    I truly love this thing! I travel from time to time and it helps fill the boring hours spent in hotels. I have never had a strong enough wifi signal to play games like COD 6, or GTA 5, but playing slow paced single player games like FS25 is enough for me.

    Bought this as a Christmas gift. The recipient said it would be great if the portal cam be connected to the PS5 network without having the main console on. They also noticed that the portal constantly lost connection to their wifi even when their in close proximity to the router. Overall they enjoyed their gift.

    It’s been great for gaming away from the tv. As others might have noted there may be some mirco-stutters and occasional loss of connection, but this usually depends on your internet set up. Hard-wiring your ps5 to the modem usually produces the most stable connection. Also, it might just be me but if I’m not holding the ps portal in a very specific way, then my hands get some pretty nasty cramps. I suggest trying to getting hands on with one first before purchasing to make sure it feels comfortable for you.

    Super comfortable but mediocre video quality

    I love how comfortable this device is but the lack of bluetooth audio support and the frequently fuzzy video/graphics quality ever since my first post-launch firmware update makes this hard to recommend. If the video quality returns to be like how it was near launch it actually would be easy to recommend even without bluetooth audio support. Since it had been better for my home WiFi setup, I expect it to be improved/restored in future updates which is the main reason I haven't returned the Portal. Until such an update fixes my video quality issues I haven't been using it since the quality is too low lately for me to consider it worth playing.

    Awesome device for playing when you have a family and the TV might not always be available. Plays well, although online play does not play too well, single player games play as good as they should. Definitely recommend if you have to make time to play with how busy life can get.

    Its an excellent remote player. I like it better than using my phone or tablet. Sony deciding not to add bluetooth capabilities is a head scratcher but there are ways around it. The screen is vibrant and large enough to enjoy gaming on the go. I've used this with my hotspot and other wifi away from home and aslong as the wifi is strong enough it works great with minor frame drops. Battery life is decent and lasts longer with some minor tweaks to settings. Pricing is where it should be. Overall a great item that does what its intended to do very well, with some minor issues that are easily remedied.

    Having little to no time to myself and not being able to get to my man cave the Portal gives me a chance to game from time to time. I hardly notice any difference in graphics and the haptics are just as good as the PS5 controller. The only drawback is the reliance of WiFi, but I knew that going in. There are times when it is very laggy. Also, some spots in my house don’t have great WiFi connectivity. As long as you have a strong WiFi network. You shouldn’t have any problems

    I was initially hesitant to purchase the PlayStation Portal after hearing mixed reviews, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance! It’s been a game-changer for me. The convenience of being able to play remotely when I need to be away from my console is unbeatable. The setup was smooth, and the performance has been great for my needs. If you’re looking for flexibility with your PS5 gaming, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

    Build quality is fantastic, and the screen is gorgeous. The connectivity to the console is excellent with very rare hiccups, and I’m using a 1gb WiFi FiOs connection for reference. I only play single player games and this device is perfect for games like Ultros, Balatros, FF7 Remake, Ratchet and Clank, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection. I don’t play shooters on this because I prefer a larger screen for that, but im sure others would enjoy it. If you’ve been on the fence, do yourself a favor and get one now that they’re back in stock regularly.

    If your looking for portable this is not the option you have to use your hotspot to travel with the device but go on YouTube they guide you through everything.I use it for extra remote or if I’m just chilling on my deck outside or just sitting around on couch if I don’t want watch tv or my television being taken over lols .I have my OLED SWITCH THAT I USE,you can travel everywhere without using a hotspot!Playstation bring back the PSP with new tech !!!
