I play my PS5 games. Linking it up to my PS5 took a few minutes, and at first it didn’t register but after 2 attempts it worked and has worked consistently since. Latency is negligible at home, and battery life is impressive compared to traditional handheld PC’s given that it streams only. It feels premium and great in the hands, like holding an ps5 controller. It is worth it for gamers who want to play on the bed or on the couch if the tv is occupied. Is it a must have? Not necessarily. But I would definitely pick this 100% over playing off of an iPad/monitor with a controller or on my phone with an attachable controller.

Playstion portal is a very good concept having your ps5 in the palm of your hand, BUT you have to have stable and the best connection to use it’s full potential. I’ve returned it.

PS Portal is a wonderful device when you have the cloud streaming service with a good internet speed, I had some problems using remote play but it was solved when I connected the PS5 with a network cable

I was skeptical, but this has been an awesome addition to my gaming. I can keep my spouse happy by being in the same room and not isolated in my man cave.

I really enjoy being able to play some of my games handheld. However, sometimes the connection between the Portal and my PS5 is rough or slow so some games are more difficult to play than others sometimes. Overall though I really like it.

The PlayStation portal is a nice addition to the accessories section. This is solely for utilizing the remote play function. So here we go with the pros: excellent use of the ps5 controller, excellent home wifi connection remote play and great screen resolution. So the cons: poor input on controller when not utilizing home wifi, must have ps5 hardwired while utilizing the wifi on portal, and disconnects to often when utilizing other wifi outside of home with 10-15 mbs. I recommend purchasing this on sale for $99. If you have the money to waste, go ahead and buy now. The ifea is terrific, but where is the function to play offline. The option to have a dedicated hard drive for single player offline games is a must which is rare due to online services.

Bought this as a Christmas gift. The recipient said it would be great if the portal cam be connected to the PS5 network without having the main console on. They also noticed that the portal constantly lost connection to their wifi even when their in close proximity to the router. Overall they enjoyed their gift.

Bought the Portal to actually be in the living room and the family while gaming. It's great to relax lying down on the couch. It works great for that function and I can play all my favorite PS5 games (Stellar Blade, Helldivers) seamlessly. The UI animation for connecting to the PS5 is super cool. Small thing but it adds to the premium feeling.
No connection issues, including with the Pulse Elite headset. There's stutters here and there but I hardly notice it. Input lag is minimal, and I can perform well in the above mentioned action games. This is definitely one of my best gaming purchases. At $200, it feels like a steal.

A nice little device that lets you play your Playstation games without having to use a TV. Would be awesome if you didn't need to have a Playstation 5 or an internet connection to play some of these games, but it works great as intended.

Great product. I was two hours away and was playing my portal while my PS5 was on. You just need a good WiFi connection where you at. I use a Verizon hotspot and it works great away from home. I also bought mines open box and was it perfect. No issues.

The portal is absolutely a must for any gamer thats on the go. Connects seamlessly through WiFi anywhere directly to your home console. Playing Diablo 4 has never been easier.

I was a bit worried about connectivity but I have not had issues. I bought an open box to save a little and it was in perfect condition, only the box was ripped. I am very happy, it definitely lets me get in a bit more gaming time when the TV is being used!

Amazing way to play games away from the console. I love it for when there are sports going on. The only downside is lack of play away from the home network, which does not function well. I would give it 4.5 stars for this, but since I can't I rounded up to 5.

So at first when i bought this beauty it kept disconnecting and lagging. Time and a few patches later and it rocks! I looked up videos to optimize the peformance and by switching off HDR, and a few other tweaks it works well. Sometimes my orbi router needs a reboot to get this device rolling well, but it does. Its perfect for short gaming sessions for that gamer with a busy life. When it works its pretty awesome. Its just subject to internet bandwidth is low, during peak hours. Disconnects still happen but its nowhere near as bad as when it first launched.
