absolutely love, lightweight great screen easy to understand

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.

Made my boyfriend extremely happy! Great for traveling, especially to see family. He used to take the whole console and now he can play all his favorites from far away. Pretty amazing!

Works great never had a problem. Connects every time without a problem as long as the WiFi is decent.

I purchased this to play from the comfort of my bed when I don’t wanna be sitting next to my TV screen. So long as you have a strong Internet connection you will have no issues with game drops or graphics dropping resolution. If you are using this at home, you can use your Bluetooth gaming headset since they are connected to the PlayStation five. You can take this with you and use it with your hotspot but just know that I timed my hotspot data usage with this and saw that in 45 minutes of playing call of duty I burned through 5 GB of hotspot. You cannot use any Bluetooth device with this if you’re outside of the home however it does have the earphone jack and most gaming headsets have a headphone auxiliary connection. Do not listen to false reviews of people who do not own one. Those reviews are just speculation and assumptions. you can take this out of the house. The only thing you need to do is have the PlayStation on rest mode at all times otherwise you will not be able to turn it on remotely if your PlayStation is completely turned off which is OK with me since I like to leave it on rest mode at all times to download any updates that are available. Overall, I believe this is a good handheld device. If you do not want to be sitting in front of your TV screen or want to go anywhere outside of your home that has a solid Wi-Fi connection. This will work for you. If your phone plan has a lot of gigabytes of data for hotspot it will work for you too. I like this device a lot when setting it up I was a bit scared as the resolution looked pretty bad, but took a few minutes to go from 420 to 1080 P during initial set up. i never had any issues since. Trust me just purchase one you want regret it at 200 bucks this is a gaming device.

Works great as long as the internet is reliable! I love being able to not take the tv for some of my games. I work on a computer screen all day and needed a mobile option that wasn’t pc

Allows me to continue playing my games, even when someone else is using my television. Super clear display.

It is extremely useful. It is a remote play so PS5 is needed to remotely access, but it connects better than any other device used for remote playing. The display is crystal clear and it keeps the viauals of the conaole so if used with a PS5 Pro it will look just as good. It also has a fearure to stream games directly from PS plus cloud.

Good purchase and elegant device! It works good and i can play abroad now!

This is worth every penny! The quality is great, its travel size but yet big enough as if im playing on a tv.

Such a great product! Sony once again delivers! 1080 p sounds about right.

After many months I was finally able to the Portal! This thing is awesome. It's so nice being able to play my games anywhere around the house now. It works flawlessly & it's a great addition to your PS5 setup.

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers a satisfactory streaming experience for PlayStation catalog titles; however, its functionality is unreliable when attempting to stream games directly from a PS5 console. The root cause, whether hardware or software-related, remains undetermined, as connection attempts frequently yield inconsistent results irrespective of network conditions.

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.

After making a few adjustments! My portal runs great!

Like the portal. Don’t use it as much as I thought I would but it is nice for when you’re on the go. Don’t like how it won’t turn your console on only wakes it from rest mode. Overall pretty good tho.

"Portable PlayStation fun, smooth remote gameplay!"

Absolutely love the portal it works perfect with my ps5 pro. Just make sure there's a great wifi connection and you can play anywhere! (Also if you don't have a PS5 to remote play, you can use your PlayStation plus premium account and stream games over the cloud.) My experience buying through best buy is easy and the workers are knowledgeable, easy find easy check-out.

Great for playing most games over wifi but not so great playing higher AAA titles. The higher end games like cyberpunk 2077 have buffering issues but stray plays great

I had no issues playing with my Portal. It connected easily and stayed connected. My home wifi is pretty good though and i read reviews with people claiming they cant connect or it doesnt stream well. Those people almost scared me away from buying this. Im glad i didnt listen. The screen is much bigger than my phone and so light and comfortable to hold. Im a dad and while my kids use the tv i can use this and still game. Currently i played Diablo 4 on it and even used the microphone on it to talk to my buddies while i played. It worked really well. Like a portable PS5. I do wish we can use any headphones, i do with i could pair my phone. I do wish we had internet browsing on this and i do wish it was an OLED. But i dont regret buying it at all.
