Customer Ratings & Reviews

With a PlayStation plus premium subscription, this device plays the streaming games very well. Very natural feeling in the hands. I wish the blacks on the screen were darker and a wider contrast but this is also only $200 and the display punches above that price point. My biggest complaint is the lack of compatibility with third party Bluetooth headphones. I know they want to sell other hardware, but I already have too many expensive headphone choices at home.

I love the idea of this product, however its not what I was hoping for. It is a great concept, similar to the steam deck, but it isn't quite there. It works pretty good around my house with my internet, however there is still input lag. At my house I tested the portal by playing madden 26 and Call of Duty Black Ops 7. Both games with great internet connection, I have input lag. My second test I spent some time at a relatives 7 hours away from my console. I experienced minor connection issues (took a little longer to connect than usual), lag, and still have the input delay. Now my relatives internet is not great, explaining the lag, but the input delay is what is lowering my rating. Despite being 7 hours away from my console or 2 feet away, the input delay seems to be the same. This product might not work the best for games like madden and Call of Duty, but those are the games I play. I would not recommend this product if you plan on using it for these games. Unfortunately, I don't know how well it functions with other games. Overall, I think this product could be great in the future with some updating. I look forward to an improved version.

What i can say about the ps portal, its good for casual on the go gaming. Story based games isnt too bad. If your looking for on the go competitive play type of experience this isnt it due the fact of input delay depending on your internet connection but most of the time itll be decent. Its a good streaming device

Really enjoy the graphics. The connection can be spotty sometimes but overall i enjoy using it

It runs really well and is very convenient when you share living space with others. I don't like that whenever you want to switch profiles you have to sign completely out and sign back in with the other account. On the Playstation, you can just switch accounts. And i wish there was a function for adjusting the screen display, not just make it brighter or darker. I'd like to be able to adjust the contrast for example.

The item is great. have had no issues and the quality is top tier. sony did a great job.

The PlayStation Portal works exactly as advertised. Setup was fast, the screen looks great, and the controls feel just like a DualSense controller. With a solid Wi-Fi connection, gameplay is smooth and responsive. It’s perfect for playing PS5 games when the TV is in use. Highly recommend for PS5 owners who want more flexibility.

This is the perfect gift for PS5 owners. My son enjoys playing his games without having to use the TV. He is able to relax and play whatever he wants. The only problem I really have with it is taking it on the go and finding a source of WiFi for it to work without lagging.

This is a great system on the go WiFi connection needed and pairing to your ps5 as well, if this device is for a minor make sure to research information on pairing device to a minors account before purchasing. Was able to pair with my sons minor account took some research but was able to do so and he loves it

Rocking the kids to sleep? Portal! Kids watching baby shark, on your LG OLED?! Portal! Wife “watching” reality tv as she scrolls ticktock? Portal! Trust me! If you are a dad who wants to get in some gaming whenever possible, this is a good buy. You can either remote into your ps5 or pay extra for cloud streaming.

Amazing console able to play games away from home only draw back is if ps5 hasn’t been on for a day connection will not connect. Although when you have a personal WiFi at another house connection issues are irrelevant but if at a hotel terrible would recommend streaming rather than playing own library games

I’m very happy with this purchase. The product works exactly as described and feels well built with good quality materials. Setup was quick and easy, and I didn’t run into any issues using it. Performance has been smooth and reliable so far, and it does what I need it to do without any problems. For the price, this is definitely a solid value. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something dependable and easy to use.

First off, I am so sick of the "YoU sHoUlD pLuG yOuR cOnSoLe InTo EtHeRnEt" responses about improving performance with this. We get it, wired is always better; not everyone's setup allows for that! In a world where so many devices are wireless, and Sony expects you to remote play on sometimes crappy wifi, it is shocking to me that in the same home / on the same network you end up with enough latency to make it drop connection or get grainy/laggy. It gets a little better each update, but still kinda lackluster and it is so odd that it - pretty much across the board with people on the same wifi for their console - will perform better outside of your home when they're on separate networks! Sometimes I just want to play in bed or something and it's kinda bad at that. Overall it is a really cool device and when it works, it works well! It's a compelling alternative to other handhelds especially with more recent ones like ROG Ally X and MSI Claw costing $800-900 and continuing to rise with each new handheld! For $200 you can play your games on, what I feel like, is a more ergonomically friendly device and better controller. GOOD: - Controller is great, if you like PS5 controllers - Adaptive triggers work on it! - Screen looks nice - Light weight compared to other handhelds like Steam Deck, Rog Ally, Lenovo Legion Go. Nice alternative here. - Access to your PS library without re-buying games for PC on other handhelds BAD: - Latency can be atrocious, especially on the same network. Often have to reboot this and my PS5 to get a solid connection to play, which is a bit of a known issue/workaround. - Anything competitive or really input lag sensitive starts to feel almost nauseating with delays or mismatch to what you expect - Should allow direct streaming of PS Plus stuff, which initially didn't and won't be fully realized unless they include that. Take out my need for PS device for remote stream games and eliminate a hop! For $200 it's good, but if you have a handheld and want to use something like Chiaki it sadly works better most times on wifi, so I would go that route before buying this. If you have your PS5 on ethernet, let 'er rip and this probably works great!

Had a trip to Orlando and took it and it was amazing it was functioning well and had no problems with the connection. I recommended leaving your ps5 on rest mode that way if you have the ps app you can turn it on anywhere your at and could use your ps portal.

Good purchase and elegant device! It works good and i can play abroad now!

Bought for my husband for Christmas… Love how he can carry it anywhere and room to room as he goes. and i get to watch TV lol. Battery is good lastes long and it doesnt get slow if ur far from ur ps5 and if u have the plus acct u can use it anywhere where u have wifi.

This is really great for using when you cannot be near where your ps5 is located. I use it upstairs when the room is occupied where my ps5 is being used. This set up does take a little getting used too with the controls so separated and at times feels like there could be a little lag since it basically is just mirroring your ps5 over an internet connection

I really love it a lot especially since I can play handheld and listen and watch football in the background. My only complaint is if you don’t have full bars on your Wi-Fi, like you go upstairs or to your garage, it gets a little laggy.

ITS WORTH IT!!! The streaming quality is surprisingly smooth as long as you have decent Wi-Fi. Games look sharp, the controls feel exactly like a DualSense, and there’s basically no learning curve. It really feels like you’re holding a full PS5 controller with a screen in the middle.If you have a PS5 and want more freedom in when and where you play, the PS Portal is absolutely worth it. It’s simple, it works, and it makes gaming way more convenient.

As someone with limited space in my room, I cannot hook up a TV to play the PS5 so this device is amazing for playing in bed. I own a Steam Deck that can do the same thing but requires a little bit more setup, and I personally prefer first party as it was an easy to connect and fluid experience. The screen is also pretty big which is a must have for me, so I think this is the perfect device. My internet router and modem are both in the room so connectivity is strong.
