Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I believe this product is good for individuals that prefer laid back games that do not require high performance. Its perfect for laying back on the couch with family , wife , kids etc, or taking it to bed to be more comfortable. As long as one has high speed internet the perfomance is soild.

Purchased 6 months ago, use pretty often. Stable a strong WiFi is crucial for good experience streaming from console. Streaming from cloud is much more reliable and does not require as great connection. Joystick broke after I dropped it..oops.. warrant is having another sent no questions asked.

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers a satisfactory streaming experience for PlayStation catalog titles; however, its functionality is unreliable when attempting to stream games directly from a PS5 console. The root cause, whether hardware or software-related, remains undetermined, as connection attempts frequently yield inconsistent results irrespective of network conditions.

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

I wanted the PS Portal when it initially released. With all the complaints and downfalls prior to the new update I was kind of glad I didn’t buy initially. Now that I can connect to Hotel and other public type networks and stream games I don’t own with cloud gaming (Requires PS Plus Premium) I’m overly satisfied with this device….only thing I wish worked was other media players like Netflix, YouTube that I have on my on PS5. Definitely something to own if you love gaming on the go!!!

Well you can spend $500 to stream and remote play your games or spend $200. I tried the Xbox Rog Ally and it’s nice ergonomically but that’s where it stops for me. I even got it for $489 but to me it’s not ready and Windows 11 isn’t helping its case. With the PlayStation Portal no hassle or fuss unless you have bad internet but all in all I’m glad I made the switch.

Do you have excellent wifi? And do you often find the tv your PS5 is connected to hogged by other family members? Then this is for you. I find that runs really well about 60% of the time where it's gorgeous and HD looking, about 30% of the time it runs well enough, and 10% it looks like a blurry drunken potato. Your wifi will effect this.

Pro’s - Smooth streaming experience if you’re paying for it. Remote play works great. Screen is amazing. Much lighter than you’d think. Buttons and sticks feel great. Drawbacks - Speakers aren’t awesome. Sony not allowing traditional Bluetooth connection for wireless audio is dumb, especially considering their pulse options are terrible.

The best gift ever! Can play all your ps5 games remotely from anywhere. I think this product is extremely underrated. The only cons is if the wifi is slow the graphics get blurred, but otherwise there has been no lag issues so far. The screen size is perfect, and the product itself is lightweight to carry or hold for a long time.

Very good i go to sony playstation get subcription my 2 grand son play thousand of game now with the subcription for 19 dollar a month. We do not have playstation 5 console so indecide to get subcription for now. Have very good variety of game for different ageis working fine. My grand kids really enjoy it.

The PlayStation Portal surprised me in the best way. It’s super convenient, lightweight, and the screen looks crisp and smooth while playing. The DualSense controls feel exactly like a PS5 controller, so it doesn’t feel like a downgrade at all. As long as you have a solid Wi-Fi connection, the gameplay is fast and responsive with almost no noticeable lag. It’s perfect for gaming in bed, on the couch, or when the TV is being used by someone else.

I recently purchased the PS Portal from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I unboxed it, the design felt sleek, comfortable, and premium. The setup was quick and simple, and within minutes I was streaming my PlayStation games with smooth performance and beautiful visuals. The display is bright and crisp, making every detail in my games pop, and the controls feel just like a DualSense — responsive, comfortable, and immersive with the haptic feedback. I love the freedom it gives me to play my favorite games away from the TV, whether I’m relaxing on the couch, in bed, or even around the house. Best Buy made the whole process super easy — fast shipping, great packaging, and excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend the PS Portal to any PlayStation fan who wants the convenience of remote play without sacrificing quality.

I was concerned about the Portal's ability to provide a smooth playing experience, considering all I'd read online. In use, I've been very pleased - particularly with the streaming option. Using our home internet (which is fiber but has plenty of other devices connected) streaming quality is smooth and fun. A little slower response for games played remotely from the PS5 but still playable as well. Worth it so far!

Was hesitant at first that there would be lag because these work by essentially streaming the game however that proved to be very minor. I was surprised by just how little lag and how well it played. Bought it to take my gaming with me while I'm traveling and it works very well.

The screen looks great, gameplay is smooth, and it’s super easy to connect to your PS5. It’s perfect for playing when the TV is in use or when you just want to relax somewhere else. As long as you have a good Wi-Fi connection, it works really well. Great add-on for any PS5 owner!

Got this for my son for Christmas he loves it he does not own a PlayStation 5 but I did get him a Year's subscription to PlayStation Plus premium where he can game to his heart content great job PlayStation and at just $200 way better deal than any other handheld out there don't let people fool you

It works well on my network that has at least 30 smart home products connected to the Internet at all times. I have my PS5 plugged into Ethernet and have at&ts top internet plan which really only gets me about 170 - 200 mbps on WiFi but it still holds a connection well. The quality of it is really nice and I’ play on it for a few hours at a time while in my home office since my ps5 is in the living room.

For the money it does everything it states. It can be a little laggy from at the start but 98% of the time is great. Give a 4 star just because now having it I can see the potential of what it should do. If it had any kind of offline game storage, even if it was for classic games it would be amazing.

I bought this specifically for streaming from my PS5 so I could let the family use the tv and I could do my thing anywhere in the house I had wifi. While it's use is limited to PS streaming it works absolutely wonderful for my needs. I bought an open box and I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it. The 8 inch screen is perfect and is crystal clear. The sound quality is also excellent. I have had very few connection issues and that's only been due to the plaster walls I have or hiccups in my mesh wifi. I love the fact it's incredibly light and the battery life is amazing, easily 4 hours or so playing darktide.
