Never having the best connection with remote play on any device I’ve used, and while it could just be my internet, the Portal has far exceeded my expectations. While I do have occasional connection issues, the devices connection to my PlayStation never drops and I’ve had the best experience. It really feels like you’re playing on the device itself. The only issue I have is that I can’t play it laying down without my hands falling asleep after a few minutes, I don’t have this issue with a dualsense controller.

The Playstation Portal is one of those ideas that sound horrible on paper but a masterpiece in execution. Especially if you’re a busy person who just wants to comfortably lay in bed after a hard days work and play your favorite Playstation games. Personally, I have been enjoying Rise of the Ronin. I have fiber internet 1GB speeds so I can not speak for any other speeds. I have a backbone and it is not the same experience. A great quality of life device overall.

When you’re laying in your bed and don’t feel to get up and play - ps portal ps portal!
All I got to say is this is perfect for those busy fathers that are on the go and when night time comes and the bed is calling….. you can put in a little bit of hustle on your favorite game before you shut eye. Idk that’s me. Anyways I am satisfied with this and couldn’t ask for better.

The portal works way better than the remote play app. Remote Play works fine on some platforms, I have no issues on android or on a Nintendo switch (homebrew) But to play on a small screen phone is not ideal and playing on a tablet you need a controller until blackbone comes up with a version for tablets. This simply works flawless ly at home where I use it most. Like I said until there are good options for tablets this portal is the best solution yet.

For me this was a good buy and very entertaining, it’s nice to jump on the game without holding up the tv and others can do their own thing. It’s got a superb screen and I have yet to notice any lag or under performance. It will be going with me on trips to enjoy gaming on the go and you won’t know if you like it until you get it. No harm in trying out as you might be surprised and it’s very slick with a great time on battery life.

I like it a lot but your PS5 needs to be connected to the internet via cable or you’ll have a hard time connecting to the console. The picture is great and the size is good for viewing and the grip is comfortable for both hands.

Love this thing it connects well when I’m at home ‘I haven’t used it outside of my home yet but I have a trip coming up and I plan on bringing it along
But for the most part it works well while at home

As long as there's wifi, the gaming never ends! My husband and I each have a Playstation console. It's nice being able to play in separate rooms or right next to each other. Who ever is on "baby duty" to rock our kiddo to sleep, it's easy to take the portal with. At work and have some down time? Portal. It's a decently large screen with great graphics. Honestly, I can't believe it's only $200.

As someone who loves my Switch because of the ease of switching between playing on the TV and playing in bed (and also being a Dad that frequently shares the screen with 3 little girls), this device solved a lot of problems I had with my PS5. I can now allow the girls to watch or play their Switch on the TV while also playing the games I love. I also love the ability to being it to bed and play next to my wife while she plays Animal Crossing. There’s no better feeling.

Purchasing the portal was definitely smooth. When I was picking up my order the employee acknowledged me immediately and ofcourse made sure I had the right info to pick up my product

I like using this while watching/listening to other media on the TV. Haven’t used it on a trip yet.
Only one time that I’m trying to remote play and the PS5 doesn’t turn on. Might be because I haven’t turned the PS5 system on in a while. So somewhat regular use within a week might help with that.

I love this thing! If you have kids and a wife that tell you to turn the game off because no one wants to watch you play and you don’t want to isolate yourself in a cave. Then this is the solution you’ve been looking for. I play my PS5 games on the couch right next to them. Play online Fortnite or regular campaigns! I don’t feel any lag whatsoever. Additionally you can play it anywhere as long as you have a good wifi connection and your PS5 is in rest mode. 10/10 would buy again!!!

I was skeptical of this device at first but its seriously amazing. I have really great wifi at home but even then i run an ethernet cable to the back of my ps5 for a stronger connection and with my hotspot i can literally game on my ps5 through streaming from anywhere. Gameplay has been running flawlessly. I live in PA and tested it from New York on my hotspot. I am very happy with this purchase.

This unit works so well. Screen is so clear. Holding it feels great. Connecting is no issue. Its been running perfect and is so much fun. Finally Sony Remote play is where it should be.

I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this device. I had some connection issues the first day on my old router. Upgraded to a mesh setup and its been flawless everywhere in my house. No noticeable lag at all. I mostly play single player games so if you play MP, YMMV. I mostly use this in bed before sleeping and when my wife is using the LGCX. It feels great to hold and the battery life is more than enough for my needs. Happy with my purchase.

It was definitely a little annoying trying to figure how to make certain games run good, and getting the comfortability of the controls down. Although I still have had a great deal of fun taking this thing out with me and playing games. Excited for the furtive updates!

Crazy how the psp was so ahead of its time !
Bought this to play while traveling or when home bored and I gotta say this thing doesn’t disappoint! With the new beta update games are running crazy smooth
