This thing is great!!! Wife can watch something on tv and I can play next to her on the couch so we still can spend time together. Haven’t experienced any lag but I do have my PS5 connected to the router via cat 5 cable and I’ve heard that helps with connectivity. Definitely recommended this thing if you travel and want to play or just want to let someone else use the tv.

I would give it 5 stars, however it does get a little laggy at times due to it streaming from PS5. I LOVE it and it works well for me, however if you are unable to hardwire your PS5 it may not be as fast as you want. I play red dead on it all night after my wife holds the living room TV hostage.

Only work to play video games no media netflix spotify youtube. I know it was a lot of confusion with this product but I tried this product work fine. yesterday sony update the portal and it’s working 100% stability. ( when I first got my portal it was a lot of problem connecting to my ps5 even in the same network close to the wifi I reset my wifi test everything and still having a lot problem connectig to my ps5 now with the new update only take around 25 seconds to conect to my ps5 the time on the console turn on. I hope they no lauch another update and mess up the stability base on my first experience I will give the product 3.5 stars but because they adressed the issue with the stability I will give this product 5 stars becuase they fix they main issue.

100% worth it. I find myself with more game time that I thought I would. I wanted to test it out…but I’m keeping it. There are some network things you gotta do, Ethernet cable to PS5, for better connectivity. But after that….works great!

I use the mobile hot spot on my phone. And the quality is amazing. Good collection of games.
So far ive used the wifi in the airport the quality is good. And used the wifi at school campus and the quality is good

It’s a great product, only really works if you have a good internet connection. I’d recommend buying a travel router to go along with it. But a hotspot can do but for only a limit amount of time.

Didn't like the fact that you have to have your ps5 in rest mode to use…it has been in the box for almost a year. When it was purchased in Feb 2025 I it was a total rip off, now it's Feb 2026 and got it out the box because I heard it was an update where you can buy a subscription, which I did and it's still not woat I though it was going to be.…don’t waste your money if you're a gamer.

Let’s talk about what this thing ISNT to clear confusion. It’s not a standalone game player, and it’s not even the type of device you take with you to play on the train, plane, or even on crappy hotel WiFi. If you want to buy for those reasons, you’ll be disappointed.
IF you’re a parent who doesn’t have the TV available in your home network, you want to play while laying in bed, or want to have quick sessions while holding a baby in one arm, then this is the device for you. With a strong local WiFi connection and a wired ps5, you’ll get excellent performance, true controller functionally, and a high fidelity screen. It’s worth it if you’re a member of a relatively slim target market.

I use this more than my PS5 pro. I stream my PS5 pro to my PS portal while I'm in bed. Which is great for those who have long work days and just want to relax in bed after work.

Ever get home and your significant other is using the TV while doomscrolling her phone and all you wanna do is level your material and catch moogles? But you can’t because the tv is in use! Look no further this controller has a screen in it and works fantastically with minimal latency for all your moogle minigame needs.

With the new updates the ps portal is so worth it. You don't need a PS5 even anymore to play it. Just get a subscription to playstation plus and as long as you have ok wifi you get a huge amount of games to play! Works amazing. I was never a fan of cloud gaming but this has changed my mind. And it's at a great price! If you have a PS5 it works out even greater cause you can play your library basically everywhere now

So at first when i bought this beauty it kept disconnecting and lagging. Time and a few patches later and it rocks! I looked up videos to optimize the peformance and by switching off HDR, and a few other tweaks it works well. Sometimes my orbi router needs a reboot to get this device rolling well, but it does. Its perfect for short gaming sessions for that gamer with a busy life. When it works its pretty awesome. Its just subject to internet bandwidth is low, during peak hours. Disconnects still happen but its nowhere near as bad as when it first launched.
