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

This device is great. If your looking to play your playstation 5 games on the go this is the way to go. It works very well on a mobile hotspot running at the 5ghz speed. Paired with the pluse explore ear buds and you can game anywhere youd like as long as you have a connection.

The Portal was a neat concept but in the end, I ended up returning the device. My setup was a hard-wired Ethernet to PS5 and a higher-end tri band routers including WiFi 6E. I also have gigabit speed home internet. Unfortunately the Portal does not use anything above the 5ghz band however. I tested remote play on my iPhone and MacBook Pro prior to preordering the portal to make sure my setup was optimal. After having nearly a flawless experience with those devices. I decided to pick up the portal for the integrated dualsense controls and large display. I played multiple games but mainly focused on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and GT7. Both games worked ok but there was just a bit more input lag compared to other devices I’ve used. The connection would degrade significantly in Ratchet and Clank when any graphically intense scene with lots of moving items such as explosions. This made it unenjoyable to play these offline single player games. Playing any fast-past game online wasn’t even an option with the input lag. I wish Sony would add more functionality to the device like being able to watch movies or play Spotify or even include a browser for Netflix or so you could log onto public WiFi like in hotels since I travel a lot. As far as a subpar remote play device for use around the house, $200 felt like a bad value for this piece of tech.

It’s a remote player! Lets me be lazy and play things from bed, instead of getting up to go into another room, also convenient when someone else is using the tv the system is connected to.

Great for what it is. Nice to be able to play my PS5 games while the kid watches Monster Jam. Make sure your PS5 is hard wired to your router. Also turn off HDMI-CEC so waking your PS5 doesn’t turn on your TV when connecting with the Portal. COD is playable online when on the same router with minimal input lag, input lag is greater when playing remotely thru WiFi, like at a hotel. Get a skin, case and screen protector! You can’t stream media, only play cloud games or games on your PS5.

But if you’ve done your research you can come to understand the value it has and from its overall functionality. Unfortunately, this device is not for everyone. As for me i love it, and appreciate it, and have value in owning one. While i love traditional gaming on a console, I also love gaming on handhelds . This device gives me the best of both worlds. Ive had fun playing Ghost of Tsushima, Kingdom Hearts FM, God of War 3; from in bed at night, my kitchen, and boldly enough from my bathroom. Its network dependant, and ive had a few issues due to their being excessive rain in my area but nothing that impedes me from playing and enjoying my games. The lag from my experience has been minimal and while i wont say its been near perfect. My experience has been highly positive. This has been a great investment for me. I’d encourage others to give it a chance. Just by doing your research and understanding it, you know if its truely for you or not.

Playstion portal is a very good concept having your ps5 in the palm of your hand, BUT you have to have stable and the best connection to use it’s full potential. I’ve returned it.

Works great when you are home and connected to stable wifi. Bought to use in the car for a long road trip. Buffered the whole way. Could not play games well. We attempted hot spots, car wifi, everything we could think of and the connection was spotty at best. Do not recommend for mobile play.

The PS Portal is a pretty great accessory that might not be for everyone. I have only used this at home and for the majority of the time it works pretty great. does have some connection issues from. does hitch up playing more intensive games, but not that often.

This is amazing! Works much better than I was expecting, and much better than my phone or iPad was working over remote play! Love being able to play my PS5 wherever in my house, and on the go!

I’ve had it for two years and Somy has put out nothing but spectacular updates that make this device compound in value. To me, this is one of the best electronic purchases I’ve ever made.

Very good i can take it eith me anywhere i go and rins pretty smooth

Great with my ps5 I can play in bed and don’t have to be stuck on the couch

When using remote play, single player games work fantastic. No input lag or delays even when playing games several hundred miles from my ps5 as long as you have a fairly decent internet connection. There is input lag when playing online games, but that is to be expected. Cloud streaming is a great deal, especially since you don’t actually need a ps5 for that!

Somehow snagged one of these off of best buy’s website. Works great, streams my ps5 games very well and has worked better than remote play app on my iphone with a backbone. The screen is way nicer due to the size also. Haptics on the controller are just like a ps5 controller, which is great.

I finally got my hands on one and I can’t put it down! Having my PlayStation on the go with me is DEFINITELY a plus. Doctor’s appointments, my workplace and even on flights! Wherever there’s WiFi, my Portal and I will be there!

Gotta remember that this isn't like a Nintendo Switch, which can be played anywhere, anytime. Requiring a good internet connection changes the dynamic of this device, but the upside of that is far superior graphics to a Switch because you are playing content streamed from your PS5. You want to make sure your PS5 is connected to your router via ethernet and not wifi for best results. For me, this is a fantastic device. When I play at home, it is perfect 99% of the time. Every once in while (as in one or twice a month) I will see a small stutter in the video, but it resolves almost instantly. And even when I play way from home, as long as I have a decent internet connection, it is almost as good. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

No handheld felt as good as this did in my hands. Sadly the inconsistant connection. The inability to wake my ps5 now and then. The lag. 3 stars is the best I can do. 5 stars for comfort and screen. This is close but not there yet.

This thing is so cool! I can play while the kids hog the TV! Best purchase ever and worth every penny!

It’s a cool thing, the device was open box, it was still clean though, I haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve took it on my 1st trip and it worked like it was supposed to. If I had to I would by an open box item again. The value and quality was so worth it.
