Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was an ok purchase, but I had trouble getting access to the internet and can only use it at home. Which was no use to me.

Great for those nights when your significant other wants you to go to bed but you're not ready. I love it! Surprisingly smooth, and works great! I wouldn't play competitive shooters with it but it's great for single player games. Does require a pretty robust internet connection though.

I was hesitant at first because it is a remote player but it is really worth it! The input lag is barely noticeable and the fact it can remote play anywhere is nice. There is some frame rate drops if there is a lot happening on the screen but it isn't too bad. If you want to play PS5 but also want to go out or play anywhere else this is totally worth it.

It is like you are playing your ps5 on this display literally. It’s a mirror image of your setup. Specifically when you are on the same network as your ps5. I haven’t tried it outside of my network.

absolutely worth buying especially with inclusion of Playstation new soft ware update of cloud streaming of ps5 games

All I can say is that my 11year old grandson is extremely happy about this gift. He had no idea he was getting this item and for the price it was the Best Buy indeed. He immediately knew how to operate it as to where it would take me years lol.

Its a fantastic device for what it is. Just make sure you have solid internet where your PS5 is.

So definitely a great device for us gamer dads trying to get some playing time in, and all the kids are on the main tv.

This purchase was a great gift for my nephew! He loves it and all its features. Especially since he’s the type to love to play games on the go! 10/10 recommend purchasing for all the gamers out there!

My grandson LOVE this item, the best buy. I couldn't have pick a better gift for him. It's also perfect for on the go and keeps him busy and calm which helps me when I'm busy taking care of my situations.

I love this portal. I originally bought the white one and turned it back and got the midnight black one. I have no problems with internet connection. It doesn't lag for me. It's perfect for my everyday use around the house.

as a dad of 4 kids playing on the big screen it gets hard for me so i decide to buy the play station portal and it was worth my money i can play anywhere inside my house

I think it’s a great product. Was given to me as a birthday gift. It’s nice to be able to have my ps5 on the go. The one big complaint I have is your WiFi is a little shaky do not expect to connect to the ps5 very well. The cloud gaming feature still works good so streaming is a plus.

Was on the fence when purchasing this but I'm glad I did. It's definitely not for everyone. I'm not huge into handhleds, especially if it can be played on the big screen but when I want to play couch co op with the hubby and don't want to share a screen, this is a great alternative. I just connect to my ps5 and we play on one of our other screens with his ps5. Just $100 more than the backbone, it's definitely worth a try.

Amazing! It's nice to be able to play Battlefield 6 or Mortal Kombat in another part of the house while you're watching your parent recover from sickness, but don't want to leave tjeir side. It's also cool to be able to play games on the cloud, and the streaming while I'm in a hotel or airport in another state is smooth.

My Grandson loves it , you can play it where ever you go. It's so cool.

Love my portal. Works great and love being able to play it games on the go. Just have to make sure you have a good internet connection

Let me start off by saying that the portal in concept is awesome, but in my time with it i foujd that it did not live up to what i expected. I know this is technically a streaming device only and nothing gets played on the portal natively but i feel like i should not have had the experience i had with it with the internet speeds i have. I see people posting YouTube videos saying they can technically play the device anywhere as long as they have Wifi which definitely did not work for me. I brought it to a friends house and never connected to my ps5 that was in rest mode at home. And even my experience at home was not great i had to go in change a bunch of settings in my portal and my router settings to make it work just a little bit better. Even with what i looked up and changed it still wasnt the greatest experience. Sooo anyways when it works its mind blowing to play God of War on a handheld at 60fps buuut in most case the connection was so bad i would get disconnected mutliple times in a session when i was in the room NEXT to my router, didnt even work downstairs for me. So if you want something you can just turn on and play without having to think then this is probably not for you. I am returning mine after some weeks and opting to get the steam deck instead.

Firstly, the Playstation Portal isn't going to be for everybody. It's going to see the most use in situations where there are more than one person using a the television the PS5 is hooked up to. Secondly, the Portal performs best on a wifi network with a good, strong signal and nice high speeds. I have tested the Portal extensively while using my phone as a hotspot, and it works well enough to play something that isn't going to require a fast reaction time. As for the performance of the Portal and my own personal experience, I just couldn't be happier! I mostly use my Portal at home while my wife is using the television to play her Switch. Also when I'm relaxing in bed, that is an excellent time for the Portal to shine. The graphical fidelity is beautiful, great range of color on display, images comes through nice and sharp. Response time for the controls is almost without any lag at all, making gaming on this little gem a wonderful experience. Sound from the Portal is about what you'd expect from a portable device, it good enough. I picked up the Pulse Elite headset just to use with the Portal, glad I did. The Pulse Elite connects to the Portal without any dongles or extra hardware or anything, and it makes the audio experience VERY worth the price of the headset. If you get a Portal, get the Pulse Elite headset to go with it! Finally, the Playstation Portal is comfortable to use. It seemed like it was going to be a bit large at first, but after extended use I've found I can play for hours without any issues. Keep in mind this is on my home wifi network, which has very strong signal and very high speed. Even on my phone's hotspot, the Portal works well enough to play a lot of games, but I highly recommend using it on a good fast wifi.

I know there's alot of bad reviews but i can say my husband loves it. He was happy with his gift. Great graphics and the streaming makes it wonderful to play, no lagging. Would definitely recommend.
