    I got this so I can continue playing games while someone else uses the main tv. works GREAT when on the same network as the PS5, basically no lag, very similar to the Wii U in that aspect. When I use a mobile 5G network there is some lag but still playable, I usually use this to play classic PS1 or PS2 games, I would not play competitively with this. its built perfect for casual gaming! I would recommend this to anyone who needs/wants to share the main TV with a friend, family member or significant other, they can watch their shows and you can keep playing your games in the same room with them. its fantastic

    Perfect Device For On The Go !

    The PlayStation Portal is a sleek, portable way to stream your PS5 games anywhere with strong Wi-Fi. Its crisp 8-inch screen and full DualSense controls feel premium. However, it lacks Bluetooth audio and only works via remote play—no cloud or native apps. Great for dedicated PS5 users seeking flexibility.

    Great product when it’s working! I had an initial issue with lagging and WiFi which seems to be sorted out through the most recent updates. Randomly now my right joystick isn’t working which also seems to be a known ongoing issue via Reddit. When it’s working though I’ve had lots of fun. As a dad of two young kids I just don’t have the time to turn on my console anymore. This has been nice because they can watch TV and I can casually game. Hopefully we can get this resolved through Sony.

    The screen is the perfect to size to make this portable but also comfortable to play. So far I have had no issues with connection to my PS5 for remote play and the beta of streaming games seems to work well also. The only thing I will say is the thumb sticks are a little smaller than on the controller but you can buy an attachment to make it feel more like the PS5 Dualsense. Overall great product.

    Pro= great to play on the go. Con= needs wifi or hotspot, disconnects is way to often, battery life is a few hours 4-5 hours. Hopefully they can fix this issues for the next gen

    I really love it a lot especially since I can play handheld and listen and watch football in the background. My only complaint is if you don’t have full bars on your Wi-Fi, like you go upstairs or to your garage, it gets a little laggy.

    I purchased the PlayStation Portal for my daughter's birthday, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer for her gaming experience. From the moment she opened it, she was thrilled with the sleek design and the promise of seamless gaming access. Setting up the device was straightforward, and within minutes, she was ready to start playing. The remote play feature works incredibly well, allowing her to stream her PS5 games directly to the Portal with minimal lag.

    I absolutely love this device. Sony hit it out of the park with the design. However, it was a rocky implementation at first. There was crazy lag and jittery jits you had to deal with occasionally. However, this has all changed after the 4.0 OS update. Not only has the delay been resolved (no more jittery jits) but now you dont even have to connect to your PS5/PS4. The portal can now stream cloud games. Sony is beta testing now and its awesome! Highly recommended buying.

    Bought as a gift for my hubby. He works on the go and has a ton of down time great for him to take on the go. Updates make it more worth it as well.

    I recently bought a console, but I travel for work and was disappointed that I wouldn’t get to use my console at home much. I was on the fence about this until the newest update came out for cloud streaming. This portal is AMAZING. The only downfall is having to pay for the PlayStation plus premium if you want to use it on the go and not have to worry about your console at home being in rest mode. I do love the fact that I can be using the portal and the console at the same time, as long as two accounts are being used.

    I love the portal. As long as you have decent internet connected to your PS5 and decent wifi wherever the portal is connected it works very well. I play 30 miles from home regularly with minimal lag even online gaming works with very little to no lag. And now that you don't even need a ps5 just a premium plus subscription makes this device all the better.
