I love the portal. As long as you have decent internet connected to your PS5 and decent wifi wherever the portal is connected it works very well. I play 30 miles from home regularly with minimal lag even online gaming works with very little to no lag. And now that you don't even need a ps5 just a premium plus subscription makes this device all the better.

My son loves the fact of being able to walk around the house playing his game.

When everything works the portal is great but even with a wired connection from the PS5 there is sometimes some image breakup or fuzziness. Overall pleased but definitely have to consider it for what it is.

3.5 star rating for PS Portal

The PS Portal has a beautiful display with high resolution. The controls feel just like a PS5 controller. Battery Life was longer than I expected. This product only falls short with its WiFi capabilities. Seem that the only way to avoid disconnecting, resolution loss, freezing and pixelation is to be on a strong home WiFi network. Even if your cell phone hotspot reads at 100+ meg net speed. The wireless signal isn’t sufficient to avoid all these problems I encountered. Limiting the portability aspect which is a big let down. Another thing I wasn’t aware of is that you PS5 has to be on at home while you use on the go. I’m leaning more to a 3.5 star rating tbh. The PS Portal would easily be a 5 star if it worked on cell networks without trouble but this is not what I found to be the case.

Thanks to the ststem update on 11/19/2024, you can play stream from the cloud server without connecting to PS5 if you are a PlayStation Plus Premium member. The choice is limited, and they say that this is still a beta test, but it works! The save data are stored in the cloud and synchronized to PS5, so you can play seamlessly with both consoles. I am on a vacation away from home, but I can play at the hotel without flustrations. Hope this would be the official function and the choice of games will be increased.

This works way better than expected. I play this at work with work wifi while connected to my ps5 which is 20 mins away from me

Even though its not a stand alone system this is the product we needed. I love this thing. I can be hundreds of miles from home but as long as i have a decent connection to wifi i can hop ont my PS5 with remote play but what truly made this a five star product was the addition of cloud gaming and so far sony and the Playstation brand have done it well. Until we get a new PSP this will have to do and its not a compromise.
