    honestly really do enjoy the portal alot. the audio quality isnt the best & you do need good wifi in order to play it but i do recommend it for story based/single player games. i havent tried multiplayer games yet but if you do ply story based game i strongly recommend if you get the chance.

    It’s neat. Really wish it could be used offline too. Adding the streaming option is nice so long as you got decent internet. The joy sticks are too loose.

    If you have PS+, you NEED this. My PS5 had been sitting unused for so long, but now I can play in any room in the house.

    Fantastic! Now I can play my games, while I ignore my wife as she watches her Drama shows and Documentaries. Just make sure you connect your PS5 via Ethernet to avoid a headache of figuring out why you keep disconnecting.

    Great purchase overall! I love that I can play Fortnite, Call of Duty and Read Dead Redemption 2 away from home. Only issue I have is that you need a reliable internet connection if not, it won’t connect.

    As a new dad its been so hard to play the way I always have in my life. As soon as I saw this I knew it was for me. I originally got it just to play single player games knowing streaming isnt best for online or wuick reaction games but it works surprisingly well even for those, love this thing!!

    So far this ps portal has been awesome on connecting to the ps5. However, I have Ethernet connected and strong WiFi on portal when away and still face the issue of lagging. I have fiber optic internet at home and 300mbs download and 175 upload. I feel that when I owned a backbone I faced less lagg

    Good if you have a Ps5

    If you have a PS5, go for it! It’s awesome. If you don’t and are interested in it due to the ability to stream games from the cloud without a Ps5, just know it’s only their curated catalogue of games similar to GamePass with an upper end PSN subscription, except the games suck a lot more with mostly ancient niche titles.

    While it has its obvious limitations of needing a PS5 to source the content, it's absolutely fantastic for those who want to be able to play games either away from their PS5, or when family is monopolizing the television.

    Under the right circumstances, Portal does a solid job! If you follow advice of how to get the best network stuff figured out, works well. I can complete backlog games from the comfort of any room in the house.
