I was on the fence about this particular item. After all it is not a stand alone device. But I am able to play my PS5 from anywhere in the house. I underestimated how fun this device would be.

The screen resolution isn’t great and it’s noticeable. Yes it’s a handheld and you shouldn’t expect miracles but the pixels were very noticeable and annoying to me right off the bat. With that being said the gameplay was quick with no noticeable lag and while the handles are set up just like a normal PS5 controller I found it cumbersome with how far apart they are. I ended up returning this.

This is perfect for me cuz im a father of a baby so once i sent my baby to sleep i can play my ps5 on my portal and stay in my bedroom with my wife and sleeping baby. Is not for everyone but for sure is perfect for some specific needs

Absolutely amazing device, with a few shortcomings. Nothing particularly intrusive that a device restart doesn't fix, but the PS Portal will occasionally be unable to find the PS5 for no particular reason. Once connected though, it really shines.

Bought this during a flash sale, and haven't regretted the purchase. I got to play it for all of one week before my wife got ahold of it. I have not gotten the Playstation Portal back into my hands ever since. She absolutely loves it, and that satisfies me more than playing myself.

The Portal was a neat concept but in the end, I ended up returning the device. My setup was a hard-wired Ethernet to PS5 and a higher-end tri band routers including WiFi 6E. I also have gigabit speed home internet. Unfortunately the Portal does not use anything above the 5ghz band however.
I tested remote play on my iPhone and MacBook Pro prior to preordering the portal to make sure my setup was optimal. After having nearly a flawless experience with those devices. I decided to pick up the portal for the integrated dualsense controls and large display.
I played multiple games but mainly focused on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and GT7. Both games worked ok but there was just a bit more input lag compared to other devices I’ve used. The connection would degrade significantly in Ratchet and Clank when any graphically intense scene with lots of moving items such as explosions. This made it unenjoyable to play these offline single player games. Playing any fast-past game online wasn’t even an option with the input lag.
I wish Sony would add more functionality to the device like being able to watch movies or play Spotify or even include a browser for Netflix or so you could log onto public WiFi like in hotels since I travel a lot.
As far as a subpar remote play device for use around the house, $200 felt like a bad value for this piece of tech.

This won’t be for everyone, but those that will use it will love it. Its great. I love being able to play in bed before night without having to be in the living room. Will also be great when I travel for work and can play from the hotel room.

this isnt for playing multiplayer like a call of duty, but to catch up with some single player games on the go. You will be disappointed if you are looking to play something competitive, but not if you are looking to play something casual.

Love it, I'm able to play my playstation anywhere in my house conveniently. I can play while the kids watch stuff on the main tv while remaining in the same room as them. Only wish it was portable and could take it places without the console.

Looks amazing! I honestly thought i was going to regret buying since it's all based off of internet speed (i don't have the best internet) and it runs amazingly.

Love my portal! It is exactly as advertised. A remote play device for your PS5. So if your significant other is watching some Netflix, you can chill beside them on your PS5! Latency is not bad at all either and the controller is exactly like a dual sense! Plus the screen is beautiful! Highly recommend!

This item is a Christmas gift for my grandson. However, it arrived on time and the box it came in is in excellent condition. Excited to see him open it.

Great little device for what it was designed to do. It does need a few things to make it better that might be coming in software updates. Needs cloud streaming, a way to connect directly to the PS5 and should have had Bluetooth.
