Great gaming accessorie for traveling and playing ps5 videogames. I will say this you will need a good connection to wifi to be able play games since they are being streamed.

Haven’t had this device long, but so far I have enjoyed the ease of connecting to my PS5 when I’m out and about. As long as the internet is accessible and able to provide the minimum recommended internet speed it has worked fine. The display screen is nice and bright syncing to my PS5 with very minimal lag. Wish there were a way to save games on the device but I’m pretty that will come as time passes. Maybe not in this model but who knows.

Awesome device! Works pretty good and love playing ps games on a portable device! The display is beautiful as well and colors pop. I recommend it for sure.

Got this to be able to play the PS5 without taking over the TV. So my wife can watch her shows and I can play while still being in the same room. Picture quality is great and screen size works well for most games I have played. Need good internet for it to work.

Was able to snag this during the holdiay deals and so far for it’s everything I expected and more. I had no idea I could also stream games from my library! It’s a great companion device as lokg as you have an internet connection you are all set to play a ton of games!!

This product looks amazing and feels great in my hand
It was easy to step up and use with in minutes.
I love that i can enjoy my games while the family use the tv. I can play in my living room and then set up my potal to play while relaxing in my room. Love this product.

Great experience at Best Buy. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, and they made sure I found exactly what I needed. Checkout was quick, prices were fair, and the store was clean and organized. I also appreciate the easy pickup and return process. Definitely recommend.

Awesome device especially when you upgrade to the more expensive playstation just wish it was a little more durable only had it for about 5 months of actual use and my son used it and gave it stick drift.

So I'll start off by saying this: I am not a dad. I don't have kids, but my girlfriend does spend a lot of time of YouTube. Sure, she could go to another room and has offered to do so, but I wanted to be able to play games on the couch in the same room as her while she watched whatever she wanted.
A lot of people think the Portal is bad compared to something like the Steam Deck or any device capable of Remote Play. Long story short: For the price, you will not find a better device for playing your PS5 off of the TV screen. Sure, the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or any number of other portable gaming PCs can do MORE, but they're also at least 2-3 times the cost.
And when you look at something like the Backbone, the inclusion of an actual Dualsense and an 8" 1080p / 60Hz screen makes it an easy win for the Portal.
So now, the cons: Even with a wired connection to the PS5 and my HDMI cable to in unplugged, there still can be some perceptible frame drops. I have fast internet but I also PC game so it's possible that I'm just more sensitive to dips in framerates.
Also, don't buy this if your plan is to use it as a streaming device for anything but games. Apps like Netflix and pretty much anything from the "Media" tab will NOT stream to the Portal.
Furthermore, if your PS5 goes into Rest Mode while a game is open the Portal will NOT be able to wake it from Rest Mode. You need to make sure everything is closed out before putting it into Rest Mode in order to wake it up with the Portal.
If all that sounds okay to you, then I can highly recommend the PlayStation Portal! It's not too heavy, feels premium, and when you realize that a DualSense Edge controller is the same price, it doesn't sound bad. And as long as you have a good wi-fi connection, you can even play it away from home! Definitely pick one up to fill any gaps when your TV is in use.

Great handling, awesome graphics. Love the display. Difficult to play when not in same network. Needs port forwarding to play remotely and if the connection is not strong it is extremely glitchy and the quality of the image greatly diminishes

This thing is great. I have kids so they are most of the time watching movies or playing their own games. With the portal I can just let my kids do their own thing and be able to play some games while in bed or on the couch. Sometimes even at work.
