I've waited for the release of this item and was a little disappointed that it wasn't "stand alone" enabled..But Sony has taken care of that and it now is.. Great gaming device!

If you have a PS5, go for it! It’s awesome. If you don’t and are interested in it due to the ability to stream games from the cloud without a Ps5, just know it’s only their curated catalogue of games similar to GamePass with an upper end PSN subscription, except the games suck a lot more with mostly ancient niche titles.

It’s a very fun handheld device for the PS5. I found myself playing my games more because I could be anywhere to play as long as I have a reliable WiFi connection. I did noticed that FPS games doesn’t run as well on it but all other games I’ve played in different genres works great. Definitely a must-buy if you like playing games in another room than where your console is.

It is laggy if you have a bad wifi signal make sure your PS5 is plugged in with a lan cable and change your settings to 1080p on the PS5 for remote play.
It needs an update so you can watch movies saved on your PS5 plus it would be nice if you could use you own wireless headsets instead of the PlayStation ones.

Amazing purchase this gets used daily !!! My boyfriend loves it and it allows him more play time since he can play in bed vs having to sit at his desk and play!

The Portal is a great little device, even at home. Since mine arrived in early February, I’ve completed two long games because I can pick it up & play at any time. If I want to keep an eye on sports on the TV, I can still complete sidequests in big non-linear games. I can lay on the couch or in bed and play. If I go out of town for work, I can connect to hotel wifi and keep playing.
Now there are caveats, of course. There is an expected and understandable lag which means it’s not ideal for something like, say, online fighting games. If your wifi signal is weak or goes out, you’ll also experience stuttering or a disconnect, though thankfully you won’t necessarily lose game progress unless your PS5 loses power as well.
For me, I’ve found it invaluable in completing games like Yakuza that have loads of content, since I can play a little bit here and there without needing to be tethered to my big TV and AV setup. It’s never going to replace such a thing as the preferable way to play, but it makes a great companion.
It’s even fairly comfortable to hold for long periods, since it’s just a screen wedged between a DualSense controller. The additional weight is noticeable, but I’ve spent 5-6 hours playing at a time and never felt any serious discomfort a little 5 minute break couldn’t fix.

Love my portal! The cloud gaming update is great! It’s given me the ability to play my favorite games in bed which has allowed me the opportunity to finally get to complete some games I otherwise couldn’t get around to completing. Screen quality is good, the remote feels just like the dual sense although the sticks might be marginally smaller. The stream quality is great, I have decent internet so I don’t have really any issues apart from the occasional quick lag spike which is maybe once every 2 hours. Wish we had the ability to hook up any Bluetooth headset ,but you can get a Bluetooth 3.5mm headset dongle and that solves that issue, if they update that I’ll change my review to 5 stars but for now I have to give it a 4 star.

This PS Portal does exactly what it was intended to do. It works amazing and I love how it lights up blue and different colors. I just wish there were more accessories for it, rather than the cheap garbage on Amazon. They can’t even spell the words correctly on the description, that tells you how bad it is. I know people aren’t a fan of the PS Link setup, but it actually works amazingly well.
