Its just a handheld controller with a screen it does everything you would expect has good visuals and pretty solid frame rate when on a good wifi it’s basically just a switch in handheld mode. But when on iffy wifi it doesn’t work great it has bad visuals lokking very blurry and the lag is rough haven’t tried it out of the house to see how long connections work for it but if you have bad wifi it will not work well so if thats your situation then definitely should pass on this one.

From the the first day he opened it my son has been love with his portable, it was delivered on time, service was excellent, and working perfectly. Thanks great job.
Excellent accessory, but may not be useful for all

If you have the PSN streaming feature, this becomes extremely valuable since then you can continue using this independently of the actual Play Station, so you can stream something directly while the PS is being used for something else. The screen is a decent size, and the controller still manages to feel very natural despite the wider grip.
I personally found playing racing games difficult just because of how I move my hands, but RPGs especially are super fun to run on this.
That being said, my brother returned his purely because he hardly used it. It is somewhat of a niche for this to actively be used. If your usage is still primarily the main console or you don't move around enough to justify this, then it will just gather dust. So I think it's worth checking out your play flow to see if it's actually useful.

In despite of all tech reviewers, this is a surprisingly good idea from Sony. By capturing the basic need of anyone who owns a PS5 and can barely play on it because you as an owner insists to show it off in the living room. Well, problem solved! It feels like a tied sale, but what the heck? I can now play my PS5 with a fair quality and great ergonomics from the comfort of my toilet. A pity it can’t connect to PS4

Awesome way to game while my kids are using the TV! No doubt takes credit for finishing my first game of the year. Open box seriously seemed brand new. Was amazed by the new update allowing cloud streaming for PS+ Premium member

The screen is amazing. Being able to play my PS5 games while traveling or when im laying in bed while it is in a different room is amazing. It is surprising comfortable in the hands.

Good around the house, no connection issues. Probably wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have good WiFi though. There were too many software updates when you first use it, but after that no issues.

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player does exactly what it sets out to do — provide a premium remote-play experience for your PS5. It nails the controller-feel, screen size, and ergonomics. However, it doesn’t attempt to be everything (and that’s both its strength and its limitation). Because it’s heavily dependent on network conditions and the PS5 remains the “engine”, you’ll only get the best experience if your infrastructure is up to scratch.
So, if you’re a PS5 user, you have a good home network, and you frequently find yourself wanting to play away from the TV — go for it. But if you were hoping for a full handheld console alternative to the PS5, you might be underwhelmed.
