Silky and buttery smooth with the 4.0 update

I absolutely love this device. Sony hit it out of the park with the design. However, it was a rocky implementation at first. There was crazy lag and jittery jits you had to deal with occasionally. However, this has all changed after the 4.0 OS update. Not only has the delay been resolved (no more jittery jits) but now you dont even have to connect to your PS5/PS4. The portal can now stream cloud games. Sony is beta testing now and its awesome! Highly recommended buying.

Pretty neat device, seems very fragile though so if you're rough with your stuff get a good case. I'm able to hotspot with my phone and use this while traveling with very little interruptions. However I use 5g and my PS5 is connected via Ethernet. So do your research before purchasing

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.

Great product when it’s working! I had an initial issue with lagging and WiFi which seems to be sorted out through the most recent updates. Randomly now my right joystick isn’t working which also seems to be a known ongoing issue via Reddit. When it’s working though I’ve had lots of fun. As a dad of two young kids I just don’t have the time to turn on my console anymore. This has been nice because they can watch TV and I can casually game. Hopefully we can get this resolved through Sony.

Very good graphics, it takes some doing to get it connected, so you're going to have to contact PlayStation.
Technical support? Were there going to help you change a couple things in the network? So you can open it up without it continually lagging, and then you're going to have to call whoever you're Internet provider is, and you're going to have to have them open up some portals so that the playStation portal will work without any lagging issues.
Promising Concept, but Connectivity Issues Held It

After seeing so many positive reviews and knowing how flawlessly my PS5s run, I thought the PlayStation Portal would be a no-brainer. My consoles are hardwired, so I expected a smooth experience—but unfortunately, I ran into significant lag that made even single-player offline games nearly unplayable.
To be fair, this may be a result of my internet service provider, but I tested alternative remote play solutions (like apps on my computer), and those worked without issue. Further I pay for higher speeds and I do not have this issue to other devices. When the Portal did work, I really enjoyed the experience—it has a lot of potential.
Ultimately, though, the inconsistent performance was too frustrating, and I ended up returning it. I genuinely hope future updates or hardware iterations resolve these issues, because the concept is great.
