    This is the handheld you wanted as a kid instead of gameboy and game gear.

    If you go in knowing that the Playstation Portal is simply a device that allows you to stream your PS5 through an internet connection then you should love this device. It is light weight, good battery life (5 hours) and lets you stream your ps5 and the games installed on it. Works best at home but i have been able to connect and play using my phone as a hotspot.

    I do not mind that it is only remote play, I only game at home - this is the main complaint I have heard from peiple, that it doesnt play games natively. Remote play works great with my PS5 ethernet plugged into a wireless extension plugin. Makes it easy to get some gaming in with others in the house using the TV. Hopefully this becomes more available for people to buy and also some colored versions!

    The playstation portal is a must have for extreme gamers. This isnt a stand alone console, meaning you do have to own a ps5. This device allows you to play all the games you have on playstation while on supported wifi. I play my playstation at work and anywhere else i can. My 8 year old also enjpys this when were out or if im using the tv to watch sports. The battery life on this playstation portal is excellent.

    I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it!! The only thing we wish would could change is being able to play on the PS5 while he plays on the portal. Other than that’s it’s an amazing system to take on the go.

    We enjoy this as a gaming device so much that we're considering purchasing a second. Gorgeous screen, familiar setup and gameplay - just make sure you have an Internet connection that can support anything that's heavy on the graphics side. Sure, there are some significant limitations, but for the users that this makes sense for? Excellent stuff.

    I bought three consoles, two for my children and one for me, and the truth is that it was the best decision. It's an excellent game, I recommend it.

    No offline mode and good internet connection + wifi 6 these 2 are needed in order to have a good play experience. The controller is a Playstation 5 mirror meaning everything u do there is the same thing as the TV. Pros you don't need to turn on the TV to play. Bad things no offline mode you must be connected with a stable connection or wifi high speed and of course you ps5 on

    This product work pretty well as a streaming device especially now that you don’t need to be connected to a ps5. Games have occasionally crashed on me, which I’m unsure if it’s an internet issue or something on PlayStations end. Overall I’m pretty satisfied with it for the price.
