I absolutely love my portal. As a dad who still likes to game I can take this around the house with me or put a game on pause while I change a diaper. As a more serious gamer I can lay in bed with my wife while I rid the galaxy of bots and bugs. The portal delivers on the ergonomics you love about your ps5 controller while offering the versatility of a Nintendo switch.. my only gripe is that I needed an adapter to pair my Sony Bluetooth headphones to my Sony PlayStation portal..why not build that in? Oh so they can make an extra 200$ on headphones lol that’s alright I’ll deal with it

Not so much option to do with it I feel that for professional use it is not an alternative not much to say about the product. Im return to store the product

Pretty solid device! I wasn’t sure how much I was going to use this but am pleasantly surprised. It works really well and I don’t even have the best of internet. My 2 biggest complaints would be the touchpad you have to tap twice to register as a touch (not sure if there’s a fix for this) and games that require you dragging on the touchpad you’re basically covering the screen while doing so. Second I had to get the new headset since this doesn’t use Bluetooth headsets… not a fan of that at all… but everything else is great!

I really love the PlayStation Portal. I feel it's very underrated. You can stream games without a PlayStation which is priceless. The screen size is great and so is the audio. It's a great device and I hope Sony continues to show support.
Great for a second screen not as great for travel.

It works well as long as you have very stable and consistent WiFi at both where your ps5 is and where you are trying to use the portal it works great. As a second screen around the house definitely works well. However when you try to use it as a travel platform to play away from home it decent perform as well. It often cannot hook up to hotel WiFi if they have a log in screen and has connection problems often in my experience

Looks good, but falls short where it matters
The display and ergonomics are solid, but the lack of HDR support is puzzling—especially since most TVs and PS5 setups run HDR by default. VRR isn’t needed here, but HDR should have been included.
The bigger issue is connectivity. This device only supports Wi-Fi 5, which feels outdated. At minimum, it should’ve shipped with Wi-Fi 6E for smoother streaming. Since the Portal can only stream games (either through your PS5 or PS Plus), network performance is everything—and it simply doesn’t deliver.
I ended up selling mine, as I get a much better experience streaming to my PC handheld. Third-party apps let you boost bitrate, and with Wi-Fi 6E the stream quality is noticeably sharper.
For $200, this should be the best PS5 streaming device on the market. While the DualSense integration is nice, the shortcomings outweigh the benefits. I cannot recommend this product.

I really like this item. Holds well in the hands. Love the 1080p 8" screen. This is perfect when my kids want to watch TV and I want to play the PlayStation. I love it.

I almost rhought about returning this the first day cause lag was so bad and i thought with my wifi6 i was good. Once i swapped my ps5 over to ethernet from wifi the portal was a lot better. As a casual gamer dad i played my ps5 less often than i do now, maybe 2-4 hours a week. Just finding time to get the main tv to myself was always an issue. With the portal i find it a lot easier to just sneak in a game even if the tv is occupied by the kids. I get to still be present but can play my favorite games. I would totally recommend this for casual gamer parents with a few extra bucks to burn.

Perfect for gaming at home while the family uses the TV. The device is the perfect add on for the core ps5 gamer who has to share tv with the family or roommates. Big screen, full style controller with rumble and haptics, portable with good battery. The best experience is achieved by ensuring you have a great wifi router (don’t use the ones that come with your ISP, get a high quality router/mesh network) and your ps5 plugged in via Ethernet. This is will
Ensure minimal lag across your home.
It’s becoming my favorite way to play. Wife loves that I can play in the bedroom while she sleeps or watches tv. No negatives this far. Hope they make them in different colors!
