needs improvement for it to be a native remote player for ps5. a better/stronger wifi chip and higher bitrate could improve this. cloud stream is nice and offers a better consistency than remote play. if you have strong really good wifi with no network interruptions this can beat out the cloud stream. negative side is needing ps plus highest tier to use cloud play even if you own or bought the games. also if you’re gonna remote play from your ps5 please make sure to connect your ps5 via ethernet and put the portal on 5ghz network indefinitely with not a lot of congestion

Looks and feels great, but playing PS5 games streaming or remote takes a lot of connectivity and lags even with very good wireless signal.

Very nice device. Works amazingly at home with crystal clear graphics. When away from home, graphics drop significantly but I haven’t had any issues with lag.

Great product and definitely meant for those who want to play their PlayStation 5 games when on the go. I would strongly recommend you do your research though if this is worth it for you as it differs between each individual. Only cons I’ve actually had was that it wasn’t an OLED screen and being that I had a OLED tv I was spoiled. Overall I would still strongly recommend it!

This PlayStation portable is a very good product. Just make sure that you have good Wi-Fi to backup this product. Just so everyone isn't aware, this is an add-on to your PS5 not a substitute for your PS5. You do need a PS5 system to play this PlayStation portable. That going ahead setup is super easy. I just jumped into a quick YouTube just to make sure that I did it right and then signed into my PlayStation on the PlayStation portable and jumped right in the gameplay. Initially it was a little laggy until a portable was able to get onto my Wi-Fi and play. So it is very Wi-Fi dependent. Gameplay seamless. Fantastic. I had black myth wukong and The new Star Wars outlaw as well as destiny. And it was able to keep up with the gameplay. Fantastic system. Enjoy taking it on the road. But just remember the further you get away from your system. It does take a little bit longer to connect. But overall fantastic by

I loved using this device, I recently had a newborn which made it hard to play videogames but this solved that issue.

Perfect for gamers who want to game but can’t because the TV is occupied, sleek design that feels great in hand, great quality and a very nice screen. Just make sure you have good internet before purchasing or else this product is useless.

I really like the PlayStation portal but if you really wanna enjoy it you need to be on good wifi for both your ps5 and the portal. So it’s only good if you have amazing wifi and if there is a storm at all or anything it just doesn’t really work. It’s better to me to use the ps4 or 5 to stream from another ps5 to the system. It would be a lot better if it say had built in data or you could download games to it rather than just streaming.

I love the Portal and its portability. I hate that you HAVE TO HAVE IT CONNECTED TO YOUR PS5 and it’s not Cloud streaming(they haven’t ruled it out in the future). The Portal has a great display and uses same form factor of the PS5 Dualsense with the addition of a huge screen in the middle. I will say the Analog sticks are 1/3 smaller than the console DualSense though and that may be an issue to some.
Now to the service….
Sony hasn’t released a patch or an update to support the bit rate of the Portal to match the console(understandable to a degree) so it causes an issue at times with gameplay and the mismatch bitrates.
Lastly, the lack of update has made it somewhat of a paperweight in some cases. A lot of people play seamlessly but others aren’t so lucky because of the Portal disconnecting every 10 secs. It’s really a luck of the draw if it’ll work for you but if it does, it’s well worth it. If it doesn’t then you may want to return it or wait til a software update/patch comes to plug the holes.
Great device. Just needs some TLC from Sony. They’ve been practically hush about it besides them being surprised it sold more than they originally thought
