Is good not great, since it depends mostly on your upload speed of your internet. Try using good ethernet cable on the ps5 for better connection. If using wifi try putting your primary bandwidth on your ps5 to the 5gtz . Also let your ps5 run for like 2 minutes before connecting, when i connect the portal immediately after turning on the game the connection was static while using wifi. Overall good accessory to have.

So far so good! I haven’t tried it away from home yet so that’s the only thing keeping me from giving it a perfect score but so far it’s been staying connected and the graphics are great.

At first I was skeptical due to the Portal being cloud streaming only, however I’ve been thoroughly pleased with my purchase. I do want to add that I have a stable and high speed fiber connection, so your experience may differ from mine. Also if you’re on a network with lots of pull on your WiFi bandwith, I would use a second router attached to your ISP modem via Ethernet to give the PlayStation Portal first priority. It doesn’t take long at all to pair to my PS5, and the quality of my game streaming is excellent. Hardly any input lag for me and almost identical to native gaming.

Lots of mixed reviews on this but I do like it a lot. Kind of depends on the game, some just feel better playing on a console but everything I've played so far plays perfectly fine. I have put quite a few hours on fallout 4 playing handheld. I would definitely recommend if someone in your house is hogging the tv all the time and you just want to play video games haha

Great price for the portal. The new updates for the portal, makes the portal even more worth getting. Great quality and fun to play with. Would definitely recommend.

I overall love the design and love the idea behind the system. Within my first week of owning and using it, I started having connectivity issues. I read online about moving your router and making sure that you were on a steady connection but I still had connectivity issues, and then I developed a drift in my left joystick, I ended up returning it but if they come out with an updated version that solves all of those problems out the box, I will definitely be purchasing another one

Wow, with all the hate around this, I was a little worried it would be a dust collector. Nope! Sony, good job with this, and I can't wait for updates. I know you all have more to come. Yes, I have more than one TV, but the fact that I don't have to be stuck at my TV in my game room is amazing. Downstairs with the family as they watch TV. Amazing! Sayless

This device is great overall but literally you need a ps5 and it just like having a fancy controller with its own screen, it won’t work if your are using the ps5 can’t used it at the same time.

I bought this to take with me on vacation when i visited my sister and nephew. We play Diablo IV together and I was able to use this all day. It was great. Never had an issue. Loved using this when im not able to get to my PS5 console.
