If you have bad connetion it will not connect and your hotspot struggles to pair since itll say not connected and if you try like a company wifi local vender it will automatically decline other then thats its okay cause the graphics are clear and its smooth on a strong connection played both PS5 games and PS4 no issues at all

Easy to setup and easy to use. The PsPortal does as advertised with a lightweight feel in hand. Even though it is lightweight it still feels sturdy and durable like it will withstand hours of usage without damage to it. I keep mine in a carrying case for travel and use it outside most days. I am happy with the purchase

Overall, a really nice successor to a PSP. It is easy to grab on the go and play some PS5 games on trips. The online connectivity can be a pain sometimes, as it can be difficult to get to work on some hotel wifi. I mainly use it for non-competitive sports games and rpgs. Build quality is questionable. I had some horrible joystick drift that I had to do a lot of troubleshooting for. Eventually, I was able to fix it without replacing the joycon module, but I almost did. The gaps for the joysticks seem to be larger than on a dualsense allowing more dust/ crumbs in.

Best investment if you’re sharing a TV with family or not wanting to keep roommates up with the tv screen. Movers picked up all my stuff so currently using it as a standalone which is pretty nice with the selections available from the PS Plus subscription. But definitely prefer it with the PS5. The downside I feel is not having Bluetooth capabilities which maybe explains the price point. You can’t pair your gaming headphones with it even with an adapter. So if you’re wanting to have a reason to get the matching headset then sure.

For the most part, this portal does what is advertised. You can remotely play or stream your ps5 games away from home. The good: you can play away from home, the led screen is pretty decent. The system is easily portable. The speakers are great. The bad, your ps5 needs to be in rest mode, the controls are super sensitive, the touch pad functionality is in the screen, making certain moves complicated, and msybe the worst function is the wifi connection. If your wifi in the area you are playing, if it's a good connection then the game play is ok.. but if the wifi isnt that great, then playing is a nightmare..every time i play, i get frustrated in the first 20 minutes then give up. But i live in a very rural area, so wifi blows.. bottom line. Its worth it if you have great internet..

After spending real time with the PlayStation Portal, I can confidently say this device fills a very specific niche — and if you fall into it, it’s fantastic. If you don’t, it might feel limited.

It is very high quality and cheap for what it has. you can play it from around the world and on the road. if it is laggy it means you need a stronger connection. So overall i would recommend buying this product.

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!

I love this thing i just wish it did more or was a standalone device however i am enjoying ff tactics on it right now but it mostly stays tucked away however for the price you paid it does what it says and does it well and its super comfortable to hold

I was skeptical about "Remote Play" devices, but the Portal has exceeded my expectations. With my PS5 hardwired to my router, I get almost zero latency while playing in other rooms. The 1080p resolution looks incredibly crisp on an 8-inch display honestly, it looks better than some of my older monitors.

Bought it last year and didn’t really use it much. But knew they would release an update to allow you to stream games without having the console on. So now I play it a lot more as a pick up and play when I have free time around the house. Works great with good WiFi. When the wifi isn’t great then it tends to lag or disconnect

This might be the peak example of a frivolous accessory and I’d say it’s not worth trying one of these without a really strong internet connection to your PS5 (truly, either wire it with an Ethernet cord or have a router right next to it). The lack of a dedicated touchpad also takes a little getting used to (you just tap the screen to pull up one.) That all said, the screen is like stunning sometimes how good it looks. I also think the DualShock 5 is maybe the best controller in gaming so even though the actual design of this is wacky it feels great to play.
