No worries! With Remote Play, you can stream your favorite games to any compatible device, whether you're lounging on the couch or out and about. It's gaming magic at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere!

Despite the lack of inventory and chasing around to purchase the unit, the device is completely worth it for times when I’m only able to squeeze a couple of minites to play without bothering the entire household. It depends completely on your wifi strength and bandwith, but overall great experience, decent screen size while playing before going to bed and the familiarity of playing with the ps5 controller. The addition of the explorer earbuds is just the icing on the cake for having wireless audio.

I was hesitant about this product. However I have used it almost daily since I got it. I have alot of digital games and that is how you make the most of this product. The graphics are incredible and I have played online. Online gameplay drains the battery life quicker but for the most part you can get a solid amount of time gaming, online or otherwise! Highly recommend if you want to game and not have to haul your PS5 around. 10 out 10 must try again!!

I’ve been using it a lot. When my tv is busy beating watched by other family members I can play the massive library of games I have built on my pan account. A must have for any ps5 owner.

Magnificent portable console, it helps a lot when someone else is using your television and you want to play, and the best thing is that you can play anywhere you are.

I love this device! With the new update that PlayStation has made to the portal..I no longer have to have ps5 console to play my game library. Seeing that I sold my station 2yrs ago..this allows me to stay connected! BEST DEVICE IVE PURCHASED IN AWHILE

Love the versatility of the Portal. I find myself playing my PS5 through it more often than I would just playing the PS5 normally. It’s perfect for my job too since I travel a lot. It comes with me wherever I go.

The Playstation Portal is one of those ideas that sound horrible on paper but a masterpiece in execution. Especially if you’re a busy person who just wants to comfortably lay in bed after a hard days work and play your favorite Playstation games. Personally, I have been enjoying Rise of the Ronin. I have fiber internet 1GB speeds so I can not speak for any other speeds. I have a backbone and it is not the same experience. A great quality of life device overall.

Does what it’s supposed to do connect to the PlayStation has been getting better and better with each update. It’s a huge asset to the PS5, but I would like to have a dedicated portable console that works in conjunction with the PS5, kind of like the Switch. However, I like the Portal for what it is.

The Playstation Portal is a cool device allowing you to remote play your PS5 (if you have one) and enjoy cloud streaming of select games if you are using the Playstation Plus premium service. I would have loved it more if it also played my digitally purchased games from the Playstation Store as that would maximize it's value. Alas, no such luck. Perhaps Sony's upcoming handheld (circa 2026 Q4) will allow for such digital purchase playing along with it's dedicated games.

The portal works way better than the remote play app. Remote Play works fine on some platforms, I have no issues on android or on a Nintendo switch (homebrew) But to play on a small screen phone is not ideal and playing on a tablet you need a controller until blackbone comes up with a version for tablets. This simply works flawless ly at home where I use it most. Like I said until there are good options for tablets this portal is the best solution yet.

I wanted something that would give me the freedom to play my Ps5 if I couldn’t be on the couch in the living room and this was the perfect solution, I was actually surprised how well it works having delved into cloud gaming and other options before.

Absolutely love it. I brought it for my grandson for Christmas and he can't put to down! He's even made online friends. The picture features are top-notch. The sound is like you're in a movie theater

I love it, whether I’m connected via WiFi or my hotspot I can connect directly to my PlayStation 5 Pro and take advantage of any downtime where ever I may be.

As someone who loves my Switch because of the ease of switching between playing on the TV and playing in bed (and also being a Dad that frequently shares the screen with 3 little girls), this device solved a lot of problems I had with my PS5. I can now allow the girls to watch or play their Switch on the TV while also playing the games I love. I also love the ability to being it to bed and play next to my wife while she plays Animal Crossing. There’s no better feeling.

I love this thing! If you have kids and a wife that tell you to turn the game off because no one wants to watch you play and you don’t want to isolate yourself in a cave. Then this is the solution you’ve been looking for. I play my PS5 games on the couch right next to them. Play online Fortnite or regular campaigns! I don’t feel any lag whatsoever. Additionally you can play it anywhere as long as you have a good wifi connection and your PS5 is in rest mode. 10/10 would buy again!!!
