Customer Ratings & Reviews

Well you can spend $500 to stream and remote play your games or spend $200. I tried the Xbox Rog Ally and it’s nice ergonomically but that’s where it stops for me. I even got it for $489 but to me it’s not ready and Windows 11 isn’t helping its case. With the PlayStation Portal no hassle or fuss unless you have bad internet but all in all I’m glad I made the switch.

Honestly can’t go wrong with the device, does exactly what it says it does flawlessly. What some people don’t understand is this isn’t a stand-alone device but much rather a remote play device. Long as you have the ps5 to pair then you’re good to go. It’s convenient when you just want to relax anywhere without being locked into one area or someone wants to use the TV. Overall, I’ve had no issues with the device and would recommend to someone that is looking for convenience with the ps5

Works perfect around the house, i honestly dont take it out but around the house this thing rules, its very comfortable to hold, the screen is impressive very happy with this purchase

This is a good bang for your buck if you plan to play at home. The ability to play anywhere in the house is very nice. You will want to hardwire the console to prevent any lag. Feels nice in the hands and the screen is very clear.

Very convenient. Connectivity is ehh my console is downstairs but, overall great handheld.

I took a chance on this open-box PlayStation Portal from Best Buy, and wow – it’s absolutely flawless! The device looked brand new, with no scratches, marks, or signs of use. Everything was included: original packaging, charger, and documentation. Using it has been a game-changer for my household. I can now play my PS5 games seamlessly in any room while someone else hogs the TV. The 1080p screen is crisp and vibrant, the DualSense controls feel identical to the PS5 controller (haptics and all!), and latency is barely noticeable on my home Wi-Fi. For the price I paid (open-box discount + Best Buy’s reliability), this was an unbeatable value. If you see an open-box unit available, grab it with confidence. A perfect 10/10!

Very light weight for its size. Had great picture and is very easy to use

Comfortable and easy to play anywhere. Easy setup and quick connection. High quality screen.

This device is perfect for Dads or people with a partner. I find that this device solves a very particular but very real problem. Let’s say you want to use your PS5 but the TV is being used by someone else: your partner, kids, in-laws etc. You could theoretically put a tv in another room and play your PS5 there. Maybe even in your office if you have one. Well think again pal, god-forbid you’re not in the living room with any of the aforementioned people as the TV blares another episode of Bake Off or 90 day fiance. All you wanna do is play Diablo IV, or Monster Hunter, or Spider-Man 2 but you can’t hog the TV for your silly little video games when you could be enjoying every one else’s company. Even on nights where its just you and one other person, your presence on the couch is more important than the sweet sweet loot you could be getting in your preferred digital world. Well if any of that sounds like you, wallow no more. The PSP lets you enjoy all that your PS5 offers without having to sacrifice your presence in the family room. Now instead of hearing, “Why dont you spend more time with us?” or “I don’t care what we watch, as long as you’re here.” Prepare yourself for “Hey, are you listening?”, “Hey can you pause that?”, and my new favorite, “could you turn it down a bit?” No longer am I staying up late to play games only to wake up a few hours later in a groggy nightmarish state. No longer am i sacrificing quality hang-out time in the living room worh everyone in my life. No longer am i the seemingly antisocial gamer that society perceives me to be. I can finally be with the people i love all while playing my playstation games and not feel bad about it! My only complaint is that it occasionally drops frames and i have an ideal internet set up. Otherwise, its a near daily use for me. It’s convenient, light, and fun to use.

The PlayStation Portal is a game-changer (pun intended). I've been using it for a while now, and I honestly can't believe how much I love it. With my internet connection (500 down and 100 up), I forget I'm even streaming games. This is my new favorite way to experience my PS5 titles. The screen is gorgeous, the controls feel fantastic, and the experience is seamless. It's basically a PS5 in your hands, and it's amazing.

Since purchasing my PS Portal, they have only made it better! Cloud streaming has made this a handheld anyone with or with or without PlayStation should buy. All you need is a PlayStation account and a yearning to play games on the go!

Got this for myself for Christmas and I was happy to get it using a tracker. A lot of scalpers purchasing this and costing more than retail. This PS5 accessory is needed if you have your PS5 located in the living room and you are sharing the tv with family members. This has been a savior and the battery life last about 4-5 hours depending on the settings I.e lower brightness level, haptic and trigger etc. works flawlessly and I love that the screen itself is accommodating.

Convienent and portable to take on the road! The connection has minimal lag due to wifi hotspot.

5 Stars all the way! This product solves all the problems I had with getting downtime to play. I typically play when the kids go down for bed. This enables me to play while not taking the television from my wife while still being in the same room with her. I highly recommend this product, please keep in mind as I told my wife it is essentially a controller with a screen. I have played a number of online games with no issues such as Destiny 2.

Great expansion controller! Works very well and allows me to game anywhere in the house! Awesome!

Get one! If you play games like 2d RPGs ,games like balatro, or old schools remakes this thing is a solid buy. Playing final fantasy tactics on this was so perfect.

This console add value to any PS user. The device works connected to your main console or on its own. You can stream games (with a plus memebership) off your library or off the free plus games. No game needs to be downloaded on to the device, which is nice. I find it useful, since you can use the console and this device simultaneously. There is a great selection of games to stream from. You do need WiFi to stream, and I have not had any issues playing this in my network or public ones. It is not meant to replace you console, but it is a nice device to have. It’s light enough that even young kids can use it. My kids love it.

Playstation Portal allows me to access the gaming world in any room of my home and on the road! I love this device. Connectivity could be improved, but overall a successful use of remote play

Very fun to play with and portable. Graphics are great and nice

The build overall is solid. 4 starts because personally I don't use it that often. I'm always drawn to go back to the PS5-TV experience. It is a shame that in order to really enjoy the experience you need a very stable WIFI signal, although I understand that being the case. I expected the joystick feeling being the same as the one from the Dualsense, but that's not the case. The joystick are significantly smaller and for someone like me with big hands and fingers the experience wasn't that comfortable. I would say if you are the type of gamer that enjoys FPS games then stay clear from it, nor comfortable at all for that. I struggled playing RDR2 every time I had to shoot (so imagine games like BF or COD). Again, it there was a 3.5 star rating I would rate it like that, but 4 seems fair too since I'm basing it purely on my tastes and experiences with it. I used probably 5 times, no more than 2 hours per sitting. For me having ~$200 laying around with little to no use is not worth it.
