    Cloud Streaming

    Cloud Streaming update really made this thing, as long as you have Premium PS Plus, it’s a great addition to the PS5. If you have premium, you don’t even need a PS5, you could get away with just cloud streaming games.

    Great cloud device. Works well at home when connected to PS5 and on vacation WiFi. Even used at the hospital on their WiFi. The input delay feels much like playing are online multiplayer game. It’s there but not deal breaker. Wouldn’t recommend playing very twitchy games on it.

    It has problems with connecting almost Everytime I try to use it. Lags more often than not. When it works correctly and runs smoothly, it is awesome. As a pick up and play device, it falls short. I wouldn't recommend it to someone else.

    The portal has excellent ergonomics and haptics with the spotty nature of fluctuating wireless signals. For a device that costs 150-200 dollars less than an entire PS5, it really should be a 1080p HDR oled panel that is able to run PS5 games natively, but instead what we are getting is a decent remote streaming device that requires ownership(and power-on) from a network-connected PS5. Your mileage may vary, but in my 5 or so hours with the device, i had no disconnects, although i most certainly experienced audio crackle, streaming artifacts(at 60fps) and severe input lag in the 100’s of milliseconds. Remote play and cloud gaming simply isnt ready for prime time, but overall this device does what it has set out to do, and thats provide remote playability of PS5 games when a direct tv connection isn’t immediately available.

    Device is of good quality, buttons and sticks feels like the real PS5 controller. Screen is sharp and bright. Speakers could have been better placed. Requires strong internet connection. Caution: Currently doesn't connect to public Wi-fi (ones that require web browsers) like hotels and some coffee shops.

    I love the idea for this! Streaming from your ps5 while using the tv for something else? Count me in. But it can be a bit laggy and have some issues depending HEAVILY on wifi. I have great wifi and i even still get some lagging. Recommended, but dont expect a handheld ps5. Its good for what it is. I think a lot of people were expecting ps5 performance and high speed/ high frame rates. Its fine for what it is!

    This device is great overall but literally you need a ps5 and it just like having a fancy controller with its own screen, it won’t work if your are using the ps5 can’t used it at the same time.

    Great lil device with some warts. The concept and the price are perfect for what you get. But you MUST have rock solid Wi-Fi in order to maximize the value of this thing. I wish you could tether this device via a wired connection. That would be dope.

    I am a gaming father and it sucked to only be able to play the ps5 at my desk. If your a father youd know you wont be able to play straight without hearing "dada" " daddy help me". WITH THIS PORTAL I CAN PLAY WITH THE BOYS ALL AROUND THE HOUSE WHILE BEING A DAD!! this is great for the dads that are always needing to be walking around.
