Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

Great for playing games around the house if you don't want to move your console or someone else is using the TV. Does take some getting used to playing on it but you get used to it quickly. I do really like how they have the controller handles compared to other handheld consoles. I think that's what separates this from others.

The streaming on this thing is much better than I had originally thought. When I first got it, it was dropping frame rate a little bit so I was a little concerned. Then I realized that my PS5 was not connected via Ethernet. Once I updated it, I haven’t had many issues since. Love it.

I bought this because I would like to be out of my bed when I am playing games. Pros: - very good for adventure, JRPG, casual games. -beautiful screen. LCD screen but good quality. I don't notice backlight bleed. cons: - not for fast paced games where reaction time is very important. - not recommended for FPS games, latency is okay, but you will feel it. -also, I don't recommend this to horror game fans. it is an LCD panel, so you'll notice greyish instead of deep black on dark scenes. ** you need a ps5 to play on this** **this accessory is for casual gamers** if you have extra money - buy this if you like single payer games and don't wanna be tied on your tv. or buy the ps5 edge controller if you're always playing FPS or any fast-paced games that rely on reaction time.

For those whining about this…I’m not sure it’s fair to judge this item based in what it DOESN’T do…I’m not sure that’s the point of a customer review. If i wanted a detailed level of analysis on what this product should or could be, I’d look up ign or cnet lol. With that said, this product does exactly what’s advertised. It’s a remote player for your ps5, best used around the house. It’s perfect for when my tv is being used or i want to get some gaming in while in bed or lounging elsewhere. The screen is beautiful and while yes, i have a Backbone, this works so seamlessly and automatically. The controller is solid and feels just loke a dualsense in your hand. Yes, you need a reliable internet connection that isn’t choppy lol. Trying to download or update something on your ps5 while using might also cause some lag. All in all, big ups to Sony and I recommend to all my fellow casual gamers that just don’t want to be stuck or restricted by their main tv’s. Hardcore gamers looking for a ps Vita replacement will be disappointed.

The PlayStation portal is a joy to own. It is a convenient device that allows me to enjoy my favorite PS5 titles in the palm of my hand. I love its sleek design, and its display is so gorgeous. It lets me wake my console from sleep mode, which is incredible, and I can't wait to play future titles on it! It

Great if you want to play PS5 games on the go. The controls are very comfortable and the screen looks great.

Been a while since I had handheld gaming device, and sony did right by the portal.

Love this thing . Especially now with cloud gaming

Love the product. Easy to use and connected to internet quick.

I've been on the fence about the PlayStation Portal since it was announced, but after picking one up from Best Buy, I can confidently say it's one of the best gaming accessories I've bought in a long time. This is a must-have for any PS5 owner who shares a TV or just wants to game without being tied to the screen.

Bought as a gift for my hubby. He works on the go and has a ton of down time great for him to take on the go. Updates make it more worth it as well.

When it works, it works phenomenally. Connectivity can be an issue at times but overall very nice product.

This makes gaming so much more convenient! The device looks and feels great, and really enhances the PS5 experience if you’re looking to enjoy your games in a different location from your usual setup. Glad I made the purchase and would recommend to anyone who might be on the fence.

This is possibly one of the best pieces of technology I’ve purchased in a long time. It works effortlessly to connect to my PS5 and allows me the flexibility to play the games I want anywhere in my home without having to move the console. I love playing on the big screen but with some games this sometimes causes motion sickness over prolonged periods of intense game play. The Portal allows me to play in between, and reduces that sense of motion sickness. The quality of the handheld is amazing, and the screen is big, bright, and gorgeous. The ergonomics of the grips are fantastic. It feels exactly like a Dualsense controller despite the added distance between the left and right grips due to the large screen. Battery life seems to be pretty normal, I have had no issues with it depleting faster than I need it to. The only improvement I could suggest is the placement of the USB-C charging port. It’s a little difficult getting it plugged in under the lip of the back of the device. It would be better suited to the top of the handheld so you don’t have to “dig” to get it in the port, and it would make it easier to charge while the device is still in use. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the Portal and I am excited to use it away from home when they bring game streaming out of beta. If you have been thinking about purchasing a Portal, do it. You will not regret it.

Purchased last month and the item works as expected

Quite convenient when needed. There are a few things that can improved like the input lag but overall it does what’s it’s supposed to do!

The device is a blast to use. I haven’t used the steaming part yet, but have played slot of my games. Takes a few minutes to connect but after the first time, it works great.

Bought as a Christmas gift and he hasn’t put it down since awesome buy.

Very fun addition for PS5 owners! It’s nice being able to use my TV for movies while still enjoying my favorite games on the couch! Would be great if Sony would make a standalone hand held, but this gets the job done for now. As always, bestbuy is great to work with.
