Ok for those who have little kids but want to play resident evil during the day and not at ungodly hours.

I've owned the portal for about a month now. I haven't turned on the TV my PS5 is connected to since then. Yes its that good and immersive. I played the whole game of ghosts of tsushima, now cyberpunk and some overwatch. Everything feels native as if there was a cartridge system like the switch. And the screen is the absolute perfect size and its absolutely beautiful! I've not have any network issues like I do with ps remote play on third party devices. As a father this has been such a joy yo have and I can play games in yhte same room where family likes to spend time at. totally worth it and a fine extension to the ps5

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.

I love the PlayStation portable. I definitely love the fact that you can take it anywhere with you. Or you need to set an internet connection. Play all the games from PlayStation in the world.

I read a lot of mixed reviews about not being able to stream your games without being on your home network…. I have been able to stream my games from anywhere with WiFi

The playstation portal is the best PS5 accessory. I haven't any problems with the connection is my home. Picture has been perfect. I just wish they gave the option of bluetooth.

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.

Great looking device, sleek, lightweight and looks amazing. Downsides would be it only has streaming services so you are at the mercy of your connection and lag/latency issues. No twitch shooters or frame perfect fighters on here

Works great! Love playing ps5 on the go. The PS portal originally sounded like a dumb purchase but I find myself reaching for it more often than the regular dualsense & tv play.

Overall, I think the portal gives a pretty good experience. It's great for people who want to game while the TV is occupied with something else, and want the full experience you get while playing directly on your PS5. The biggest surprise for me was that there's almost no lag. Even side by side with your TV, the difference is hardly noticeable. One of the biggest reasons I purchased was the ability to remote play on other wifi networks, and it definitely exceeded my expectations there. Again, there was almost no lag. Even playing 2k, where you have to time your shot well, I wasn't disrupted by lag at all despite my PS5 being over 100 miles away.

Great device! Using it around the house works seamlessly. Pairing to different WiFi spots is easy. The functionality of the controls works the same as the console. Only wish the thumb sticks were a bit bigger. Other than that great product to play your games while away or relaxing at the house.

The portal is exactly what was described. A streaming device that works off the PS5, however I was able to stream to my Steam deck with that same level of lag on my portal. It is completely unplayable without the ps5 wired to the router, which was a disappointment since my PS5 was upstairs. The controller is as amazing as a typical Dualsense 5 controller. Overall, this device is not a must have, but not entirely bad either.
