Customer Ratings & Reviews

The PlayStation Portal is a sleek, portable way to stream your PS5 games anywhere with strong Wi-Fi. Its crisp 8-inch screen and full DualSense controls feel premium. However, it lacks Bluetooth audio and only works via remote play—no cloud or native apps. Great for dedicated PS5 users seeking flexibility.

The PlayStation Portal surprised me in the best way. It’s super convenient, lightweight, and the screen looks crisp and smooth while playing. The DualSense controls feel exactly like a PS5 controller, so it doesn’t feel like a downgrade at all. As long as you have a solid Wi-Fi connection, the gameplay is fast and responsive with almost no noticeable lag. It’s perfect for gaming in bed, on the couch, or when the TV is being used by someone else.

Great device. Works extremely well as a portable gaming system, however, just make sure you have a strong internet connection. If that is weak the device does glitch, but I blame that more on the internet than the PS Portal device.

Bought for my husband for Christmas… Love how he can carry it anywhere and room to room as he goes. and i get to watch TV lol. Battery is good lastes long and it doesnt get slow if ur far from ur ps5 and if u have the plus acct u can use it anywhere where u have wifi.

I bought this specifically for streaming from my PS5 so I could let the family use the tv and I could do my thing anywhere in the house I had wifi. While it's use is limited to PS streaming it works absolutely wonderful for my needs. I bought an open box and I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it. The 8 inch screen is perfect and is crystal clear. The sound quality is also excellent. I have had very few connection issues and that's only been due to the plaster walls I have or hiccups in my mesh wifi. I love the fact it's incredibly light and the battery life is amazing, easily 4 hours or so playing darktide.

Well you can spend $500 to stream and remote play your games or spend $200. I tried the Xbox Rog Ally and it’s nice ergonomically but that’s where it stops for me. I even got it for $489 but to me it’s not ready and Windows 11 isn’t helping its case. With the PlayStation Portal no hassle or fuss unless you have bad internet but all in all I’m glad I made the switch.

A great product when I want to play PlayStation on the living room tv and my girlfriend wants to watch her shows at the same time. Before you buy though the product cast to your PlayStation so you’ll need good internet to use this product.

Do you have excellent wifi? And do you often find the tv your PS5 is connected to hogged by other family members? Then this is for you. I find that runs really well about 60% of the time where it's gorgeous and HD looking, about 30% of the time it runs well enough, and 10% it looks like a blurry drunken potato. Your wifi will effect this.

Purchased 6 months ago, use pretty often. Stable a strong WiFi is crucial for good experience streaming from console. Streaming from cloud is much more reliable and does not require as great connection. Joystick broke after I dropped it..oops.. warrant is having another sent no questions asked.

Pro’s - Smooth streaming experience if you’re paying for it. Remote play works great. Screen is amazing. Much lighter than you’d think. Buttons and sticks feel great. Drawbacks - Speakers aren’t awesome. Sony not allowing traditional Bluetooth connection for wireless audio is dumb, especially considering their pulse options are terrible.

This is in no way an official song handbeld lime a psp or the ps vita but if does allow you to remote play your ps4/5 games as well as join the cloud streaming beta so yoh can play backwards compatible games from the premium plus catalog if you have a premium membership. The PS Portal connected to my internet with zero problems. There was an instance where it wouldn’t connect but after a restart of both the ps5 and the portal the 2 devices connected again no problem. The better your wifi is in your home or whatever wifi yoh connect to the better your connection will be. So far this device has been an awesome handheld for playing my ps5 games in different rooms in my house. I would definitely recommt this device to any gamer looking to lound around in different areas of their homes or even gojng on vaction. Its very reliable in the experience I’ve had with the device. I can only see this getting better with future updates. Hopefully Sony will add an update to allow gamers to use any future bluetooth headset but for now the only thing gamers can do it shell out another $200 for proprietary earbuds with the PS Link technology to easily allow a connection for audio and chat or use a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Either way, i trust song will listen tk its community and make the correct decisions to make the device better in the future. For now, it is what it is. A remote play device designed to exacltly that and does a great job of doing.

Finally got the full setup, A PS5 Slim, a PS5 cooling station, and now this right here and next a second controller. Taking some time to get use of but I'm glad that I finally got to buy it before the last one sold out.

The best gift ever! Can play all your ps5 games remotely from anywhere. I think this product is extremely underrated. The only cons is if the wifi is slow the graphics get blurred, but otherwise there has been no lag issues so far. The screen size is perfect, and the product itself is lightweight to carry or hold for a long time.

The only two issue i have with this is 1. you definitely will need playstation plus premium for cloud gaming. 2. depending on where you at the game will lag and freeze with a strong mobile hot spot...

Pros: Seamless Remote Play: Lets you stream your PS5 games anywhere with Wi-Fi without needing to tie up your main TV. Portable PlayStation Experience: Feels like a dedicated PlayStation handheld with DualSense controls, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback. No Need to Buy Extra Games: Uses your existing PS5 library, so you don’t have to spend extra on new games. Instant Pairing with PS5: Super easy setup if you’re already in the PlayStation ecosystem. Best for Households Sharing a TV: Great if someone else is using the TV but you still want to play. Cons: Wi-Fi Dependent: No cloud gaming or offline play—needs a solid home Wi-Fi or fast internet to work well. No Native Apps: Can’t run games or apps like Netflix or YouTube natively—strictly for remote play. Battery Life: Around 4-6 hours depending on use—not bad, but not stellar. Limited to PS5 Owners: If you don’t already have a PS5, it’s essentially useless.

Very good i go to sony playstation get subcription my 2 grand son play thousand of game now with the subcription for 19 dollar a month. We do not have playstation 5 console so indecide to get subcription for now. Have very good variety of game for different ageis working fine. My grand kids really enjoy it.

While the presentation of the hardware is a bit janky, the overall software side is very nice and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I am able to stream from my PS5 to this device on my home wi-fi. It's great as I don't always have access to the tv. It's also nice that I can play PS4 games as well (on the ps5 of course). It basically is a mirrored display and works like the remote function from the ps vita. I was able to go into different rooms and the quality pretty much held with little to no input lag what so ever. There were moments of a blotchy image but it was very rare in the few hours I've played with it. Overall, if you are looking to remote play in your home without getting a secondary controller for your phone, this is a good option. I wish I could play games natively on it as playing psp and vita games would have been excellent for this. Oh well, a good remote device overall.

Fiance and I both got our own portals and it’s come in handy when trying to both game in the same room as we both have our own ps5s. It’s great that now we both can play our own games while watching a show or movie

Was hesitant at first that there would be lag because these work by essentially streaming the game however that proved to be very minor. I was surprised by just how little lag and how well it played. Bought it to take my gaming with me while I'm traveling and it works very well.

The screen looks great, gameplay is smooth, and it’s super easy to connect to your PS5. It’s perfect for playing when the TV is in use or when you just want to relax somewhere else. As long as you have a good Wi-Fi connection, it works really well. Great add-on for any PS5 owner!
