Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely love the PlayStation Portal! Setup was quick and intuitive, and the remote play connection works surprisingly well—even on Wi-Fi. The 8-inch LCD screen is crisp and vibrant, and the controls feel just like a DualSense controller. Perfect for when the main TV is in use or for gaming around the house. Battery life is decent, and there's no noticeable input lag when the network is stable. Highly recommend for any PS5 owner who wants flexibility and portability!

This is perfect for in the go gaming. If you go to a friend's house and want to play fornite with them, it's easier to bring this instead of lugging your whole PS5. It's really convenient and I don't notice any lag with decent wifi. The battery life is really good and the screen quality is great too!

The PS Portal is an excellent product that exceeded my expectations. It is made with premium materials and feels very solid and durable in the hands. The battery life is quite reasonable for its performance, lasting long enough for extended gaming sessions. As long as you have a strong and stable internet connection, the PS Portal functions smoothly and provides an impressive remote play experience. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to any PlayStation owner looking for a high-quality way to play on the go.

I usually play games on my PC because im lazy to go use my console. Enter PS Portal. This is veet comfortable to hold, and the size of the screen makes it easy on the eyes. Battery life is solid (i usually play plugged in though). Now im able to play on the couch while my fiancee watches tv. With the ps5 hardwired, i noticed verrry little to no latency with the portal. Im still able to plah games like Clair Obscur and GT7 without issue. I took the portal out of state and was still able to play (had a solid wifi connection at the other place).

A Must-Have for PS5 Owners! I absolutely love the PlayStation Portal. It guve you that ergonomic feel just like using a DualSense controller, but adds a beautiful 8-inch screen in the middle. The picture is crisp, and the controls are relatively responsive as long as you have strong Wi-Fi. If so the experience is smooth and almost lag-free with a few hiccups here and there. It’s perfect for playing when someone else is using the TV or when I just want to game from bed or the patio. Setup was super easy and the battery lasts for about 6 ish hours. Unfortunately it’s not a standalone device so no native apps like Netflix or Youtube—you need a PS5 and it doesn’t support Bluetooth headphones just the PS Link headphoes or wired through the 3.5mm jack on the bottom—but for remote play, it delivers exactly what I hoped for. If you’re a PS5 owner who wants more flexibility in how and where you play, this is totally worth it!

A lot of people on various Reddits and over the internet in general said this thing was stupid and pointless but I was still interested in it. I watched a few YouTube reviews on it and a couple said they didn't enjoy it while quite a few others said it was awesome, and I gotta say, this thing IS awesome. As a married man that likes to play video games late while his partner is asleep but doesn't want to bother or keep her awake with the tv on this thing is incredible. The picture quality is amazing, the sound is crisp and more than loud enough even when playing on my patio. Holding the PS Portal for an extended period of time isn't uncomfortable and my hands don't cramp up and I have fairly large hands, and the controls are identical to the dual shock, even down to the haptics and vibrations. I will say that I almost give it 4 stars just because you need a pretty solid wifi connection to have full quality when playing from your PS5, but it's almost always in HD and plays incredibly smooth with rare lag or frame drops. That being said, when I go to connect to my PS5 for remote play it only takes about 15-20 seconds to wake up my PS5 and start remote playing, which might seem like a long wait until you realize that when you start your PS5 from rest mode it takes 10 seconds to wake up and be ready play, so really it's hardly a difference. And the cloud streaming with the PSN+ also works flawlessly. And whether you're playing from the cloud or your PS5 as long as you have a good internet connection you can play anywhere making it fantastic for those that travel a lot or want to bring something on vacation for when the whether is poor, or like me, you want to play games late at night and not wake up your partner. If you've got the extra $200 and you've been eyeballing one of these bad boys, GET ONE! P.S. (Not PlayStation) the case I'm using is Skull & Co and it was $25 on Amazon and it's a perfect fit.

Honestly wasnt sure how i would like it but being a dad on the move and having to go places this is a great portable option as long as wifi or data is available. I would say this is better then the backbone and definitely a bigger screen.

The PS Portal is a great device for gamers on the go or gamers with Kids. Its reasonably light weight and easy to use. Setup only took 5 minutes and it was ready. The visuals are great and game play is smooth. Definitely worth the $200

Excellent display and visual gameplay. Wifi lag can affect gameplay by trying to reconnect to system or internet connection. Would still recommend it to a friend. Personal rating 8.5 out of 10

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!

Best 200 dollar I have spent so far . I have used it from different homes and as long as you got good WiFi it will work great. I use it for when I don’t want to get out of bed , and my wife is sleeping next to me . Pair it to head phones and play . Also i use it to play it on the go. I was able to even play Fortnite on it because of how smooth it runs . However it’s complicated to get a lot of kills due to the screen size . But for story games it’s perfect . I’ve been playing Elden Ring non stop on it Built quality : It’s premium. It feels like a very expensive handheld from the smoothness of the fabric to the weight of the Portal everything is perfect . Comfort: It literally feels like you’re holding the PlayStation controller but with more weight which makes it feel even better . Built in speakers : They are pretty loud . Not so loud that the sound is distorted. Just a prefect balance. Screen quality : 10/10 the screen looks vibrant and the colors looked well toned . Also I have played outside in the back porch in a well lit area and you can see pretty the screeb pretty well . I could not be happier with a purchase from Sony . Recommend 100 percent .

Took a chance on the PS Portal due to it being on sale on Cyber Monday. As a collector, I was going to buy anyways but the reason for my 5 star review is because of how functional this device is. The PlayStation Plus integration on the device elevated this handheld as a must have for me assuming you are willing to pay for the max tier sub of PlayStation Plus. You are able to access the PlayStation Plus library of games without the need of your console to be on. That list is constantly growing. The remote play from the console works as advertised and runs smoothly for me. You must make sure you have a solid WiFi signal to have the best experience. At $179 at the time, it was an easy purchase for me. If you love the PS5 and want to take that experience on the go, buy a Portal.

I know there was a lot of skepticism about this product but I love it I have had minimal issues and it performs as intended actually it performs above what was intended highly recommend but I will say you should probably have your Internet ethernet cable at home which is probably contributing to the higher quality that I’m receiving 10 out of 10 highly recommend

The Sony PlayStation Portal is an amazing piece of tech with so many use cases. With average internet service, I’ve had zero issues. The screen is vibrant and bigger than you’re expecting. All of the Dual Sense features are here. The controls are responsive and precise. This is a high end product. Play your games on the go, on the couch, or in bed. If you’re hesitant, don’t be. It’s time to pull the trigger. You’ll be happy that you picked up the PlayStation Portal.

I find this device to be a very solid performer overall, offering a high-quality display that looks sharp and vibrant in everyday use. The design is comfortable and thoughtfully made, making it easy to hold and use for extended periods without discomfort. It stands out for its ease of use, with intuitive controls and a user-friendly layout that requires little to no learning curve. The build quality feels well-made and reliable, while still maintaining a lightweight feel that makes it convenient to carry and handle. Overall, it delivers a great balance of performance, comfort, and portability, making it a dependable choice for regular use.

Third Portal, bit of a buyer’s remorse with the previous two, but kept coming to it. This time seems it’ll stick and I can’t get enough. Beware though, PS5 wifi chips are not great especially the original models. So expect to deal with quite a bit of choppiness. But there are way to fix this and it’s not the Portal’s fault. Bonus plus if you’re a PS subscriber you get to stream games directly w/out needing to connect to the PS5 itself.

The PS five portal is overall a really nice Runu version of the PSP. You can play the game anywhere as long as you have Wi-Fi or a hotspot connection. It’s good for kids comes with a lot of games as long as you have the PlayStation subscription and it also comes with remote plate if you have the PlayStation five console. I recommend this as a 10 out of 10 present for a teenage boy or young boy or a girl birthday gift, Christmas gift, etc.. the screen on it is overall bigger than i expected and very smooth. It holds a good battery. The screen is clear and touchscreen as well. The accessories available for this product are very easy to buy and search for.

10/10 buy it if you enjoy sleeping alone. Bought this for my fiancé and he plays it every. single. night. My 10-year-old wants one too, but I’m hesitant because he treats controllers like they personally offended him, and I’m not sure the joysticks are replaceable. That said, it’s genuinely impressive- huge screen, smooth gameplay, and way cooler than expected. Bonus: if you’re a nighttime reader who enjoys uninterrupted alone time, this is the perfect gift. Great product for the price. Questionable for relationships. Would still recommend.

I’ve been using the PlayStation Portal Remote Player since October, and overall I really enjoy it. The build quality feels premium, the screen is crisp, and the controls feel exactly like a DualSense, which makes remote play feel surprisingly close to playing on my PS5 directly. The only thing keeping this from being a full 5 stars is the battery life. It works well for short to medium play sessions, but I do find myself needing to recharge sooner than expected. For long gaming sessions, you’ll want to keep a charger nearby. Still, it’s a great device if you want to play around the house without being tied to the TV. If Sony improves the battery life in future versions, it’ll be perfect.

Excellent gaming gear Perfect for a Gamer Dad. All the features in psportal are perfect like Ergonomics, Haptic Feedback, Screen quality, Battery life and etc.
