One of the best consoles out there! Definitely recommend it for those that don’t spend a lot of time at home

I love this device. I've had it since launch and it does exactly what I hoped it would plus more. I had my PS5 setup in my living room collecting dust and now I'm able to get some game time in without interrupting my kids.
This device is heavily dependent on having a solid network infrastructure. If your PS5 is unable to be connected via ethernet, I would avoid buying this product. If you are using the router that your ISP provided you, I would avoid buying this product. Your internet speed has nothing to do with how well this will perform in your home.
My setup:
ISP - Verizon
Speed - 1Gig
Router - eero Pro 6E
PS5 - Connected via Ethernet
PS Portal - Connected to Wi-Fi on 5Ghz

The only limitations which kept it from getting a 5 were:
1. It can only mirror one profile, the main one. I think forethought into that would have made the device a true Switch contender in a number of ways.
2. Wi-fi limitations. I understand needing high bandwidth but, unless you turn off the remote play option on the PS5, you can’t add additional WiFi options such as Hotspot. If you are elsewhere, it won’t even login to give you a chance to choose a separate WiFi or use the Hotspot. That will be a real problem for me when I want to use it when I travel overseas in August 2024.

Works great no problems with it since I have had it wish it connected to hotspots a little better but overall I’ve had a blast with it and have used it a lot works well with ps5 pro as well

Just got the PS5 Portal for my son!!!
He’s been wanting it for a while—and wow, it’s worth it! The remote play is super smooth, and now he can enjoy his favorite PS5 games anywhere around the house. Total game-changer (literally).

I have so many good things to say about the Portal. I genuinely love it. For a handheld the graphics are fantastic. Most importantly, you can get your game on literally anywhere with wifi, which is basically everywhere these days. It feels great in your hand, the sound quality isn't perfect but you would be ridiculous to think it should be in a handheld. Easily worth the price, as a matter of fact you are getting a great value deal for $200. Buy it, seriously. You are doing a disservice to your gaming self and DEMOCRACY if you don't!!!

Awesome unit love the fact that when I’m away from home it comes in very handy as long as I have a strong internet connection but now with the new streaming capabilities even if I can’t connect to my PS5 I can still game on the go

I love my Playstation Portal. My main tv which I play my PS5 on and XSX was being used for Christmas movies. My Portal came in clutch. I played Gran Tourismo and Spider Man 2 flawlessly. I took my Portal to my detached garage to get away from my other half and it worked smoothly. If youre married this thing is a game changer. I even took it to the hospital while waiting for my grandson to arrive and it worked perfectly while using the hospitals wifi. Well worth the price. It plays and feels awesome. If i had to ding it..it would be the battery life. I want to say it lasted almost 2 hours. But, I'm just nit picking at this point.

Despite what others say about the portals bad connection and or lag i havent had any issues with it yet. Just make sure that your ps 5 is hardwired via ethernet cable or connected via wifi to a 5ghz network also make sure you have the portal connected to a 5ghz network. Mine are both connected to 5ghz network and when im away from home i connect my portal to my 5ghz portable hotspot tmobile network and as long as the hotspot has more than half signal bars my connection remains good with no issues.

The portal has impressed me so far. It’s amazing on single player games and pretty good on multiplayer games. For games like COD if you’re playing aggresive or like to rush you might have some trouble sonce you need that extra second or two of response time. Same goes for fortnite and other shooters. But overall it is going to play all games very smooth and you will be happy with the performance on it. (make sure your internet is strong enough). It feels great in hands and the screen looks amazing for 1080p. If you want something to take around the house or if you travel often this is an amazing option to have.

PlayStation Portal remote play is a game-changer for gamers who want the to play their favorite games from anywhere (you need WiFi connection) seamless connection between your console and device allows for high-quality gameplay without any lag (if you have high speed Internet). The user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and the customization options enhance the gaming experience. I highly recommend PlayStation Portal remote play for gamers looking to take their gaming experience to the next level.
