It works well on my network that has at least 30 smart home products connected to the Internet at all times. I have my PS5 plugged into Ethernet and have at&ts top internet plan which really only gets me about 170 - 200 mbps on WiFi but it still holds a connection well. The quality of it is really nice and I’ play on it for a few hours at a time while in my home office since my ps5 is in the living room.

The PlayStation Portal works exactly as advertised. Setup was fast, the screen looks great, and the controls feel just like a DualSense controller. With a solid Wi-Fi connection, gameplay is smooth and responsive. It’s perfect for playing PS5 games when the TV is in use. Highly recommend for PS5 owners who want more flexibility.

I recently purchased the PS Portal from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I unboxed it, the design felt sleek, comfortable, and premium. The setup was quick and simple, and within minutes I was streaming my PlayStation games with smooth performance and beautiful visuals.
The display is bright and crisp, making every detail in my games pop, and the controls feel just like a DualSense — responsive, comfortable, and immersive with the haptic feedback. I love the freedom it gives me to play my favorite games away from the TV, whether I’m relaxing on the couch, in bed, or even around the house.
Best Buy made the whole process super easy — fast shipping, great packaging, and excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend the PS Portal to any PlayStation fan who wants the convenience of remote play without sacrificing quality.

I’m very happy with this purchase. The product works exactly as described and feels well built with good quality materials. Setup was quick and easy, and I didn’t run into any issues using it. Performance has been smooth and reliable so far, and it does what I need it to do without any problems. For the price, this is definitely a solid value. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something dependable and easy to use.

What i can say about the ps portal, its good for casual on the go gaming. Story based games isnt too bad. If your looking for on the go competitive play type of experience this isnt it due the fact of input delay depending on your internet connection but most of the time itll be decent. Its a good streaming device

The portals design is light, product does not over heat and no does not make your arms tired from excessive game play. The battery could last longer, if you plan on playing out in public ensure to bring a battery pack as well. My game time is when the wife wants the TV for herself, screen protector and case applied before the kids got it.

Great for PS5 owners who want to play anywhere at home. Streaming is smooth with solid Wi-Fi, controls feel just like a DualSense, and the screen looks sharp. Downsides: no native/cloud gaming and it’s useless without a PS5 or strong internet. Worth it if you mainly want portable PS5 Remote Play.

As someone with limited space in my room, I cannot hook up a TV to play the PS5 so this device is amazing for playing in bed. I own a Steam Deck that can do the same thing but requires a little bit more setup, and I personally prefer first party as it was an easy to connect and fluid experience. The screen is also pretty big which is a must have for me, so I think this is the perfect device. My internet router and modem are both in the room so connectivity is strong.

ITS WORTH IT!!! The streaming quality is surprisingly smooth as long as you have decent Wi-Fi. Games look sharp, the controls feel exactly like a DualSense, and there’s basically no learning curve. It really feels like you’re holding a full PS5 controller with a screen in the middle.If you have a PS5 and want more freedom in when and where you play, the PS Portal is absolutely worth it. It’s simple, it works, and it makes gaming way more convenient.

Yes, you're dependent on PS remote keeping a connection, but that isn't the fault of the controller. The controller itself has hours of enjoyment on a single charge if you can't use your TV.
The only downside is the headphone selection you can use. You can't use regular bluetooth headphones or earbuds. You can either use the Sony PULSE devices that pair up easily, or connect a headphone jack wire.

One of the bestttt purchases iv made in a long while...clear..fast..very impressed..(!!ATTENTION/REMINDER this is not a stand alone thing you NEED a ps5 console as a whole this is for REMOTE play Only so you will need to be able to connect to the actual ps5 itself...!!!)

This is a great system on the go WiFi connection needed and pairing to your ps5 as well, if this device is for a minor make sure to research information on pairing device to a minors account before purchasing. Was able to pair with my sons minor account took some research but was able to do so and he loves it

This is really great for using when you cannot be near where your ps5 is located. I use it upstairs when the room is occupied where my ps5 is being used. This set up does take a little getting used too with the controls so separated and at times feels like there could be a little lag since it basically is just mirroring your ps5 over an internet connection

Trust me! If you are a dad who wants to get in some gaming whenever possible, this is a good buy. You can either remote into your ps5 or pay extra for cloud streaming.

I always wanted to get a portal and I'm glad I waited till the black one came out I love it! I can play my games while the rest of the family uses the tv. It also works well if you're not at home all only thing which is really needed is an internet connection and the better it is the better the performance of course. The price is the same as the white but I did get mine price matched so I got it at a great deal.

Amazing console able to play games away from home only draw back is if ps5 hasn’t been on for a day connection will not connect. Although when you have a personal WiFi at another house connection issues are irrelevant but if at a hotel terrible would recommend streaming rather than playing own library games

Best gift ever given.
My little brother was stoked to have this game sent to him. He couldn’t wait to break it in while sitting on the toilet. Perfect for on the go gamers.

This is the perfect gift for PS5 owners. My son enjoys playing his games without having to use the TV. He is able to relax and play whatever he wants. The only problem I really have with it is taking it on the go and finding a source of WiFi for it to work without lagging.

This is perfect if you want to play while someone else uses the TV. Yes is not perfect depending on your interest speed. If you have plus premium, you can play without the need of a ps5. Also you can play your library while someone else plays on the ps5.

It's a Device that no one asked for but definitely needed. I'm a father of 2 and i use this while they sleep. It feels great, fast response and my favorite factor is the big screen. It is not the same as my OLED C1 LG but it gets the job done. I highly recommend it. Worth $200 plus the tax
