Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for single player games I work 12 hour shifts so I got this to play spider man & arc raiders while at work. Great product not laggy clear picture would recommend to anyone who travels or works alot.

Was skeptical about buying the PlayStation portal because all the reviews I saw online , I decided to give it a try & it surprised me on how well it performs , The PlayStation Portal Works Really Well for online games! I recommend having a stable internet connection at home , to prevent any lagging and have a smooth gaming experience.

I know there was a lot of skepticism about this product but I love it I have had minimal issues and it performs as intended actually it performs above what was intended highly recommend but I will say you should probably have your Internet ethernet cable at home which is probably contributing to the higher quality that I’m receiving 10 out of 10 highly recommend

This is my own review as a normal consumer. From the moment this was announced, I had no interest in it. I already own a Ps Vita and love it, but I wanted to be able to play my PlayStation anywhere, anytime. I couldn’t get to stream it on my Vita so the portal begun to make more sense to me and my needs. After watching so many reviews, good and bad, I decided to pre order it but ended up cancelling it. They release it and more reviews came in, a good mix of it, everyone was worry about using cellular and how good would it be not being close enough of the console. I decided to still get one but it was too late, it was sold out everywhere and scalpers were re selling for $500 bucks so I waited it out using HotStock and managed to get one off BB, and my first impression was, “wow this feels good”, plus the screen is amazing. It feels like a portal PlayStation, especially with the dual sense triggers, and feedback. Connection wise was a bit weird at first but I managed to connect to my 5G internet, and made sure my PlayStation was connected to the same network, also tried LAN and works but it kept getting disconnected for some reason, possibly my Ethernet cable is bad but I decided to go back to WiFi and once I connected both to the same network, I haven’t had any issues. I also learn to unplug the hdmi off my monitor and made my experience so much better. I have also tried using my hotspot on my phone, it works just the same, it starts a little slower but it smooths up as it goes on. It also depends how fast of a hotspot you have and if your phone isn’t downloading anything. I stopped playing multiplayer games so I have no experience on it aside playing Cold War zombies which works great. I mainly play the show 23, and single players. I recommend this to anyone interested in playing their PlayStation anywhere, anyplace, AS LONG you have a decent connection. That’s my honest opinion. I wouldn’t give up on a scalper but if you’re truly desperate to get one, I still wouldn’t. Sony will bring more in stock, just gotta keep waiting it out. Scalpers already losing money, they’re dropping prices down to $250.

Third Portal, bit of a buyer’s remorse with the previous two, but kept coming to it. This time seems it’ll stick and I can’t get enough. Beware though, PS5 wifi chips are not great especially the original models. So expect to deal with quite a bit of choppiness. But there are way to fix this and it’s not the Portal’s fault. Bonus plus if you’re a PS subscriber you get to stream games directly w/out needing to connect to the PS5 itself.

Recently picked up the PlayStation Portal and I’m honestly impressed. The screen is crisp, the controls feel just like a regular PlayStation controller, and the overall experience is super smooth. It’s perfect for playing when the TV is tied up or just relaxing in another room. Setup was quick and easy, and the performance has been solid. Definitely a great addition for any PlayStation fan

As long as there's wifi, the gaming never ends! My husband and I each have a Playstation console. It's nice being able to play in separate rooms or right next to each other. Who ever is on "baby duty" to rock our kiddo to sleep, it's easy to take the portal with. At work and have some down time? Portal. It's a decently large screen with great graphics. Honestly, I can't believe it's only $200.

This unit works so well. Screen is so clear. Holding it feels great. Connecting is no issue. Its been running perfect and is so much fun. Finally Sony Remote play is where it should be.

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.

I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this device. I had some connection issues the first day on my old router. Upgraded to a mesh setup and its been flawless everywhere in my house. No noticeable lag at all. I mostly play single player games so if you play MP, YMMV. I mostly use this in bed before sleeping and when my wife is using the LGCX. It feels great to hold and the battery life is more than enough for my needs. Happy with my purchase.

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.

This was a great add-on for the PS5 making it portable and convenient for those on the go! It’s an amazing piece of technology!

Excellent gaming gear Perfect for a Gamer Dad. All the features in psportal are perfect like Ergonomics, Haptic Feedback, Screen quality, Battery life and etc.

Got the matte black version of this a few days ago.. Been wanting this for a while now and finally got it. I have to say im a little bit disappointed. Dont get me wrong, this thing is beautifully designed and the graphics on it looks pretty awesome. But what kills it is the lags.. i have a 300mbps internet connection (now it could be my wifi acting up), but even with just my PlayStation portsl connected, i was having some issues this morning. i.e. kept losing internet connection, also was lagging a lot. Even in single play games/game modes like fc24 and RDR2. I did, however play diably 4 online last night and it ran smoothly.. but then again theres that occasional lags.

This item is so great to have and it helps so that I don’t have to have travel with my console all the time . It’s sleek and very good to have works and the images and graphics are amazing on it

Excellent ergonomics inspired by the DualSense controller, smooth and beautiful image quality if the connection is good, and the freedom to play your PS5 games remotely.

This system is much better than I had read about. The screen is large and has beautiful color and contrast! When I go back to play my Asus ROG Ally, the screen seems so much "smaller". I do have an issue with internet connection cutting out when I first start a game, then it goes way and plays flawlessly.

Definitely recommend, especially if you share the TV with family or if you travel. Playing in bed has also become a thing. The battery life is good and the quality is nice also. I think it’s a great addition and the price point is perfect.

When Sony first revealed this handheld device, it was not appealing to me at all, but once I started to hear good reviews about it, I was persuaded to see for myself. Took some time, but eventually, I was able to get my hands on this elusive gaming device (I refuse to get ripped off by scalpers). The set-up was pretty straightforward, all you need is your PS5 Console and a strong sustainable WiFi connection (preferably the same network connected to your console). So, my PS5 console is hooked up in my living room, where 80% of the time it's being occupied by my wife and kids, and when you add in 50+hr work weeks, I rarely get the opportunity or have the energy to sit down and enjoy a proper game session. But, now that I have the PlayStation Portal, I'm able to game at my leisure, in the comfort and solitude of my own bedroom. Couple things to be aware of, if you're a traditional gamer like myself, who likes to buy physical disc games, whatever game you wish to play on the Portal, that physical disc has to be in your PS5 console in order to work. Also, if you wish to play on your Portal a good distance away from your PS5 console (car, work, etc.), unless you have a strong WiFi/Hot Spot connection, the Portal will have difficulties with streaming your game. Overall, the PlayStation Portal is a remarkable device, that has completely blown me away, and I can't thank Sony enough, for creating an outlet for gaming parents.

This thing had me confused at first; why would I need something like this? Then I read about other people playing games on it while leaving the tv free for other people and idea seemed great. I had to wait awhile to get one but it serves that exact purpose for me. My PS5 is literally in my room but I like to listen to familiar media like tv shows while I game so I play on the Portal while listening to tv shows in the background. The Portal is perfect 99% of the time; once in a while it’ll take a slight pause but it’s never ruined my gameplay. I’ve been playing Uncharted: Lost Legacy and that game has run smoothly every time I play with the slightest little pause once in a while but it hasn’t ruined my enjoyment of the game. My only complaint of the device is with Best Buy specifically; I ordered online for in store pickup and my box was extremely dented; thankfully the Portal itself wasn’t damaged but any store associate should’ve known that kind of packaging shouldn’t have been given to a customer, it just looks bad on the company. I’ve included pictures so people can see what I’m talking about. Like I said, the device is great, Best Buy associates need to put more care into how packages are handled.
