    PlayStation Portal : It Just Feels Right

    The PlayStation portal isn't perfect, however, it definitely satisfies a specific niche. Make sure you test remote play on your phone first before you purchase this. That performance (due to your WiFi) is gonna be close to what you achieve on the PlayStation Portal.

    The Portal has made it so easy for me to game anywhere (as long as I have a good wi-fi connection) and can have great parallel time with my partner.

    When I first purchased I had major lag issues. I’ve upgraded my routers and now have 1gbps line so it works better. Battery life is ok, not better than the Nintendo switch. Screen is amazing and controls are superb.

    Really nice to have when traveling. As long as you have wifi you're good. Gameplay depends on how good your connection is. Screen is pretty decent quality. Having full dual sense controls is nice making any game playable on the go.

    I bring this everywhere! I love being able to play my games on my ps5 anywhere I go. I often go to the lake and this has been great to bring for the rainy days where you’re stuck inside. Highly recommend!

    Thank you to the online agent in the chat that made this possible. My son is having a merry Christmas vacation with his PS portal. The portal is everything as advertised and then some. Really hard to get so like i said so thankful to the BestBuy team for making it possible.

    Your milagr may vary but in my experience I get a console quality gaming experience 90% of the time. The other 10% is very laggy and basically unplayable. Still happy with the PS Portal overall and prefer to play on it compared to a laptop or phone.

    Worth the price if you often find yourself sharing a screen with your children or your Mrs./Mr. Purely a remote play device, the quality on performance, image quality, and latency are excellent.

    The Portal's latest update means you dont even need a PS5 anymore, as long as you are a PS+ Premium Subscriber. The ability to stream (your own) games is well worth it now.

    I experience zero lag with the Portal after connecting my PS5 directly to my wifi with a cat6a (75ft). The price is right for what it does. My only complaint is Sony's gaming division, once again, making things unnecessarily difficult to charge.
