Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is possibly one of the best pieces of technology I’ve purchased in a long time. It works effortlessly to connect to my PS5 and allows me the flexibility to play the games I want anywhere in my home without having to move the console. I love playing on the big screen but with some games this sometimes causes motion sickness over prolonged periods of intense game play. The Portal allows me to play in between, and reduces that sense of motion sickness. The quality of the handheld is amazing, and the screen is big, bright, and gorgeous. The ergonomics of the grips are fantastic. It feels exactly like a Dualsense controller despite the added distance between the left and right grips due to the large screen. Battery life seems to be pretty normal, I have had no issues with it depleting faster than I need it to. The only improvement I could suggest is the placement of the USB-C charging port. It’s a little difficult getting it plugged in under the lip of the back of the device. It would be better suited to the top of the handheld so you don’t have to “dig” to get it in the port, and it would make it easier to charge while the device is still in use. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the Portal and I am excited to use it away from home when they bring game streaming out of beta. If you have been thinking about purchasing a Portal, do it. You will not regret it.

I bought this device for my significant other and he loves it! It connects seamlessly with our home console for on the go use and has good audio quality. The traditional controller buttons make this device familiar and easy to use. The device does feel fragile when not in use. so we did find a great carrying case and screen protector for some added protection. Great buy!

Really enjoy the graphics. The connection can be spotty sometimes but overall i enjoy using it

"Portable PlayStation fun, smooth remote gameplay!"

It is extremely useful. It is a remote play so PS5 is needed to remotely access, but it connects better than any other device used for remote playing. The display is crystal clear and it keeps the viauals of the conaole so if used with a PS5 Pro it will look just as good. It also has a fearure to stream games directly from PS plus cloud.

The item is great. have had no issues and the quality is top tier. sony did a great job.

I usually do not do reviews, but I absolutely love this device and the Midnight Black color! It is a great way to play your PS5 games in handheld mode and catch up on that nagging backlog. My PS5 console had been collecting dust recently due to my busy life schedule but since buying the portal I have not picked up my Switch 2 in days. I also love the cost of the device as well given how expensive gaming has become as of late.

This is a great addition to having a PS5. Streaming could service games as well direct from hardware works without a hitch. Have used in variety of internet scenarios, home/hotel/cell hotspot, without any major issues. Its great to play in places other then in front of the TV. Patio, travel, etc.

My spouse loves this portable ps5 so we can ply together in the living room and I can watch tv, it’s easy to use and has a nice appearance, duplicating the design of an actual 50inch screen with beautiful clarity!

Really cool and glad I copped one, especially now that I dont really need a PS+ account to use it, I can access all purchsed games in my library. Amazing and really dope handheld and perfext companion to the PS5.

Good purchase and elegant device! It works good and i can play abroad now!

This device truly is just a portal to access your PS5 games when not sitting directly in front of it. I was planning to buy a new gaming controller and ended deciding on this instead and it's been a nice addition. Streaming quality varies and affects gaming sessions, so I don't recommend for any competitive gamers.

We love love this playstation portal! My husband and i sometimes hangout just doing our own thing. But it sucks when i wanna watch my show but he wants to play his game. So, the playstation portal has been so awesome in letting us hangout but doing our own individual thing. Also helps when our 1 year old demands to watch Bluey lol

I wanted the PS Portal when it initially released. With all the complaints and downfalls prior to the new update I was kind of glad I didn’t buy initially. Now that I can connect to Hotel and other public type networks and stream games I don’t own with cloud gaming (Requires PS Plus Premium) I’m overly satisfied with this device….only thing I wish worked was other media players like Netflix, YouTube that I have on my on PS5. Definitely something to own if you love gaming on the go!!!

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers a satisfactory streaming experience for PlayStation catalog titles; however, its functionality is unreliable when attempting to stream games directly from a PS5 console. The root cause, whether hardware or software-related, remains undetermined, as connection attempts frequently yield inconsistent results irrespective of network conditions.

Wow! This is much better than expected. My PS5 is hard-wired via Ethernet, and this connects to the same router as the PS5 via Wifi. I have never had any lag or speed issues. Even though the screen is IPS, it's still bright and colorful, and I had no problems playing any of my titles. Lightweight, pleasant in the hand to hold. Now I'm not restricted to the chair and TV; I can lie on the couch, lie in bed on these cold nights, and play. I love these thing, I have the Legion Go 2, totally different product I know, but for my use, I prefer this and it's a 10th of the cost

Great device for handheld, on-the-go play. The controller feels comfortable and solid in the hand, and the screen looks amazing with vibrant visuals. Gameplay is enjoyable overall, especially when traveling or playing casually. Cons: Connectivity can sometimes be difficult to get working smoothly, and I do experience occasional lag during gameplay. That said, my Wi-Fi setup may be contributing to the lag, so results could vary depending on connection quality.

Purchased open box for $140. And for that price a great supplement to the PS5. Remote play and cloud streaming requires a solid internet connection, and can be spotty if you dont have full signal, even with 2Gbps Fiber, so make sure you are close to your router. But for a gamer dad, this device allows me to play games casually more than ever. Just dont expect to reliably play multiplayer games due to latency. However, ive been playing Arc Raiders through cloud streaming to do low risk loot raids when my familiy’s using the TV and its been a blast.

I believe this product is good for individuals that prefer laid back games that do not require high performance. Its perfect for laying back on the couch with family , wife , kids etc, or taking it to bed to be more comfortable. As long as one has high speed internet the perfomance is soild.

I was concerned about the Portal's ability to provide a smooth playing experience, considering all I'd read online. In use, I've been very pleased - particularly with the streaming option. Using our home internet (which is fiber but has plenty of other devices connected) streaming quality is smooth and fun. A little slower response for games played remotely from the PS5 but still playable as well. Worth it so far!
