Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome product got it cheaper with excellent open box, if Sony made it portable for all users man it would be a game changer !

Like the title and many other reviews have stated, the Playstation Portal is absolutely amazing if your internet is blazing fast. You'll get a crisp 1080p and for single player games it's an absolute joy to play. HOWEVER, most people don't have wired gigabyte internet, in fact my area (major city on the west coast) doesn't even have a provider offer those internet speeds you see from youtubers. As a result, out of an hour of gameplay, i'm probably disconnecting twice and most of my gameplay is around 780p while having 2-3 times where the quality drops down to 144p which is aweful. While that issue is down to my internet, Playstation isn't pushing out enough updates to fix the latency issue either. If your internet is fast I'd recommend otherwise, no.

First off, I got this open box. It was a little dirty and the USB wire was missing. Once I cleaned it, it was in great condition. The device itself does what it was meant to do but not without its hiccups. The PS5 needs to be wired for a satisfying experience. Also, I had to do port forwarding in order to connect to it outside of my home. With that done, I still occasionally have PS5 connection issues. It's usually remedied by disconnecting and reconnecting the Portal or manually starting up the PS5 (which kinda defeats the purpose of remote play). In the end, I'm happy with it. I'm actually playing more of my PS+ games library due to this thing. I see that as a win.

I was skeptical about buying the portal at first but once I got it and set it up I absolutely loved it!! I take my portal with me almost everywhere I go. The PlayStation portal really comes in handy when you not able to game with your console right away. To anyone who thinking about purchasing it I say go for it!!

This has single handedly been the best option for me, being an avid gamer and family man. Easier to hop on when my wife and kids are bust watching their favorite shows. Awesome product!!! I even bought a second one for my Best Friend who recently had surgery.

This is a very nice add on for my ps5 I can use it almost any where great picture quality easy play feels a lot more comfortable than the controller does fair price highly recommend I'm going to get the black one next

Absolutely love it. I brought it for my grandson for Christmas and he can't put to down! He's even made online friends. The picture features are top-notch. The sound is like you're in a movie theater

If you are a dad who shares the TV you game on with your kids/wife; this is a must. If you don’t want to constantly have to be sitting in front of your tv and monitor to play your PS5 game and want to lay in bed or play on the couch, then it is also a must. I can’t begin to say how awesome having the PlayStation Portal has been, my backlog of games are starting to get played, I’m enjoying my time playing now because I can pick it up at any time to continue where I left of and not worry about my wife giving me that look like I’m about to go in the other room and be by myself. It’s feel so play more and enjoy playing more with this device. I have had a backbone to do essentially the same thing however it is very small and hurts my hand after a while if you have bigger hands like me and if you are someone that has one this is 100% better in every way. You have the dual sense controllers which are great, along with all the haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers the controller has to offer. Plus that 8 inch LCD screen almost looks like an Oled and it is beautiful to play on. I can’t recommend this product enough if you are in the fence or already have a backbone and looking to upgrade

The games are legendary I’m able to watch play games and have it at my disposal. being able have access to my game when traveling

Took a chance on the PS Portal due to it being on sale on Cyber Monday. As a collector, I was going to buy anyways but the reason for my 5 star review is because of how functional this device is. The PlayStation Plus integration on the device elevated this handheld as a must have for me assuming you are willing to pay for the max tier sub of PlayStation Plus. You are able to access the PlayStation Plus library of games without the need of your console to be on. That list is constantly growing. The remote play from the console works as advertised and runs smoothly for me. You must make sure you have a solid WiFi signal to have the best experience. At $179 at the time, it was an easy purchase for me. If you love the PS5 and want to take that experience on the go, buy a Portal.

Love my portal great for the dad that likes to game while the wife’s watching her shows. perfect for the time kill between the kids naps . i don't do much travel gaming so it stays home i do have some issues with wifi if im not home but that’s expected. overall great accessory !

This device is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! I highly recommend it! The fact that I can take this device anywhere wifi-wise is pretty great, and I can basically play my PS5 anywhere. Annnnnd-! What's even cooler, is that if I want to watch television AND play video games, I can just play on my portal and use the television screen as normal.

I am so excited for what Sony has in store for the next generation of portable devices. The portal is an amazing product, especially since they added their beta cloud streaming feature. It is so easy to hop on the game for a quick little hour session without having to power up the whole system. Super easy for people who don’t have a lot of time and just wanna play for a quick 30 minutes or so, I would definitely recommend this product. The price point is reasonable too especially if you get an out of the box one.

This Playstation Portal is way better than i thought. This was definitely the best gaming accessory that i have bought. I untilize this system everyday when the kids or wife are on the TV. Has been running butter smooth for me through wifi compared to a phone or tablet or even a computer. Haptic feedback is amazing and the battery life is pretty decent if you shut off the controller lights and turn off mic. The system charges fairly quick and love how when you plug in charger its in a area where the cord cant really become damaged. All around, the system was worth 199 and definitely see sony going in the right direction for portable. I difinetly suggest you guys trying this system out for yourself instead of listening to the people out there that conpares this to backbone+phone/tablet. The remote play quality on the system is way better than any other hardware. Portal has all of them beat!!!

Allows me to remotely play my PS5 while i travel for work, you do need a strong internet connection for it though.

This is such a good gadget now, with the cloud gaming available, it could be a stand alone console with this feature, you no longer require a ps5 console to play. I love it it is a really good Christmas present!!!

Great remote play device to play your home ps5 games on the go. Easy to set up and has the perks of dual sense controller at your fingertips. It’s not a standalone system so make sure to have a ps5. Downside is LCD not oled display and no Bluetooth support but the price is reasonable.

I was totally on the fence at first but the hype around it sucked me in. Thanks everyone! I will say it’s probably not for everyone, but like they say if your PS5 is hooked up to a family tv that’s being used that’s where the Portal comes in. For me I really don’t have that issue. I work from home downstairs and my PS5 is upstairs. So if I can sneak in a few GTA V online missions while at work is a win win. I haven’t run into any battery issues at all. It seems to have great battery life to me. I think I had 2 connection issues but otherwise that’s it. I really have no complaints. I mean we all wish it could do more but it is what it is. The one downside is you can only play whatever game disc is inside of your PS5 at the time. If all of your games are digital you wont have that problem, and I don’t think you can play the streamable PS Plus games either. So if you don’t always have access to your tv, possibly want to play in bed, or just want something a little more intimate vs playing on whatever size flatscreen tv you have, than the PS Portal may be for you!

It comes in handy, especially if you have to share the tv with other family members. You can go anywhere there is a good internet connection and play the games you want. I mostly play Helldivers 2 which works great as long as you have a fast internet connection.

The design of the PlayStation Portal is stunning and fits perfectly into my aesthetic. The screen is bright and sharp, and the haptic feedback makes it feel exactly like using a DualSense controller. It’s the perfect way to enjoy my PS5 games from anywhere in the house.
