I know we can use our phone and a Backbone or Dual sense for remote play. The problem is that you’ll get a text but when you exit out tou have to reconnect, if someone calls you youll be kicked out. My favorite way was with a laptop, but it is not every time that tou can use just pop a laptop in the break room and take out a controller like that. It is not hard to use remote play dont get me wrong. The thing is this device is dedicated just for that. You take it out connect to the WiFi and you are all set. 1 problem might be, you have to have your PS5 on a good internet(WIRED is the best). If you use a hotspot a 5Guw will provide the max experience. The Sad part is this devise has too much potential for just that. Hopefully we can do more with it.

I absolutely love this device. Sony hit it out of the park with the design. However, it was a rocky implementation at first. There was crazy lag and jittery jits you had to deal with occasionally. However, this has all changed after the 4.0 OS update. Not only has the delay been resolved (no more jittery jits) but now you dont even have to connect to your PS5/PS4. The portal can now stream cloud games. Sony is beta testing now and its awesome! Highly recommended buying.

This is a great produce. The screen is awesome, the controls feel natural and just like the regular PS5 controller. I have had no connection issues and it stays connected to the PS5 well.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that it seems like it could easily have more functionality to work without connecting to a console or the PlayStation Plus library (apps, media, etc).

When this was first purchased I wasn't completely sold on the idea. I really ended up enjoying the Portal. Now that Playstation has implemented more cloud streaming you don't even have to have a Playstation 5 anymore to use this!

The PS Portal is a game changer. It's not only a great way to play your PS5 games while someone else is watching TV, it's also great to stream away from home (as long as you have a strong wifi signal). The design looked a bit odd to me at first, cutting a DualSense controller in half and putting a screen in between, but it offers great comfort for long handheld gaming sessions. The battery life is also very strong.

You need excellent wifi in order to play without A TON of lag. Especially for COD. Games like Resident evil, and God of War are playable with really good signal on hot spot, but the input delay is extremely noticeable. While paired with the ps5, sitting right beside it, and running on 1 Gig fiber optic; the delay is still pretty noticeable. The system itself is great quality though.

Great product when it’s working! I had an initial issue with lagging and WiFi which seems to be sorted out through the most recent updates. Randomly now my right joystick isn’t working which also seems to be a known ongoing issue via Reddit. When it’s working though I’ve had lots of fun. As a dad of two young kids I just don’t have the time to turn on my console anymore. This has been nice because they can watch TV and I can casually game. Hopefully we can get this resolved through Sony.

Eh it’s not that great. If you’re the only one in your house using the network, it’s great, even if one other person is gaming, it was miserable to use with the lag.
