Customer Ratings & Reviews

I usually do not do reviews, but I absolutely love this device and the Midnight Black color! It is a great way to play your PS5 games in handheld mode and catch up on that nagging backlog. My PS5 console had been collecting dust recently due to my busy life schedule but since buying the portal I have not picked up my Switch 2 in days. I also love the cost of the device as well given how expensive gaming has become as of late.

Great for playing games around the house if you don't want to move your console or someone else is using the TV. Does take some getting used to playing on it but you get used to it quickly. I do really like how they have the controller handles compared to other handheld consoles. I think that's what separates this from others.

Amazing. It’s almost as if I have two PS5s. With the recent update that Sony added you now can stream PS5 games with PS Plus Premium membership. I’ve yet to have any lag with my 5G internet in my apartment. It’s well worth the 17.99 a month because they are adding more & more games to the line up which already contains like 100 or so games. You have PS3 games, PS2, just a crazy catalog. It’s nice to be able to lay in bed & play my games & still watch tv etc. The Switch finally has a bit of competition with this. I can’t imagine what the next handheld from Sony will be like. This is definitely a beta for something bigger to come, & with this update it is well worth your 199.99 + tax.

Great for what it is. Nice to be able to play my PS5 games while the kid watches Monster Jam. Make sure your PS5 is hard wired to your router. Also turn off HDMI-CEC so waking your PS5 doesn’t turn on your TV when connecting with the Portal. COD is playable online when on the same router with minimal input lag, input lag is greater when playing remotely thru WiFi, like at a hotel. Get a skin, case and screen protector! You can’t stream media, only play cloud games or games on your PS5.

It runs really well and is very convenient when you share living space with others. I don't like that whenever you want to switch profiles you have to sign completely out and sign back in with the other account. On the Playstation, you can just switch accounts. And i wish there was a function for adjusting the screen display, not just make it brighter or darker. I'd like to be able to adjust the contrast for example.

This device truly is just a portal to access your PS5 games when not sitting directly in front of it. I was planning to buy a new gaming controller and ended deciding on this instead and it's been a nice addition. Streaming quality varies and affects gaming sessions, so I don't recommend for any competitive gamers.

I wasn’t expecting the progressive usefulness and ever expansiveness of the capabilities and innovative nature of this tech. I’m pretty much an old handheld user who’s used multiple platforms. Simple put, my portal is really killing the game.

We love love this playstation portal! My husband and i sometimes hangout just doing our own thing. But it sucks when i wanna watch my show but he wants to play his game. So, the playstation portal has been so awesome in letting us hangout but doing our own individual thing. Also helps when our 1 year old demands to watch Bluey lol

This makes gaming so much more convenient! The device looks and feels great, and really enhances the PS5 experience if you’re looking to enjoy your games in a different location from your usual setup. Glad I made the purchase and would recommend to anyone who might be on the fence.

Had a trip to Orlando and took it and it was amazing it was functioning well and had no problems with the connection. I recommended leaving your ps5 on rest mode that way if you have the ps app you can turn it on anywhere your at and could use your ps portal.

Great if you want to play PS5 games on the go. The controls are very comfortable and the screen looks great.

"Portable PlayStation fun, smooth remote gameplay!"

This is possibly one of the best pieces of technology I’ve purchased in a long time. It works effortlessly to connect to my PS5 and allows me the flexibility to play the games I want anywhere in my home without having to move the console. I love playing on the big screen but with some games this sometimes causes motion sickness over prolonged periods of intense game play. The Portal allows me to play in between, and reduces that sense of motion sickness. The quality of the handheld is amazing, and the screen is big, bright, and gorgeous. The ergonomics of the grips are fantastic. It feels exactly like a Dualsense controller despite the added distance between the left and right grips due to the large screen. Battery life seems to be pretty normal, I have had no issues with it depleting faster than I need it to. The only improvement I could suggest is the placement of the USB-C charging port. It’s a little difficult getting it plugged in under the lip of the back of the device. It would be better suited to the top of the handheld so you don’t have to “dig” to get it in the port, and it would make it easier to charge while the device is still in use. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the Portal and I am excited to use it away from home when they bring game streaming out of beta. If you have been thinking about purchasing a Portal, do it. You will not regret it.

It is extremely useful. It is a remote play so PS5 is needed to remotely access, but it connects better than any other device used for remote playing. The display is crystal clear and it keeps the viauals of the conaole so if used with a PS5 Pro it will look just as good. It also has a fearure to stream games directly from PS plus cloud.

Really enjoy the graphics. The connection can be spotty sometimes but overall i enjoy using it

First off, I am so sick of the "YoU sHoUlD pLuG yOuR cOnSoLe InTo EtHeRnEt" responses about improving performance with this. We get it, wired is always better; not everyone's setup allows for that! In a world where so many devices are wireless, and Sony expects you to remote play on sometimes crappy wifi, it is shocking to me that in the same home / on the same network you end up with enough latency to make it drop connection or get grainy/laggy. It gets a little better each update, but still kinda lackluster and it is so odd that it - pretty much across the board with people on the same wifi for their console - will perform better outside of your home when they're on separate networks! Sometimes I just want to play in bed or something and it's kinda bad at that. Overall it is a really cool device and when it works, it works well! It's a compelling alternative to other handhelds especially with more recent ones like ROG Ally X and MSI Claw costing $800-900 and continuing to rise with each new handheld! For $200 you can play your games on, what I feel like, is a more ergonomically friendly device and better controller. GOOD: - Controller is great, if you like PS5 controllers - Adaptive triggers work on it! - Screen looks nice - Light weight compared to other handhelds like Steam Deck, Rog Ally, Lenovo Legion Go. Nice alternative here. - Access to your PS library without re-buying games for PC on other handhelds BAD: - Latency can be atrocious, especially on the same network. Often have to reboot this and my PS5 to get a solid connection to play, which is a bit of a known issue/workaround. - Anything competitive or really input lag sensitive starts to feel almost nauseating with delays or mismatch to what you expect - Should allow direct streaming of PS Plus stuff, which initially didn't and won't be fully realized unless they include that. Take out my need for PS device for remote stream games and eliminate a hop! For $200 it's good, but if you have a handheld and want to use something like Chiaki it sadly works better most times on wifi, so I would go that route before buying this. If you have your PS5 on ethernet, let 'er rip and this probably works great!

The item is great. have had no issues and the quality is top tier. sony did a great job.

Great device for handheld, on-the-go play. The controller feels comfortable and solid in the hand, and the screen looks amazing with vibrant visuals. Gameplay is enjoyable overall, especially when traveling or playing casually. Cons: Connectivity can sometimes be difficult to get working smoothly, and I do experience occasional lag during gameplay. That said, my Wi-Fi setup may be contributing to the lag, so results could vary depending on connection quality.

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

Wow! This is much better than expected. My PS5 is hard-wired via Ethernet, and this connects to the same router as the PS5 via Wifi. I have never had any lag or speed issues. Even though the screen is IPS, it's still bright and colorful, and I had no problems playing any of my titles. Lightweight, pleasant in the hand to hold. Now I'm not restricted to the chair and TV; I can lie on the couch, lie in bed on these cold nights, and play. I love these thing, I have the Legion Go 2, totally different product I know, but for my use, I prefer this and it's a 10th of the cost
