This works way better than expected. I play this at work with work wifi while connected to my ps5 which is 20 mins away from me

I love this thing! It works seemlessly. I have a direct line from my playstation to my router so the performance on my Portal is excellent. I recommend keeping your game settings on performance mode for the best experience. The set up was also very simple. I was gaming in less than 5 minutes after updates. Its also surprisingly light and the controllers are legit PS5 controllers. If you have to share the tv or if you like gaming while laying in bed, you need to check this thing out!

Using this while my family uses the tv is a win in my books. Need good WiFi but regardless it does what it needs to do

Purchased last month and the item works as expected

Let me start off by saying that the portal in concept is awesome, but in my time with it i foujd that it did not live up to what i expected. I know this is technically a streaming device only and nothing gets played on the portal natively but i feel like i should not have had the experience i had with it with the internet speeds i have. I see people posting YouTube videos saying they can technically play the device anywhere as long as they have Wifi which definitely did not work for me. I brought it to a friends house and never connected to my ps5 that was in rest mode at home. And even my experience at home was not great i had to go in change a bunch of settings in my portal and my router settings to make it work just a little bit better. Even with what i looked up and changed it still wasnt the greatest experience. Sooo anyways when it works its mind blowing to play God of War on a handheld at 60fps buuut in most case the connection was so bad i would get disconnected mutliple times in a session when i was in the room NEXT to my router, didnt even work downstairs for me. So if you want something you can just turn on and play without having to think then this is probably not for you. I am returning mine after some weeks and opting to get the steam deck instead.

“I absolutely love the PlayStation Portal. It offers a seamless gaming experience with its impressive graphics and responsive controls. The design is sleek and comfortable, making long gaming sessions enjoyable. The connectivity is reliable, and it syncs effortlessly with my PlayStation console. Overall, the PlayStation Portal is a fantastic addition to any gamer’s collection, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Highly recommended!

The remote play works great and now they have added the ability to stream games directly through PlayStation plus. Great product

This is the perfect option for my current lifestyle. I have a son who takes over the tv and I’m able to use my portal while he watches his cartoons. I can play for a decent amount of time without having to worry about the battery life which is also good. I haven’t tried to use it outside of my home, but I believe for my situation it’s being used for what I believe Sony intended to be used for and that’s all I need.

I bought this thinking it was the second coming of the PSP. My intention was to be able to multitask with the PS5 by playing games on the portable and streaming on the tv. Did not know it could only mirror. That was disappointing for me. I like the concept, but it wasn’t what I was looking for.

It’s made by Sony-so of course it will outshine the 3rd Party Competition. Yes you could use a Steam Deck to get close to the same experience on OLED, but let’s be honest why would you pay more? I wish the screen was OLED, but it’s simple and it works. It lags on occasion when out of home network, but it’s to be expected. Overall it’s new and I’m sure Sony will release future updates to alleviate issues. PARENTS I’m sure some have discovered you NEED a PlayStation 5 for this work. This is not a Nintendo Switch.

It’s a nice remote player since I remote play my ps5 using my ipad and a controller. Only downside is you need a really good internet connection.

I bought this for my fiancé so he could spend time with me while playing. It has been amazing so far. Highly recommend if you are the side piece in the relationship with a man and his console.

I’m really enjoying my portable PS 5 , I love the fact that o can play my system any on the go! Thank you Best Buy for a great buy and great customer service

Awesome device to use when you dont wanna be glued to the TV

Wow, with all the hate around this, I was a little worried it would be a dust collector. Nope! Sony, good job with this, and I can't wait for updates. I know you all have more to come. Yes, I have more than one TV, but the fact that I don't have to be stuck at my TV in my game room is amazing. Downstairs with the family as they watch TV. Amazing! Sayless

Works great! Made an excellent gift. User loves the screen’s clear display and that it feels like the controller.

I was so happy I got one and I use it much more than I anticipated! As a father with 3 kids in the house all competing for the television, the Portal frees me up to be able to sit with them and still enjoy the full power of my PS5. The screen and controls just fit so comfortably in my hands and I love being able to move around the house as needed while still having access to my games. It was hard to get my hands on one of these but it was so worth the weight! Love my Portal!

Super cool and easy to use. Recommend good wifi other than that it’s awesome!

Great for getting away from the couch and playing my game in bed, on the go, or at a friends place

Fun handheld system that my daughter loves to play sims.
