You don't need a PlayStation 5 to use this portable station. You can purchase the PS premium yearly pass and stream games via Wi-Fi. Zero lag, and it runs smoothly.

Absolutely love the playstation portal, When there is great wifi it works like a dream, just need to figure out how to keep my ps5 on from time to time. Still no complaints, a definite great purchase

I really enjoy using the portal. Its incredible to play PS5 games on the go and now with the remote access to some ps5 games without the console its even better.

As I've moved into the next stage of life (fatherhood) I was looking for a product that would still allow for me to game from time to time with the limited personal time I have. The Playstation Portal is the exact product I was hoping for! Easy to setup, online play was smooth, and a great travel companion no matter where you are traveling. So far extremely happy with the product!

This thing is AWESOME !!! As long as you have good WiFi it’s perfect. Even can play games like CALL OF DUty WARZONE. Literally mirrors your ps5 as long as you leave it in rest mode

While this item does exactly what it says it does, I’ve experienced some problems with connectivity. Most of the time it gets resolved by resetting the ps portal, but it’s kind of annoying having to do that every time I wanna use it.

I play the ps5 and games more often, since i dont have to be in the same room. I do wish it had bluetooth and a way to store games. Other then that its been a great buy

The best thing , you can chill in bed while playing and take it in the go which is even better. If you get a WiFi box from your phone provider it works perfect together. Definitely recommend !

I bought this as an impulse buy, Silent hill 2 was coming out while I had to work, I wanted to play it without it being spoiled, so I bought the portal to play while I was at work. Unfortunately, the PlayStation portal is not what I was hoping for. I was expecting a handheld that could play games properly, while only lagging occasionally. What I actually got, is a handheld that can't do much outside of your house.
It would lag consistently during any play session, it didn't matter what I played, could be playing anything from a night in the woods, to re4 and I would lag the whole time. The quality of the screen is good, but it doesn't matter when the portal can't play anything above 720 p. And on top of that, the audio is always crackling and popping, never once have I had the audio playing properly.
The hardware itself is nice, the controllers feel good to hold and don't cramp my hands like the Switch's joy cons. The screen looks very good (when it works) and it has an audio jack which is a very underrated feature.
Overall, the hardware is flawless, I can't really think of anything negative when it comes to that. However, it does not matter if the product does not work properly, and this does not. Maybe in 5 or 10 years when I can play games without any lag, maybe it would be worth it. As it is, it's not worth 100$, let alone 200$.

Youll need a good Wifi connection to have a amazing experience. Otherwise you may feel that it is unusable. Fortunately I have a decent connection and its be good so far. Huge advantage is controller and the haptic feedback. More seamless connection rather than remote play on another device. If you can get your hands on it, give it a try!

This is an interesting concept, but one that doesn’t seem like was taken to the point of perfection. There are a lot of hiccups with this system. After you get it set up (a time-consuming process considering the updates you have to do), you then have to know to go in to your PS5 and turn on “allow remote play” and “stay connected to the internet” in order for this to work. There’s really no directions for all of this—I had to Google troubleshooting measures to figure this out. Once you finally get it all set up, things work OK most of the time. However, every so often, the picture will momentarily scramble and freeze, and if you’re at a critical point in your game, it can really mess up your gameplay. I have the highest speed internet my cable system offers, so it’s not a problem with my connection. It just sort of feels like this went to market when it was “almost” ready for release. When it’s working, it works well, but If these freeze-ups are causing me lives in my game, I’d rather just wait and play on my PS5 and large monitor.
