Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product I used to have it but then sold & re bought this and I absolutely love it !!! And at a good price ? Can’t go wrong

Thourally enjoying remote play with the portal. With the upgrades tonits cloud streaming, its truly a worthwhile device.

I love it very much, I exceed my expectations, totally impressive.

Amazing purchase this gets used daily !!! My boyfriend loves it and it allows him more play time since he can play in bed vs having to sit at his desk and play!

Good product if you don't have a dedicated TV to play games on. Streaming is ok, but streams from PS5 box - I am not yet able to get games to stream otherwise.

I was reluctant to get this because i couldn't answer the question "what is it for?" Not in the sense of it's function, but it's usage... It's a remote player for a console already in your house, why would I need that? I've seen a few usage cases that i would say justify the purchase, and once you have it in your hands you kind of start to see how useful it could be. That side, the hardware is really nice, good build quality, the screen is quite good and pleasantly sized. I, once the thing actually worked, have me a new imperceptible lag on input. The only gripe I really have, as alluded to previously, it getting it to work. With my PS5 and the Portal on the same 5Ghz wifi, in the same room as the router, I got disconnects, poor video quality, and horrible lag. Once I put the PS5 on a network cable the Portal started working perfectly! It's a really niche product, but under the right circumstances and with the right usage case, I'd recommend it.

The Portal's latest update means you dont even need a PS5 anymore, as long as you are a PS+ Premium Subscriber. The ability to stream (your own) games is well worth it now.

When the internet connection is good, it runs fantastically. However with a sub optimal connection it can be a pretty rough experience. Charge lasts for a while and is very comfortable to hold while laying down.

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

If you already have a Steam Deck, Ally, or any handheld, you're better off using Chiaki or Remote Play. You're only streaming at 15mbps max. Any motion, especially on the low quality LCD the portal is using, is gonna look like a smeary mess. Using Chiaki on my Steam Deck Oled, I can bump up the quality to 30mbps with roughly 2-5ms of input latency just like the Portal.

It’s a cool thing, the device was open box, it was still clean though, I haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve took it on my 1st trip and it worked like it was supposed to. If I had to I would by an open box item again. The value and quality was so worth it.

It is a nice looking piece of tech. It don’t take much to connect it to your PS5 and start playing. A couple issues is that even with good internet, it gets spotty and frame rate drops, and if you have an update in the background, yikes. And I wish the joysticks was the same size of the dualsense controllers, but that’s just a personal issue. It’s convenient when I want to watch a show and still play the game, hopefully it gets better the more supportive updates comes along.

It is laggy if you have a bad wifi signal make sure your PS5 is plugged in with a lan cable and change your settings to 1080p on the PS5 for remote play. It needs an update so you can watch movies saved on your PS5 plus it would be nice if you could use you own wireless headsets instead of the PlayStation ones.

Love my portal! The cloud gaming update is great! It’s given me the ability to play my favorite games in bed which has allowed me the opportunity to finally get to complete some games I otherwise couldn’t get around to completing. Screen quality is good, the remote feels just like the dual sense although the sticks might be marginally smaller. The stream quality is great, I have decent internet so I don’t have really any issues apart from the occasional quick lag spike which is maybe once every 2 hours. Wish we had the ability to hook up any Bluetooth headset ,but you can get a Bluetooth 3.5mm headset dongle and that solves that issue, if they update that I’ll change my review to 5 stars but for now I have to give it a 4 star.

Works perfectly and makes it super easy to play anywhere

I have loved the portal! I use it to play more story mode games so not really sure how it does with multiplayer games. I bought to bring to work so I can play during my breaks. Its been perfect for that!

Works as intended but your experience is only as good as your wifi connection...

Love it, great for gaming, light weight, easy to game for someone with smaller hands or a kid. amazing display. just remember, you have to have a PS5 to use it!

I love the fact that i can be on the go and connect to my ps5 at home.

It’s neat. Really wish it could be used offline too. Adding the streaming option is nice so long as you got decent internet. The joy sticks are too loose.
