The only thing I dislike about this product is you really need a strong internet for it to work

This device was. Represented badly or people don’t take the time to read carefully. This was never meant to be any but what it’s meant to be. This portal is amazing in every way as long as you have a great connection. Recommended to used of you have to two option on WiFi to use the 5GHz option. Make sure you ps5 is connected to the same one as well or even better to use Ethernet. No laughs runs smoothly. Still get the hiccups but minor

Very cool, the graphics surprised me. Not sure if the battery holds for 12 hours but i recommend it. Btw it is prone to stick drift so get it with insurance.

I do not mind that it is only remote play, I only game at home - this is the main complaint I have heard from peiple, that it doesnt play games natively. Remote play works great with my PS5 ethernet plugged into a wireless extension plugin. Makes it easy to get some gaming in with others in the house using the TV. Hopefully this becomes more available for people to buy and also some colored versions!

I got this so that i can play while my wife watches her programming on TV. I can play from any room in the APT.
I love the large vibrant screen. Fits nicely in my hands. Pairing to my PS5 console was easy. NO COmplaints.

This has been a game changer for me. I never had time to game. Always entertaining kids. The has given me a chance to get a game in here or there when I have a minute. Connection is great and controls are smooth! Great buy!

I was skeptical on the need for this since I’ve never used remote play. But with a little man who likes to play spiderman at all times I’m now able to have him use the portal while freeing up the living room tv. I hate that it lacks Bluetooth but overall I’ve had zero issues with connecting and using. I’ve even tried it on the WiFi where I worked and it played flawlessly. This wasn’t needed but I’m glad I got it.

I have found this great for being able game from different areas of the house. The switch has been a big win for me because of the mobility, this gives the same experience bit with the ability to play games from my PS library. Big win in my book!

This product does as advertised. Unfortunately, I dont have access ro connect my PS5 via Ethernet so theres stability issues at peak hours. I pay for about 500 GB a month. However i have more than 30 products connected via WiFi in the home. I've noticed I get better connectivity early in the morning and late at night.

The playstation portal is a must have for extreme gamers. This isnt a stand alone console, meaning you do have to own a ps5. This device allows you to play all the games you have on playstation while on supported wifi. I play my playstation at work and anywhere else i can. My 8 year old also enjpys this when were out or if im using the tv to watch sports. The battery life on this playstation portal is excellent.

I bought the PlayStation Portal thinking multiple people could use the PlayStation at the same time. I later found out that only one person can use the PS5 if you are streaming directly from it, which I should have researched before buying. The Portal can still be used if you have a PlayStation Plus Premium membership, since it allows you to stream games directly from the cloud without connecting to your PS5. But for that, you need a strong and stable internet connection, otherwise the experience is frustrating. Even though I had more than a decent internet connection, I experienced lower fps, reduced resolution, and constant lagging. On the positive side, the ergonomics are excellent and the Portal is relatively affordable compared to other handheld gaming devices. I ended up returning mine because I could not play the games I already owned, which was the main reason I bought it, and the cloud gaming option never provided a smooth or reliable experience.
