Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this to be able to use when i want to play remotely, been pleasantly suprised with it. the screen is bright and clear. the device is comfortable in my hands, its not heavy. the only downside i have noticed to it, are with games that use the button on the touchpad of a normal ps4/ps5 controller. ive not yet noticed a way to use that button on the Portal, ive only tried one game and it had otherways to get to the section that i needed to go to (the touchpad button was a shortcut to a map) other than this, i have loved everything about this device.

This product is good when it works. You definitely need a strong wifi connection, not highly recommended for online multiplayer games because it’s going to have lag, as expected from any streaming. Build quality, sound and image are very good. If you heard about the small analog sticks, it’s not so much like the switch, to me it more just having a longer distance to reach the end of any direction when you move it, which makes it a weird sensitivity learning curve, noticeable difference from the dualsense remote.

The PS Portal is everything it is hyped up to be. I was skeptical, but it’s universally praised views on youtube(a platform where the tiniest flaws turns into an hour of non-stop complaining) sold me on getting it and it did not disappoint. Allows the family to watch something on the TV while I’m playing a game of NCAA 26. Go get it!!!!

This is a good bang for your buck if you plan to play at home. The ability to play anywhere in the house is very nice. You will want to hardwire the console to prevent any lag. Feels nice in the hands and the screen is very clear.

I've been impressed with how well it works compared to the normal remote play app. Noticably smoother and having a full PS5 controller is very nice. Kind of need a premium subscription to take full advantage but I've enjoyed it so far.

I love it it’s very portable and I love trigger and it’s not really heavy. Got a nice big screen and a really good refresh rate.

This little guy allows me to game anywhere in the house. Visual look good and can stream any game o have on my PS5. Does require good WiFi signal throughout the house but if you got it this provides gaming freedom. Haven't tried the cloud gaming feature yet but will give it a try soon. Great for multitasking. Game on my portal and computer and watch Netflix all at the same time with only 2 monitors

The screen is amzing, look similar to OLED diplay and controlers feels great. Battery life i good and didn’t noticed lag inputs while playing FIFA and Fornite.

I like that the screen is a respectable size and its really clear and games and cutscenes are super clean and my favoritepart is having a ps5 on the go

Excellent Sony product! Pairs perfectly with the PS5. Screen is HD and crisp. Games must be uploaded to the PS5 storage. If not, the game disc must be present in the PS5 to play remotely. Highly recommend a quality case and screen protector for the portal since it is a larger handheld device. Highly recommend for the gamer on the go, that does not always have the time to play while at home (or on the family TV).

Very great product. The graphics are just as good as the actual console. You’re able to access your account on this device without even having your console. The screen itself is so big , it makes my switch look like an iPhone mini . lol This made a great gift ,

The screen is so clear and it’s easy and convenient to play

Love it! Works perfectly. The screen size is ample, it’s comfortable to hold and great for playing games anywhere within the house when the TV is being used for something else.

Bought this as the TV is being by my wife and kids. The kids have friends over a lot as they use the tv fir shows, movies and video games. The portal is great when the tv is in use and i have some time to play. Tried it on a trip as we are over 400 miles away and it worked great. Have not used it yet with an online mutliplayer game. My ps5 is hardwired for the fastest internet I could get, which I think helps.

Very easy to use my husband and i loved it! We use it almost every day

If you have good internet the ps portal is awsome. The convenience of playing you ps5 games from anywhre as long as you have internet is awsome

Amazing. I love the portability of it. The cloud streaming on it works well and the remote aspect is on point. No lag in remote play.

This is one of the best purchases that I have EVER made!!! I am 59 years old and gaming help me to come down after a long day at work and when I travel for work it helps to still be able to connect to my PS5 and play a game or two for an hour, and that's where the PlayStation portable comes in. I can connect to mt PS5 from wherever I am or I can stream games from my PlayStation Plus account. Great purchase. I recommend.

For travelers, this system FINALLY makes sense. When first released it just meant you could be in a room your system wasn't to play while others were maybe using the TV or the like. Now for those PS users for the upgraded PS membership you can cloud play certain games anywhere you have wifi. Not all games you own on cloud are yet available but many great ones are. Be advised despite what the store employee told me, you can not pull a game down onto the machine to use in airplane mode or the like. It's wifi cloud play only. With a good connection the games play smoothly. The screen resolution can be a little dark even with the brightness max'ed out. Also you might need to check with a YouTube video to learn the connection steps when trying to get on a hotel or airline wifi to play. If a website is needed to 'activate' a wifi connection there are added steps.

I recently got the PlayStation Portal Remote Player and I’m impressed overall, especially if you already own a PS5. The build quality is excellent: it feels like the familiar DualSense controller in your hands, with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback that bring the console experience into a more portable form. According to reviewers the controls are virtually no difference between the Portal’s controls and the PlayStation 5’s beloved gamepad. The 8-inch 1080p screen is crisp and sharp, and when your network is solid the streaming experience is very smooth (no noticeable lag for most games. That said, there are some caveats this device is not a standalone portable console it primarily works as a remote-player for your PS5 via WiFi. Some reviews point out that connectivity (especially WiFi strength router setup is key, and features like Bluetooth for wireless headphones are missing. In short if you want to play PS5 games in another room (or on the go, given you can connect remotely) and you already have the PS5 ecosystem, this is a great complement. If you were expecting a full handheld with its own library or lots of extra features, you might be a bit disappointed.
