    This is an amazing device! Did not know if I would use it much when purchased, but I use it all the time, and the screen is bright and big! Can't go wrong with this purchase!

    It's a Device that no one asked for but definitely needed. I'm a father of 2 and i use this while they sleep. It feels great, fast response and my favorite factor is the big screen. It is not the same as my OLED C1 LG but it gets the job done. I highly recommend it. Worth $200 plus the tax

    Fully console experience in the palm of you hands

    For all Dads out there, the PlayStation Portal is a solid option for remote gaming. It connects seamlessly to the PS5, allowing you to play your favorite games away from the main TV when it is occupied by Bluey or Sesame Street. The screen is sharp, and the controls feel just like a DualSense controller. However, it’s limited by requiring a constant, strong internet connection, and it doesn’t support cloud gaming or local apps. Overall, it’s great for PS5 owners who want a fully console experience while their main TV is occupied or while laying in bed, but some limitations may not make it ideal for everyone.

    Love the portal so far. Connecting to the PS5 is seamless. I have very little lag due to my console being connected directly with 1 Gig Internet. Even outside it runs pretty well. Ive played god of war Spider-Man 2 and 2k on it and they run with ease. I’m hoping in the future there is cloud gameplay so you don’t always have to install a game on your console to play on the portal. This is perfect for when you want to continue gaming but don’t want to be so involved on the couch and causally game home or away. Battery life is decent. I played about 5.5 hours before the battery indicator went low. Charging takes a little while so if you can plug it into a fast charger block it charges in about 2-3 hours which you can go back to console in the meantime to play your games. Overall great product. Can’t wait until GTA 6 comes out next year. A lot of ppl will find more use when that game drops.

    I love it. game play is not glitchy at all, loads as fast as my PS5. I am a little disappointed that if you travel with it you have to use wired headphones, as there is no BT capability. I would also recommend getting a screen protector and silicone case if you purchase.

    This is super convenient. It’s nice on the days when I’m not feeling like going to the game room to get on my ps5. I can just grab this and chill on the couch and play all the games one my ps5.

    A Good Gadget for Gamers

    This is NOT a PS5 dedicated Switch. It doesn't travel beyond the boundaries of your home WiFi network. This is made clear in the literature, but often overlooked. That said, it is nice to be able to access the PS5 from anywhere in the house and at anytime, especially if the PS5 is connected to a TV that is used for other purposes. This means that no matter who else is using that TV at the time, you can still play your PS5 games. The unit, itself, has comfortable and familiar controls, and the screen is vivid and easy to view over an extend play-session. If you have strong WiFi through out the house, there is little if any lag or stuttering. I think of this item as a "gadget" to help extend my opportunity to access my PS5. It also helps keep the peace when there is a conflict between the TV watchers and the gamers.

    I decided to get this learning that they've added the cloud streaming update. It's still in BETA so the cloud library isn't too impressive. Let's talk about a few things. Connectivity - I have a pretty strong wifi signal at home. Playing in the living room using remote play with the PS5 within 6 feet, there is little to no lag & not too much graphical flaw. I have also connected using hotspot from my phone away from home. Though not perfect, it works. There is a slight lag and graphics were choppy (connecting to PS5), so i'd recommend maybe just a 2D RPG. I haven't had a chance to connect it at another location outside my home using a strong wifi signal yet, so I will update my review in the future. Bluetooth connectivity (headphone/earphone options) - This is a negative for me. You have the option to use a 3mm input jack or ONLY the Playstation PULSE earbuds or PULSE headphones. I have the pulse 3d and was disapointed that i am limited to connecting that using a 3mm jack only to the system.

    This wonderful piece of machinery has given me the chance to get my game on. As a grown man with responsibilites and children, those things come first. And i don't want to hog the tv by gaming, so i put it off and off and off and I never get to play on my PS5. Now I can easliy chill on the couch with my family while we all enjoy something on the big screen and I can disappear into a game-world of magic. A solid wifi connection and having the PS5 on a wired connection and rest mode helped to optimize performance. I love this thing.

    Sony Interactive Entertainment - PlayStation Porta

    The Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player in Midnight Black is a sleek and impressive device that makes gaming more convenient and flexible. I like how the design looks clean and modern, and the black finish gives it a premium feel compared to the standard white version. The screen is bright and clear, and it feels comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. One of the best features is being able to play PS5 games anywhere in the house without needing the TV. The controls feel just like a DualSense controller, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that make the gameplay immersive and smooth. The 8-inch display with 1080p and up to 60fps makes games look sharp and enjoyable while using Wi-Fi to connect to the PS5. Overall, the PlayStation Portal Midnight Black is a great accessory for PS5 owners who want freedom to play in different rooms or on the go at home. It’s stylish, comfortable, and delivers a solid remote play experience. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a portable way to enjoy their PlayStation games without being tied to a TV.

    Great Device if You Have Family/Kids

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I believe this device works perfectly for someone who has family/kids. Personally for me, I can't be in my gaming room all day when I have a wife & a kid. My wife & I co sleep with our son and it would be selfish of me to go to my gaming room everynight while my wife is stuck in bed with our son. There are times where my wife want's times for herself which mean I'll be putting my son to sleep instead of her. Now, there are a lot of people bashing on this device because you can already remote play with your phone/tablet and I've been doing that with my phone using the Backbone. Here are two things that I like about this PlayStation Portal over using a Backbone. 1) The screen size is bigger. My phone is only 6.3" so having that 8 inch is a plus for me. I personally don't care that the screen is an LCD that doesn't bother me at all. 2) Being able to use a Duelsense controller with all the heptic feed back is a plus. You don't get that feeling using a Backbone and to be honest. My hands gets fatigue afte about an house using a Backbone where else I don't get that using the Playstation Portal. Yes! you can connect your Duelsense to a tablet and get a bigger display than the PlayStation Portal, but you have to place your tablet on a table. You can't lay in bed with a tablet while using your Duelsense which is where this PlayStation Portal shines to me. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FAMILY/KIDS THAN THIS DEVICE ISN'T FOR YOU. NO REASON WHY YOU WOULD WANT IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO.

    When it works it is the best accessory to the PS5! Depending on your internet setup, it may not always be able to connect to your PS5 in every room. But for me, I have the PS5 hooked up to a Ethernet in one room. And then I play in another near my router and 90% of the time I have no issues and love being able to play my Playstation games in front of the TV.

    I love this PlayStation Portal. So easy to pick up and play all my digital PS5 games anywhere in the house. Wired connection from PS5 to the router helps latency immensely. When I’m playing at home there’s practically no latency, feels like playing directly on the console. Outside of the house there’s a little bit of lag but my brain quickly adjusts to it. Ergonomics feel great, it’s lightweight and easy to hold, no hand cramps like playing on the Switch. Battery life is decent, I can get about 4-5hrs of gameplay on a single charge. It came packaged really nicely. Overall a fantastic product and has me playing my PS5 more than ever.

    I definitely agree with a lot of reviews I’ve seen about this. This is a great device if a PS5 is your main device and you are a parent, or someone who makes time to game before bed. There have been days where there just isn’t time for me to sit on the couch, but I can play a little winding down for the night in bed! The screen is very nice, and the internal audio is solid enough. I also already have a pair of Pulse headphones which really helps! I wouldn’t play an FPS on here, as there is a little input lag that throws off timing, but I’ve really enjoyed playing single player games on here. A Steam Deck certainly does more, but this device definitely has a place in a lot of people’s homes!
