Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for playing most games over wifi but not so great playing higher AAA titles. The higher end games like cyberpunk 2077 have buffering issues but stray plays great

I picked up a Portal on a whim ahead of a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by it. The best way to think of it is it's not as a stand alone console but rather a two-way streaming device of your PS5. It does take a little getting used to, especially if you're playing a live service game. But as long as you have at least an 15 Mbps connection you should be fine. One major downside is it can be tricky to connect. Connecting to a network that uses a captive portal/login page can be difficult as it doesn't have a built-in browser. Using a travel router or hotspot is probably the best way to go to avoid this problem.

It's great and works well. The only issue is the connection to Wi-Fi. If you don't have any good internet or if you're in an area with weak or needing a password, you may run in to issues using it. Also, it's a streaming device & not handheld like the switch.

It is extremely useful. It is a remote play so PS5 is needed to remotely access, but it connects better than any other device used for remote playing. The display is crystal clear and it keeps the viauals of the conaole so if used with a PS5 Pro it will look just as good. It also has a fearure to stream games directly from PS plus cloud.

Really cool and convenient when it works. Had some connection issues here and there which made Demon's Souls hard to play well on it but everything else such as Stellar Blade was great.

I bought this on impulse and after playing it i have no regrets. Eventhough I'll mainly use this at home sometimes you don't necessarily feel like being in front of your tv. As long as you understand what it is and isn't i think you'll really enjoy it.

My son loves his “PlayStation on the go”as he calls it. There’s only one minor issue, the battery life isn’t that long but it’s a great product overall

The PS5 Portal Black Edition is honestly pretty awesome if you already own a PlayStation 5 and want to play anywhere in the house without hogging the TV. It’s not a full-on handheld like a Switch, but it does what it’s made for really well.

It works well and with the streming feature i can play at home without having my ps5 on

Good purchase and elegant device! It works good and i can play abroad now!

Great product works well wherever better than I thought

Graet accesory to have. It plays your PS 5 games with comfort, either in your house, outside and on the cloud. Great handheld to have.

Works great as long as the internet is reliable! I love being able to not take the tv for some of my games. I work on a computer screen all day and needed a mobile option that wasn’t pc

This is worth every penny! The quality is great, its travel size but yet big enough as if im playing on a tv.

Works pretty good. It take a minute to connect to my ps5 and my network. But all in all it works good

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers a satisfactory streaming experience for PlayStation catalog titles; however, its functionality is unreliable when attempting to stream games directly from a PS5 console. The root cause, whether hardware or software-related, remains undetermined, as connection attempts frequently yield inconsistent results irrespective of network conditions.

"Portable PlayStation fun, smooth remote gameplay!"

I purchased this to play from the comfort of my bed when I don’t wanna be sitting next to my TV screen. So long as you have a strong Internet connection you will have no issues with game drops or graphics dropping resolution. If you are using this at home, you can use your Bluetooth gaming headset since they are connected to the PlayStation five. You can take this with you and use it with your hotspot but just know that I timed my hotspot data usage with this and saw that in 45 minutes of playing call of duty I burned through 5 GB of hotspot. You cannot use any Bluetooth device with this if you’re outside of the home however it does have the earphone jack and most gaming headsets have a headphone auxiliary connection. Do not listen to false reviews of people who do not own one. Those reviews are just speculation and assumptions. you can take this out of the house. The only thing you need to do is have the PlayStation on rest mode at all times otherwise you will not be able to turn it on remotely if your PlayStation is completely turned off which is OK with me since I like to leave it on rest mode at all times to download any updates that are available. Overall, I believe this is a good handheld device. If you do not want to be sitting in front of your TV screen or want to go anywhere outside of your home that has a solid Wi-Fi connection. This will work for you. If your phone plan has a lot of gigabytes of data for hotspot it will work for you too. I like this device a lot when setting it up I was a bit scared as the resolution looked pretty bad, but took a few minutes to go from 420 to 1080 P during initial set up. i never had any issues since. Trust me just purchase one you want regret it at 200 bucks this is a gaming device.

Absolutely love the portal it works perfect with my ps5 pro. Just make sure there's a great wifi connection and you can play anywhere! (Also if you don't have a PS5 to remote play, you can use your PlayStation plus premium account and stream games over the cloud.) My experience buying through best buy is easy and the workers are knowledgeable, easy find easy check-out.

Able to play my games anywhere. Would give 5 stars but difficulties with connecting it to my PS5 if I am not able to be home.
