I like that the screen is a respectable size and its really clear and games and cutscenes are super clean and my favoritepart is having a ps5 on the go

I fine but you need a good WiFi connection to play and it takes a while to connect and if you don’t have a strong connection the screen will freeze and then you have to reconnect it again

I use this daily to play my ps5 while my wife is watching tv. Now there's no fighting over the tv or a need for a second one!

Cool but it’s VERY slow if your WiFi isn’t 100% it looks awesome though lol

I love the PlayStation Portal but I have a specific use case. My PS5 is in my living room and I want to play PS5 while in the bedroom while watching TV. This works well for this. The feel of the device feels great and it has a nice, large screen. I tried to use things like the Backbone but could never find a screen that was this large that would fix the Backbone. I really need to bigger screen to play these PS5 games. I can see this device could be a problem for someone that wants to play PS5 games outside the home. I have never tried doing this and don't see a use case where I would need to do that at this time.

If you are looking for something to allow you to play around the house or on vacation this is the handheld for you. Playstation has launched a beta program if you have playstation plus premium that allows you to play games without a console. Pretty cool.

This is for my grandson’s Christmas gift. I have not open yet.

I love it and its fast the only problem is the connected timeout . No problem lacks when it comes to being connected through the PlayStation 5

The PS Portal is an interesting device, the pros are it has a massive touch screen and everything is very sleek. However this only being a portal device and not a portable console makes this only worth about $120 and not the $200 price tag. I only bought it cause of an open box price of $130. The whole thing even has a good operating system and begs the question why it couldn’t be a portable console. If you can scoop one up cheap it’s not bad. However make sure you have a good hot spot or good wifi wherever you go and playing high demand games will cause a fuzzy screen from time to time.

I love the design and idea. It’s quite frustrating it’s only cloud streaming. Wish games could be downloaded and played without WiFi

works great with good wifi so no problems. i used it while on vacation

Very reliable. It’s worth buying! It worth the price.

This is literally too bad overall because I LOVED THIS THING. It really really really needs it's own connectivity (besides a hotspot or a travel router) for on the go gaming. Other than that, it was perfect. It's great if you are sitting in the same room as your PS5 or even perhaps in another room or even outside (depending on your setup). It just really needs it's own feed. If an ASUS steam deck and the portal had a baby, I'd buy it.

I got tired of always playing my PS5 in front of the TV. This device fixed that. It is solid construction, well balanced, comfortable, lightweight and has a beautiful screen. Battery life is excellent and it comes with the Dual sense/haptic feedback we all love. $200 is a reasonable price (considering a Backbone is $100). I use this device a lot. I do need a hardwired connection before attempting to play it outside the home. Time will tell if the controller gets stick drift. 5 stars for now.

This thing is great. I have kids so they are most of the time watching movies or playing their own games. With the portal I can just let my kids do their own thing and be able to play some games while in bed or on the couch. Sometimes even at work.

Works great and I use it all the time because the tv I have my PS5 hooked up to is the prinary tv for the house. I do have a few issues. 1. You can’t change profiles easily, you have to sign out of your account on the portal and sign into another. 2. You can’t watch videos on it. I wouldn’t have expected this to be a problem but some games have cutscenes or short scenes that can’t be viewed on the portal. 3. Accessory options, I’d like a case and a screen protector or maybe a clip on power bank made for the portal but there aren’t many options. The few options i did find aren’t official.

Got good wifi. Get good steams. A fun addition tothe PS5 family of peripherals.

This may not be for everyone but for me it’s perfect. This device is mainly if you want to play on bed or if you have someone wanting to use the tv and you want to play. It has great build quality and I haven’t had any technical problems. My only complaint is I tried playing away from home but no internet is strong enough but in my opinion whose really gonna leave there house with it

Sony should really reconsider how cloud gaming works for this unit, even with high speed internet 300mbps Up & Down still had connectivity issues with the portal playing remote play was even worse , no one needs to be an IT Network Technician with a CCNA certification to troubleshoot just to play the game by changing settings on router and the console. Xbox got it right even with 3rd party had held devices and playstaion with their own proprietary unit still got it wrong!!

Any review complaining about connectivity or latency issues and all due to an incorrectly configured network. With my PS5 hardwired via ethernet to my modem, and high quality router, and a low number of devices connected to my network’s 5 ghz band, this device is flawless. I love to game, but also don’t want to be cooped up in my office all the time. I can sit in the living room, be around my family, have some background TV on, and pop onto my PS Portal to play some games when we are all winding down. Extremely satisfied with this device. It’s lightweight, nice battery life, and a beautiful screen.
