Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing condition. Great delivery. Great updates with tracking.

My son loves his “PlayStation on the go”as he calls it. There’s only one minor issue, the battery life isn’t that long but it’s a great product overall

Given that (when I had it) you were only able to stream directly from your PS5 - it worked well. The screen looked good enough, and it is super comfortable to hold and play with. However, since then they have updated it to be able to do Cloud Gaming I'm pretty sure, which is actually a pretty big game-changer.

Update your ps5 to ensure it can be paired with the portable. Otherwise, it is what we expected and my child loves it.

My son loved it, it was a birthday present. Súper practical to take anywhere.

Sony really upgraded this so much this year with the software updates. Being able to play games directly from cloud is awesome. This feels like a standalone handheld device now.

I thoroughly enjoy using the PlayStation Portal. I bought it to be able to play while my wife and son watch TV in our living room. Single player games seem to be fine, a little bit of input lag in MLB the show when pitching and swinging. I have not tried FPS games yet. This may not be the best option for competitive games, but if you want to get a gaming session in and you're trying not to always alienate yourself from your family. This is a great option.

I’ve really enjoyed the Portal thus far. I had to really be on point when trying to purchase the last couple months with people scalping the hell out of them which is unfortunate for those who are truly interested. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Portability - not the smallest device but it’s small enough to serve as something you can bring anywhere Comfort - Dual Sense is one of the best parts of this build. It looks weird, I will not deny that. But it’s so practical you wonder why others haven’t done this. Screen size is about perfect. Quality is what you’d expect from Sony. Brightness is VERY bright and the color saturation is good. Speakers are actually pretty good for a portable. Louder than I had expected I have not experienced any issues with packet loss while playing on my home network. I don’t have anything special for wireless. Cons: The lack of first party accessories. I know Sony came out and listed this as more of an experimental product, but I’m a little surprised they didn’t take advantage of providing 1st party accessories. The stuff on Amazon is fine and works (cases and screen protectors), but it would have been nice to have from Sony. Cost for some may steer them to the backbone.. and although the backbone is a fine product, it doesn’t compare to this for the overall experience. And you don’t have to give up your phone. Overall for what Sony advertises this product as, it fits the bill perfectly. I don’t think it’s for everyone. People who don’t have a dedicated gaming space like me and often times are splitting the tv amongst your family, this is the closest you can get to perfect. Highly recommended.. until the Vita 2 comes out. One can hope!

My husband love it, works even when he is in a different city.

Excellent product and best gadget ever loved it gaming

Good product just needs internet to use it and also plus to get more benefits

If you have PSN premium this thing is all you need, you can play it like a backbone without your console running

For the open box pricing this device is a steal. Even at full price it’s worth consideration now that PlayStation has updated it to be possible to use without a PS5, you just need a subscription to use cloud gaming from Sony and you’re set.

The PlayStation Portal is unfortunately not a great option for FPS gamers due to several limitations. The most significant issue is noticeable input lag, which makes precise aiming and quick reactions difficult. This problem is compounded by connectivity issues; even with a strong connection (my internet 500 mbps) to the modem, the Portal tends to lag whenever you move even slightly away from the router. These combined factors make playing fast paced, competitive FPS games on the Portal a frustrating experience.

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.

Great device. My son loves it. He is able to play on his ps5 account now while traveling.

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.

Love it so far, just wish it had native Bluetooth capability.

I was very indifferent on buying the portal but after trying it out, it is definitely worth the price if you ever wanted to play your PS5 in handheld mode. The screen has really good colors and brightness even for a LCD screen!

This is a great extension of the at home system to have away from home!
