This is a beautiful PS5 companion device for gaming!! I admit, it was a challenge out of the box. But when you take steps to improve WIFi signal stregth and a few twaeks of PS5 settings, It takes casual gaming to another level. Great investment!!!

It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. On good Internet, the picture quality is actually really good little to no lag, is actually a really great accessory for someone who doesn’t want to be in front of the TV all the time

The PlayStation Portal is perfect for playing your PlayStation 5 on the go. I travel a lot and being able to access the PS Library or remote into your PlayStation 5 to play all your games is more than I could ask for! All you need is a decent internet connection and the video and audio comes out crisp and high quality. Perfect for relationships as well! This way your significant other can use the tv for what they want to do, and you can use your Portal to play your games. It’s a win-win!

works amazing on using private WiFi and nice to be able to play anywhere that is comfortable and not just at your PlayStation set up.
With the most recent update I am to connect to remote play on my mobile hotspot or public WiFi but I did not have the smoothest streaming experience. Lots of lag and experienced a lot of deaths in Warzone lol.
Cons: when I first bought the portal it was before this most recent update and I could not connect to remote play on mobile hotspot or public WiFi. Did some Reddit research bought a travel router off Amazon to accept terms and conditions from public WiFi pages and the portal doesn’t have this built in which prevents you from connecting to the internet properly.

It is gorgeous, the sony's high quality is there and it is awesome to play on it. I had the oportunity to play in a house with 500mb internet speed and also in another with 2gb and i can tell, this is a critical utem to keep in mind, on the 2gb speed the game played smoothly, 0% lag/buffering , etc. But also it is sad you need to have your ps5 on to play, kind of expensive luxury. If you have many tvs probably you dont need this gadget. But if you have only 1 tv and nleed to share with other family members welll then you should give a try.

Good screen and hardware, the battery lasts for quite some time and an extremely high-quality 8" LCD screen. It's a full DualSense integration (haptics, mic, motion) which is very familiar sense you have to have a PS5 to use this device

A luxury device to have if you have stable internet, Disclaimer connect the LAN cord anytime you lr streaming your game. The cloud streaming works fine either way.

I knew what to expect when buying it and its limitations especially when it comes to Media, web browsing, no Bluetooth, (i wasn’t disappointed) i dont travel with it. Pretty much use when my kids on the TV or wife wants me to come to bed.

Awesome idea and fits my use case perfectly. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work well enough to recommend. Even when using gig-speed internet while wired to PS5 and sitting right next to the router, it has unplayable stutter. Sometimes, the lag is so bad that I can't even navigate the PS menu or play a game. Sometimes it doesn't even connect. So disappointing. I've heard that there may be variance in performance between units. Maybe I just got a bad one.

If you have minimum 15mb upload speed and follow these guidelines, you'll love the Portal. Obviously your PS5 has to be WIRED, No wifi. Sadly, but hopefully something Sony will fix with an update. You have to set your PS5 resolution to 1080p, and either unplug the HDMI from it or play with the tv off. Not ideal i know, but it's worth it. If you have another tv other than the living room, which less ppl/only you use. I recommend hooking up your PS5 to that one, since the Portal connects through wifi and not the console. Please pass these tips on to other interested parties, before recommending the Portal...

Great device to play games on when you are not near your PS5. I have found that is still works really well with your PS5 is your WiFi signal is really strong on your PS5.
