Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an amazing device. I am playing anywhere. I used this last month a lot.

Title says it all. I really use this way more than I use my PlayStation alone. So glad I bought it.

I love this thing so much. I can play games anywhere.

Awesome device especially when you upgrade to the more expensive playstation just wish it was a little more durable only had it for about 5 months of actual use and my son used it and gave it stick drift.

Really clutch and all the new updates for it have made it better

Great handling, awesome graphics. Love the display. Difficult to play when not in same network. Needs port forwarding to play remotely and if the connection is not strong it is extremely glitchy and the quality of the image greatly diminishes

its excellent towherever i go i play outside anytime anywhere, battery is excellent no heavy easy handle love it

This thing is great. I have kids so they are most of the time watching movies or playing their own games. With the portal I can just let my kids do their own thing and be able to play some games while in bed or on the couch. Sometimes even at work.

I've had my Playstation portal for about 2 months now, and it is amazing with a few hiccups. The games look and run beautiful for the most part if you have a stable wifi connection but playing multi-player games is a bit awkward.

Easily navigable fun to use and really brings the game to you

The PlayStation Portal is a unique device that aims to bring the full PS5 experience to your hands. It's not a standalone console, but rather a dedicated streaming device that relies on your PS5 for processing power. So, how does it hold up? Let's dive in. Positives: Portability: This is the Portal's biggest strength. Playing demanding PS5 games on a large, comfortable screen anywhere in your home or even on the go is a truly liberating experience. Streaming Performance: Remote Play works surprisingly well, with minimal lag and latency even on strong Wi-Fi connections. The visual quality is impressive, often indistinguishable from playing directly on the PS5. Controller Integration: The built-in DualSense controller feels fantastic, with all the bells and whistles like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers intact. It's a seamless transition from the standard PS5 controller. PS Plus and Premium Integration: Accessing your PS Plus and Premium library is easy and convenient, opening up a vast library of games directly from the Portal. Negatives: Limited Functionality: The Portal is purely for streaming PS5 games. It can't access other apps, media services, or even basic functions like web browsing. This feels like a missed opportunity for a more versatile device. Wi-Fi Dependence: Your entire experience hinges on a good internet connection. Even a slight dip in Wi-Fi quality can lead to lag and stuttering, making it impractical for offline use. Lack of Bluetooth Audio: Surprisingly, the Portal doesn't support Bluetooth headphones, forcing you to use the built-in speakers or a wired headset. This feels like a major oversight for a device focused on portability and convenience. Price: At $200, the Portal isn't exactly cheap, especially considering its limitations. This might make it a tough sell for casual gamers or those who already own a good tablet or phone for Remote Play. Overall: The PlayStation Portal is a technically impressive device that delivers the core PS5 experience on a portable screen. However, its limited functionality, Wi-Fi dependence, and lack of certain features like Bluetooth audio hold it back from being a truly must-have. If you're a dedicated PS5 player who values portability and have a strong internet connection, the Portal is worth considering. But for others, it might be worth waiting for a more versatile and feature-rich iteration in the future.

Definitely a must get item. Very convenient when going away for work or long family trips. Never had an issue with the PlayStation Portable

I use this in the house when the kids are playing or when I’m at work I do lose connection from time to time but it does work

This device is AMAZING. Literal game changer (for people like me). If your tv is in use constantly by other family members, this is perfect for you! For me, I actually prefer playing on handhelds vs big screen tvs, not sure why, they make me tired really quick. Connection is perfectly fine in house, no issues, and no issues connecting to my hotspot and playing that way as well (using t-mobile). Not to mention, I had 2 ps5s in the home before I got this, and I am able to connect to either one to play the games, I love it! I now game on this more than the tv and it is by CHOICE!

Used for vaction and worked amazing as long as you have good wifi it works great.

Customer service was great when ordering the portal, delivery was available to me at purchase and pick up fast. My kid enjoys the portal when away from home and while his roaming around the house.

Great product for an open box team. A+++++++++++++

I was suprise how well it plays. While i remote play from my PS5 PRO or stream from the cloud is awesome especially when im coming home from a hard day at work. I get to play while laying in bed comfortable and get ready to sleep for my next shift.

Was skeptical about buying this since it’s just for remote play but ive actually really enjoyed using it. When i dont want to sit down and play at my desk i just use this in bed or on the couch. I will say you need good wifi or itll get pixelated. The build quality feels very good!

I've had a PS5 for years, and have recently started traveling a lot more. I really wanted to be able to still play some games, while sitting in airports, hotels, etc, and lugging around a PS5 isn't really an option. I didn't even realize the Portal existed, and was thrilled when I learned about it. I picked one up from Best Buy, and it arrived pretty quickly later. Turning it on, the quality and built is well in-line with what I'd expect from Sony. I connected to my home wifi, and then input my Playstation ID. I made sure remote play was enabled on the PS5, and we were quickly in business. Man, do I love being able to play on this thing! The controls feel just right at home as if I was playing my PS5. The screen is great. Nice and bright, and does a good job for a portable device. While Sony does market this for just largely using at home, I read about being able to use it remotely. Thankfully, I've also had great success with being able to do that too! We have a Comcast connection, and I've been able to connect to various wifi networks and be able to largely do this just fine. There have been the occasional time when it lagged so much that I wasn't even able to play remotely, but restarting the PS5 seems to usually do the trick for fixing that. I've been very happy with my Portal, and am sure glad Sony put this product out!
