Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great handheld device. Just understand that you need good WiFi or hardwire your PS5 to your router via Ethernet to really see it shine in remote play. Cloud streaming with the top tier of Ps plus is a fantastic alternative, but you still want good WiFi for that as well.

I have so many good things to say about the Portal. I genuinely love it. For a handheld the graphics are fantastic. Most importantly, you can get your game on literally anywhere with wifi, which is basically everywhere these days. It feels great in your hand, the sound quality isn't perfect but you would be ridiculous to think it should be in a handheld. Easily worth the price, as a matter of fact you are getting a great value deal for $200. Buy it, seriously. You are doing a disservice to your gaming self and DEMOCRACY if you don't!!!

The portal is a must have for me so I can game away from home on trips, or when I want to play anywhere else away from home. The portal plays most of my games effortless with little to no lag. This a great purchase and don’t regret it one bit!

The PlayStation Portal is a gaming ecosystem that stands head and shoulders above its competitors, offering an unparalleled experience that sets it apart as the premier choice for gamers worldwide. As a dedicated PlayStation enthusiast, I've found the Portal to be not just a gaming console but a gateway to a world of entertainment and innovation that surpasses anything offered by its competitors. First and foremost, the PlayStation Portal boasts a stellar lineup of exclusive games that are second to none. From blockbuster franchises like God of War, Uncharted, and The Last of Us to innovative new titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man, the Portal offers a diverse and compelling library that caters to every type of gamer. These exclusives are not just games; they are experiences that showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of the industry's top developers, setting the PlayStation apart as the platform of choice for gaming excellence. The Portal's hardware is another area where it shines brightly. The PlayStation consoles are known for their cutting-edge technology, delivering breathtaking graphics, smooth performance, and innovative features that enhance the gaming experience. Whether it's the lightning-fast load times of the PlayStation 5's SSD or the immersive gameplay made possible by the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, the Portal's hardware is designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in gaming. The PlayStation Network (PSN) is yet another reason why the Portal reigns supreme in the gaming world. PSN offers a robust online multiplayer experience, a vast digital storefront with a wide selection of games, and a range of entertainment options including movies, TV shows, and music. The seamless integration of these features with the gaming experience makes PSN a comprehensive platform that caters to all aspects of entertainment, further cementing the PlayStation Portal's position as the ultimate gaming ecosystem. In comparison to its competitor, the Xbox, the PlayStation Portal stands out in several key areas. While both platforms offer strong gaming libraries, the PlayStation's exclusive titles are often cited as the defining factor that sets it apart. Additionally, the Portal's hardware innovations, such as the DualSense controller, offer a level of immersion and innovation that is unmatched by the Xbox. Furthermore, the PlayStation Network's seamless integration of gaming and entertainment content provides a more comprehensive experience than what is offered by Xbox Live. In conclusion, the PlayStation Portal is the epitome of gaming excellence, offering a combination of exclusive games, cutting-edge hardware, and a comprehensive online ecosystem that makes it the superior choice for gamers. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore enthusiast, the Portal provides an unmatched gaming experience that is truly deserving of its five-star rating.

I love the PSPortal. It makes gaming on the go easy. Not only is the controller hand-held comfortable and secure but the graphics and screen quality is out of this world. The latency is beautiful and remote gaming has little to no lag. Also the cloud gaming beta feature is a step in the right direction. Great game list. All in all this was a rightful purchase.

Love it great graphics long battery life big screen love it definitely recommended eorks only as good as your 9nternet is so fast internet is a plus

Are you in bed, feeling a little sleepy, but can’t resist the PS5 calling to you from the living room? Don't worry about disturbing anyone with the TV light—this device has got your back! As a dad, husband, and remote worker, I understand how tricky it can be to squeeze in gaming time. The PSR has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to enjoy my favorite games while the family is sound asleep, all without interrupting their peace. I find myself using it more often than I realize because I genuinely love its lightweight design and stunning screen. Here’s hoping for a PS5 Vita in the near future, as that would be an incredible addition! Great value and quality all around. Gamer Dad Approved!

PlayStation Portal remote play is a game-changer for gamers who want the to play their favorite games from anywhere (you need WiFi connection) seamless connection between your console and device allows for high-quality gameplay without any lag (if you have high speed Internet). The user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and the customization options enhance the gaming experience. I highly recommend PlayStation Portal remote play for gamers looking to take their gaming experience to the next level.

I was originally skeptical about it, because i had already tried the remote play features with my phone and tablet, and thought it was decent enough but the delay and lag was annoying. With this thing, as long as you have good internet and wifi, it actually does way better than i imagined it would. 200 bucks for a big screen and actual playstation controller grips, i will promote this thing anyday. I only wish i could upload a video to show the lack of delay and how responsive it is.

Great handheld device that allows gaming on the go. Very comfortable in hand and it’s lightweight

Got this for my 12 year-old for Christmas. He set it up all by himself using his PS4 account. As long as you have the Playstation subscription and WiFi, it works great!!! It even comes with a few Playstation classics, like Twisted Metal 3!!! Insane, I know!!! Reminded me of the old Sega Game Gear, but with a lot better graphics. LoL. Highly recommend for the casual gamer.

The device is a nice alternative to remote play for anyone that travels a lot or that have others in the house that might need to have the tv, although there are some issues connecting to hotel wi-fi, but with the recent update some of the issues should get fixed. It works really well with my cell phone hot spot on 5g network with some stuttering it feels comfortable on your hands. Definitely a nice accessory for gaming on the go if wi-fi is available and reliable.

Great for trips and long car rides (as long as you have a hotspot) Great battery life and comfortability

As a parent who has family members occupying the tv this is the best investment I have made. Also with the portals latest firmware update the picture quality and latency has gotten even better through my experience

I love this thing. I think its priced great for the quality. I do have some connectivity issues occasionally, but I think I need to buy a WiFi extendor for my basement as the PS5 is pretty far from our router. All in all it has worked great.. I probably have more screen time on this thing than my actual PS5 that's hooked up on the big screen downstairs.. the portability and convenience makes it way easier for me to actually chill and play at the end of the night.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the Portal at first, when I realized that this device was just for remote play and not one for streaming games or the like. But I quickly found myself really enjoying using it. The screen is awesome and great quality and the controls work wonderfully. I’ve been playing my PS5 so much more thanks to the Portal. That being said, you really do need to make sure you have access to great wi-fi or it won’t work at all. So, no playing on hotel wi-fi or at the coffeeshop, unfortunately.

This is my own review as a normal consumer. From the moment this was announced, I had no interest in it. I already own a Ps Vita and love it, but I wanted to be able to play my PlayStation anywhere, anytime. I couldn’t get to stream it on my Vita so the portal begun to make more sense to me and my needs. After watching so many reviews, good and bad, I decided to pre order it but ended up cancelling it. They release it and more reviews came in, a good mix of it, everyone was worry about using cellular and how good would it be not being close enough of the console. I decided to still get one but it was too late, it was sold out everywhere and scalpers were re selling for $500 bucks so I waited it out using HotStock and managed to get one off BB, and my first impression was, “wow this feels good”, plus the screen is amazing. It feels like a portal PlayStation, especially with the dual sense triggers, and feedback. Connection wise was a bit weird at first but I managed to connect to my 5G internet, and made sure my PlayStation was connected to the same network, also tried LAN and works but it kept getting disconnected for some reason, possibly my Ethernet cable is bad but I decided to go back to WiFi and once I connected both to the same network, I haven’t had any issues. I also learn to unplug the hdmi off my monitor and made my experience so much better. I have also tried using my hotspot on my phone, it works just the same, it starts a little slower but it smooths up as it goes on. It also depends how fast of a hotspot you have and if your phone isn’t downloading anything. I stopped playing multiplayer games so I have no experience on it aside playing Cold War zombies which works great. I mainly play the show 23, and single players. I recommend this to anyone interested in playing their PlayStation anywhere, anyplace, AS LONG you have a decent connection. That’s my honest opinion. I wouldn’t give up on a scalper but if you’re truly desperate to get one, I still wouldn’t. Sony will bring more in stock, just gotta keep waiting it out. Scalpers already losing money, they’re dropping prices down to $250.

The PlayStation Portal has been a great experience so far. The screen looks sharp, controls feel just like a real DualSense controller, and the Midnight Black color looks amazing in person. It’s very comfortable for long gaming sessions and perfect for playing around the house without using the TV. Setup was simple and performance has been smooth with a stable connection. Definitely recommended for PS5 owners.

The portal works great, not expensive and looks amazing. I got the black one and it is so sleek.

Was skeptical about buying the PlayStation portal because all the reviews I saw online , I decided to give it a try & it surprised me on how well it performs , The PlayStation Portal Works Really Well for online games! I recommend having a stable internet connection at home , to prevent any lagging and have a smooth gaming experience.
