    Amazing. It’s almost as if I have two PS5s. With the recent update that Sony added you now can stream PS5 games with PS Plus Premium membership. I’ve yet to have any lag with my 5G internet in my apartment. It’s well worth the 17.99 a month because they are adding more & more games to the line up which already contains like 100 or so games. You have PS3 games, PS2, just a crazy catalog. It’s nice to be able to lay in bed & play my games & still watch tv etc. The Switch finally has a bit of competition with this. I can’t imagine what the next handheld from Sony will be like. This is definitely a beta for something bigger to come, & with this update it is well worth your 199.99 + tax.

    Wasnt sure about getting it after seeing reviews and used ones for sale. Peole have the wrong idea about how these works! It is not a game system by itself, it is just remote play and BETA cloud streaming! Plenty games to choose from on the beta to keep you entertained. Great for gaming away from home, at home, work, anywhere!

    Works great as long as your internet signal is strong. PS5 being connected via Ethernet substantially improves gaming.

    Great once set up. I'd give it 5 stars if the directions were better for linking it to your wifi. Make sure you use the 5ghz channel of your router and remove any other devices from that channel and it runs very smooth.

    It’s a nice device. Works really good with a decent internet connection. The screen is so much bigger vs a iPhone and you can see much more detail in games you’re playing. The battery lasts a decent amount of time. Remote is great if others wanna watch the tv

    This device is decent when it works. I did my research before buying it and after so many reviews on YouTube I understood I was taking a gamble. This device will work well or not at all depending on your WiFi. You might need to consider purchasing a device to amplify your WiFi connection if there are other people in your home streaming or just using the WiFi in general. As far as ease of use this device is pretty self explanatory and it doesn’t have many options for optimizing performance. I have seen some reviews about people taking it on trips and to different places but this device is not a Legion go or any other type of handheld that acts as a mini computer or even a small portable console like a Nintendo switch. For all of those hoping to use this device and have 0 issues especially when using it outside your home, BEWARE. The signal would drop from time to time and it would log me out. There is also a stutter that occurred from time to time but it’s alright for story mode games. For competitive online shooters like Fortnite and MWW it is HORRIBLE. Very laggy. This product is made for a very specific audience like myself who has kids. This is perfect to have around the house when the family is occupying the TV or computer. It is definitely overpriced for what it is. If this device was closer to $99 I would’ve understood. Also in regards for audio I would give it a 5/10. The sound isn’t very clear without any type of headphones. That being said another thing to consider. I have the Sony buds and the portal will not connect to those. I have to connect them to my PS5 and then mute the portal and the sound form the ps5 will continue into the buds. Overall I ended up returning this device after about a month. Wasn’t terrible but not worth the money with all the headaches that it brings.

    Had a trip to Orlando and took it and it was amazing it was functioning well and had no problems with the connection. I recommended leaving your ps5 on rest mode that way if you have the ps app you can turn it on anywhere your at and could use your ps portal.

    The Ultimate Remote Play Device for PS5 Fans

    I was honestly surprised by how smooth and responsive the PS5 Portal is. The display is crisp, controls feel just like the DualSense, and the setup was super simple. As long as you have a strong Wi-Fi connection, this thing runs flawlessly. I can keep gaming even when the TV is in use, and it’s perfect for relaxing on the couch or playing in bed. Definitely worth it if you’re deep in the PlayStation ecosystem.

    Great for what it is. Nice to be able to play my PS5 games while the kid watches Monster Jam. Make sure your PS5 is hard wired to your router. Also turn off HDMI-CEC so waking your PS5 doesn’t turn on your TV when connecting with the Portal. COD is playable online when on the same router with minimal input lag, input lag is greater when playing remotely thru WiFi, like at a hotel. Get a skin, case and screen protector! You can’t stream media, only play cloud games or games on your PS5.

    I picked up the PlayStation Portal for myself after realizing the TV in my house is permanently claimed by my three kids. This thing has been a lifesaver. Setup was quick, and once it synced to my PS5, I was gaming from the couch, the backyard, or wherever I could grab a little peace and quiet. The screen looks great, the controls feel just like the DualSense, and it’s surprisingly comfortable to use for long sessions. Every now and then, it’ll lose connection to the PS5 or the image will get a bit pixelated, but it always reconnects quickly and keeps going strong. If you’ve got a full house and still want to squeeze in some gaming time without fighting over the TV, this little device is a game-changer.

    The perfect accessory for a PlayStation Fan with loose bowel , and /or a needy wife .. now when she begs me to come to bed , I just go , but bring the portal.. so now she has company and I can play helldivers 2 .. happy spouse , happy house.. Tho it IS NOT A Portable PlayStation .. just a controller connected to a WiFi enabled oled remote screen .. so only useful if you want to play in a WiFi 6 environment , It has very specific uses , and it fits perfect into my needs.. if you ever find your self at home and want to play ps5 but be free to sit anywhere your WiFi covers , then I highly recommend At the same price as the PlayStation edge controller , which has a pitiful battery . I find this a far more useful peripheral.. all around ..

    Originally, it was a remote play device, but with a recent update, it allows you to stream games from Sony (with a premium subscription), which is pretty cool. The games catalog is quite extensive, featuring some top titles. Unfortunately, I found myself not playing it much because the latency that was occasionally noticeable, and the quality would drop. Even when it worked well, I had to stay fairly close to my router, and even then there were occasional hiccups. Maybe my internet wasn’t good enough (500 Mbps).
