Customer Ratings & Reviews

despite the discourse online before its release the portal took the industry by storm. i was able to get .ine before the holidays and was very much looking forward to playing my playstation on the go. so far im more than pleased with being able to play some old and so.e new games in a different way.

My spurge for the month. I’ve had my head down in textbooks the past few semester. I was finally able to come up for air and decided to reward myself. Perfect for ps5 on the go

Great product. Its a streaming device and with good signal it works perfectly.

Amazing image and gaming quality but is all dependant on the internet you have... be mindful you require connection to use this...

I recently purchased the PlayStation Portal from Best Buy as an open box item, and overall, it’s a solid addition to my gaming setup. The standout features for me are the controller feel and the screen size. The controllers are well-designed, comfortable, and responsive, providing an immersive gaming experience that matches the quality of a traditional PlayStation controller. The screen size is just right, making it easy to enjoy detailed graphics and gameplay without straining my eyes. However, it’s important to note that the graphics quality is highly dependent on your WiFi strength. When my connection is strong, the visuals are crisp and clear, enhancing the overall experience. But when the WiFi signal fluctuates, there’s a noticeable drop in graphic quality, which can be a bit frustrating. In summary, the PlayStation Portal is a great device for those who want to enjoy their PlayStation games on the go, provided they have a stable WiFi connection.

The PS5 Portal Black Edition is honestly pretty awesome if you already own a PlayStation 5 and want to play anywhere in the house without hogging the TV. It’s not a full-on handheld like a Switch, but it does what it’s made for really well.

Screen and graphics look amazing, definitely need a good wifi connection to play but overall a great buy

This is the perfect gift for all PS gamers!! Feels great in your hands! Screen is impeccable! Lightweight and so easy to use! Just set up remote play, search and sync to your console through WiFi, and it’s game on!! Perfect for when family is using tv!

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.

Works well with good internet. Able to play my games on the move

I brought this product before the hype and was never disappointed. Now with the support from Sony it the only handheld I use!!❤️

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!

I love my portal. Especially after they drop the beta stream games on it now. The screen on it is amazing easy to see super comfortable to play with for hours.

Nice build, works well. Handy for in-bed play sessions.

This thing is so cool! I can play while the kids hog the TV! Best purchase ever and worth every penny!

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 works great, we love it. Comfortable and easy to use

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

Works as it should, everything was included. I was glad I was able to get one open box in such great condition.

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.
