The setup process was a breeze and the built quality was great. Would definitely recommend this to someone wanting to play away from their desk setup or TV screen. The digital touchpad (on screen) was a let down for me, and I would prefer for the touchpad to be incorporated somehow similar to the dualshock 5 controller.

What an amazing piece of hardware this is, when I’m traveling and there is wifi present i am gaming, your console has to be left on in rest mode in order to connect to your ps5 at home.

Great item for remote play. The screen is sufficiently big for open world games. The control handles are just as the PS5 controllers. Easy to set up and only needs WiFi. It can have some lagging depending on how fast your WiFi is. All in all it’s a great product

Great device when you’re PS5 is plugged into the internet. Some dumb decisions tho. Why no Bluetooth? Thats crazy. And the volume and brightness do not go low enough for nighttime seshes. Still a great PS5 companion if you want to play wherever

I love my playstation portal. Being able to play on the go as well as in other rooms or while my partner is using the TV is amazing. There's a reason these are so challenging to get and its because if you're someone who is more on the go it allows you to continue playing your favorite games.

This is a great addition for playing your PS5 games away from the ps5. You can play multiplayer games, but fast pace games like Call of Duty are hard do to a slight lag. I was able to play madden multiplayer with no problem. If you are a parent or person alway out of the hoyse, this is a great accessory for the price

I was excited for this. I primarily got this to play my PS5 in different rooms, rather than having to lug the console around. I'm a bit of a tech snob, I play on an OLED and I lean towards performance when given the option.
I used it a few times - I have a hardwired PS5 and good wifi (500MB). When I was in the room with the playstation, it was great connectivity but even traveling to other rooms, the image quality did break a little. Never prevented me from playing, but shook my confidence in the device. Otherwise, the 1080 screen was beautiful, and the games I played in 60fps looked great.
I love how it felt to hold - extremely comfortable and really helped with the immersion factor.
The battery life is pretty bad - maybe 3-4 hours on default settings. Reducing haptic feedback or volume can get you a bit more, but I love the haptic feedback feature and usually like to crank it. That being said, even at full power, the haptics on this device are much more subtle compared to playing on a regular controller.
Finally, small thing, but the trackpad button on this is a bit non-intuitive -- touching the screen opens up the trackpad button on screen overlayed atop the game and isn't super easy to work with.
At the end of the day, this is a streaming device that your PS5 casts to, and as such provides a diluted experience from the full power of playing on console on a nice TV with haptics cranked up. I love the concept, and it does allow portable play, but for the cost, I personally would rather just save up the extra cash for a second PS5 to be able to play elsewhere.

After many months I was finally able to the Portal! This thing is awesome. It's so nice being able to play my games anywhere around the house now. It works flawlessly & it's a great addition to your PS5 setup.

Works and pairs well with the ps5 to allow for a more portable play session. Having a higher quality internet is a must to keep a stable picture and jitter free experience. Feels wonderful in the hands while playing. Could be a little cheaper.

I really like playing this portal as i wasn’t interested earlier to be honest but since i watched their reviews and videos online and started kinda liking it so i just gave it a shot and bought it from bestbuy as it was hard to find those but luckily i did get one from them and i love this portal and feel great to have it

I really like it, I know there’s more options to stream your ps5 but once you’re able to do it on the portal you see the difference right away. The dualsense controller is the original experience and nothing can match it except this, the screen is great also.

It is a really good item if you spend a lot of time out of the house but the device depends on the WiFi signal on both your PS5 and your portal. If the signal on either are interrupted or poor it doesn’t work well.
