Customer Ratings & Reviews

Would recommend, perfect for the kids or when the TV is being used and you still want to game.

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player does exactly what it sets out to do — provide a premium remote-play experience for your PS5. It nails the controller-feel, screen size, and ergonomics. However, it doesn’t attempt to be everything (and that’s both its strength and its limitation). Because it’s heavily dependent on network conditions and the PS5 remains the “engine”, you’ll only get the best experience if your infrastructure is up to scratch. So, if you’re a PS5 user, you have a good home network, and you frequently find yourself wanting to play away from the TV — go for it. But if you were hoping for a full handheld console alternative to the PS5, you might be underwhelmed.

There are a few dumb restrictions either built into the thing (no streaming streamed games) or there because of legal whatever (you're not going to be watching anything on here, thanks DRM laws), but otherwise a pretty good product for what it is.

A steal for the price. Software update maintains tge graphics feel of playing on console.

Considered reviewing this as either 3 or 4 stars. Pros Grip: controls feel amazing. It's really like having a screen build into the Dual Sense. Screen: I don't believe it's OLED, but games still look spectacular and POP on this massive big screen. Sound: Sounds good, too. Works well with my new Elite PS headset or just running speakers. Connecting: Firstly, I have no idea if I can actually get this to connect to my PS5 if I'm traveling, so I'm reluctant to do so until I get a case for it. I mostly bought this device so I could play PS5 games while my kids take over the tv. Within my network, it usually works great, though sometimes I need to restart the device and/or the PS5 if it's demonstrating unplayable lag.

I'm happy with My Playstation Portal is the best purchase I make is Best of Best from Sony Playstation 5 companion Controller Handheld is Best Handheld for Travel to other city or State

PS portal is alright if you know what you are buying, its generally not its own system it works off your PS5 at home, but recently there was and update that you can stream your digitally purchased games or the free games that come with PS plus so it does make it better how ever you always need an internet connection to use this no matter what....and you also need a internet connection where ever you are and your ps5 is in order to mirror your ps5

Obviously, this needs more features to compete with the expansive handheld gaming market. However, I absolutely adore this product for bed gaming and reading fine texts on the PS5. Its not as laggy as remote gameplay and its very simple to use and set up. For my niche needs, this is an absolute game changer!

Great remote play device needs strong WiFi only ok

Like the feel and the graphics of the portal. Just not as portable I wish the hand held could be. Stuck mirroring the ps5 so loses connection if you are in another room

I’ve got 3 kids and finding time to play on my tv is tough…this is a great remedy. Also if you have bluetooth headphones (pulse 3d) and are close to your system you can mute the portal and listen straight from your PS5. This was a game changer and saved me $200 by not having to buy the new headphones.

Cool product. Feels premium. Would be better if it was able to download games or use cartridges. Takes a little getting used to since some buttons from the controller use the touch screen instead. Great if you have a PSN membership and strong internet connection. While I have a membership, my internet set up does not seem to be strong enough for a stable connection, so I did not keep this item, however I hear it’s great for those who do

Excellent gaming device. I was able to play it without the PS5 console because I had the PlayStation app. However, I did get the console for my birthday which made it a much better experience.

Was looking for gift for my son and thought this would be great for traveling. Hook up to hotspot and plays games from the house. Can be a little glitchy but nothing compared to dial up days.

Great for on the go gaming, as long as your PS5 is on! You can also play it without a PS5 if you subscribe to PS Plus Premium (or whatever that tier is). Beautiful quality screen.

Love this, screen looks great! Will use a ton while traveling

I love it and it works great. I would recommend to buy this.

This is a great buy! I’m able to travel and play. It’s a little different than actually playing but still SO fun and worth it. Gotta have streaming pass to have the full experience. Hope you get to enjoy like I did!

Overall its a great gaming device for on the go. Have not had any problems with it.

Awesome way to game while my kids are using the TV! No doubt takes credit for finishing my first game of the year. Open box seriously seemed brand new. Was amazed by the new update allowing cloud streaming for PS+ Premium member
