It's a great product and serves a very specific purpose. It streams games from your Playstation 5 to this handheld. Best used if your PS5 is on ethernet and connected to the same network as this handheld, AKA you're at home where the PS5 is. However, i recently traveled to Florida and was able to play Final Fantasy XVI, streamed from my PS5 in California, with still very usable input lag. Quality is amazing, setup is quick and easy, and the controller is basically a Dualsense cut in half (which is a good thing).
Drawbacks are lack of a web browser so you cannot connect to public wifi requiring a website agreement. No bluetooth so only audio options are built in speakers (they're okay), aux port, or PS Link headset/ear buds. Also i think this is a huge missed opportunity to allow support for game streaming classic PS1/2/3 titles via PS Plus. This could be a huge subscriber boost for Sony if they enabled PS Plus game streaming without the need of a PS5. Perhaps in the bext iteration.

Really cool device that allows me to play PS5 games in bed while the wife hogs the tv. The only negative is that sometimes my crappy internet isn’t performing well enough to play but most of the time it works flawlessly .

Move to whatever room you want or whoever’s house you want and play your games. As long as you have a good enough Wifi connection at home and Wifi/hotspot on your phone you can play your digital games or what disc is currently in your console. The PlayStation Portal is worth the money especially if you can’t always sit infront of your tv. Buy it!!

Like alot of others i too was on the fence about getting the portal. When i finally decided to get one after all the good/bad things ive heard about it i was not disappointed. I use it everyday and it works perfectly me no problems but others have a different experience. Its still absolutely worth getting.

This is an awesome device that helps to extend your PS5 experience anywhere you have WiFi. Even a strong hotspot connection will do. This works conjointly with the console, so your console must stay on and connected to the internet, should you want to take your portable remote out and about. This does not work like the PSP. It’s simply a remote control with a screen. Hope this helps.

Works really well with solid internet. I do have occasional internet issues but usually a restart of both consoles fixes the issue. I’ve caught my self playing more now with It. I take It with me to work and I play at the office when given a chance. I recommend highly to anyone who likes to play on the go.

I love this device. I own 2 ps5 and 2 Xbox series X but barely play them. Remoteplay with mobile devices is just not that good yet even with PSPlay or XBPlay. Also, i dont like taking my case every now and then just to connect a controller via usb. Great alternatives to the portal is the gcloud ans abxylute with their 16:9 aspecf ratio.

The PS portal is surprisingly convenient. When my wife wants to watch a movie on the TV, I can still play my PS5 through the PS portal. My son has also been very happy with the portal. A few things to note is that you would need to look for accessories in amazon. Also you have to connect the portal to your PS5 before you can use the PS portal when away from home. I can't think of any negatives to mention. Overall very convenient, and cheaper than most hand held devices.

Playstation 5 everywhere sounds great many people sink and talk garbage about the portal and don't understand what it is or its use its a streaming device for the PlayStation 5 I've gone portable more than playing on my television the PlayStation portal is light and has all you expect from a dualsense controler just that its cut in half and a screen was placed down the middle i was on the fence over a wifi only device but not anymore ive gone out and used it in the home of family members and yes my PS5 is home just remember to keep it in sleep mode but so far my experience and expectations have been met and the portal does what i want and performs the way i want i love mines very much and im super greatful best buy had it back in stock if you ask if its worth it yes it is if your library is large and don't want to purchase the games again on a portable gaming PC... just wanted to use the device before my review
