Streams from my PS5 without a hitch and frees up the television for my wife and kid.

Even though its not a stand alone system this is the product we needed. I love this thing. I can be hundreds of miles from home but as long as i have a decent connection to wifi i can hop ont my PS5 with remote play but what truly made this a five star product was the addition of cloud gaming and so far sony and the Playstation brand have done it well. Until we get a new PSP this will have to do and its not a compromise.

The Sony PlayStation portal looks and feel better than using the backbone. It has a little weight to it but is high quality construction. It doesn't quite feel like a PlayStation controller but close. The screen and the graphics are very good, just like a miniature experience that one would get on the PS5. Because of this, I would recommend getting some screen protectors and a after market case to store and transport it.
I haven't experienced any latency when playing. It really depends on your connectivity for online gaming. It's a great value.

The Portal, in my opinion, is for a specific gamer. One that shares the TV with family but would like to game whenever they can. I enjoy gaming while family is watching TV, and I can go outside too. I have not taken it out of the home so I don't know how true remote gaming works on the Portal, but at home the connection is solid. I have not experienced any lag or drops in rate, it is well executed. For my specific need, need to play while TV is being used, this is perfect. I used to remote play on my laptop but that was cumbersome, now it's flawless and very enjoyable.

Portal just got even better. This midnight black looks so much better than the white one. Make sure your ps5 is connected to your modem with the Ethernet cable for the best experience. Play your ps5 anywhere you go, even without WiFi if you phone has a good hotspot. And now you don’t even need a ps5 to use it, just pay for the premium ps plus & you can stream games from the cloud.

Thanks to the ststem update on 11/19/2024, you can play stream from the cloud server without connecting to PS5 if you are a PlayStation Plus Premium member. The choice is limited, and they say that this is still a beta test, but it works! The save data are stored in the cloud and synchronized to PS5, so you can play seamlessly with both consoles. I am on a vacation away from home, but I can play at the hotel without flustrations. Hope this would be the official function and the choice of games will be increased.

I love this PlayStation Portal. So easy to pick up and play all my digital PS5 games anywhere in the house. Wired connection from PS5 to the router helps latency immensely. When I’m playing at home there’s practically no latency, feels like playing directly on the console. Outside of the house there’s a little bit of lag but my brain quickly adjusts to it. Ergonomics feel great, it’s lightweight and easy to hold, no hand cramps like playing on the Switch. Battery life is decent, I can get about 4-5hrs of gameplay on a single charge. It came packaged really nicely. Overall a fantastic product and has me playing my PS5 more than ever.

For only $200- it is perfect. More games are coming out on the streaming part and there really is not that much input lag when remote playing. Worth it and makes it easy on traveling, rather then having to bring the entire PS5.
