    Very great product. The graphics are just as good as the actual console. You’re able to access your account on this device without even having your console. The screen itself is so big , it makes my switch look like an iPhone mini . lol This made a great gift ,

    I purchased the Portal on release day and ended up returning it after a week. Software issues led to lots of stuttering in games, especially in scenes with lots of panning & motion. Control was nearly unplayable for me on the original system software due to this issue. After a major software update (4.0) I heard these issues had been fixed and decided to give it another try. I'm happy to say that my experience is drastically different this time around. Games run near flawlessly and I don't notice any of the original issues that plagued the system on release. Some open world games with lots of foliage (FFVII Rebirth) may still show slight signs of compression when the screen is in motion, but in terms of response times when buttons are pressed it feels really good. If I had to critique the system, I wish the battery lasted longer and that the controller vibration was closer to the PS5 controllers. The vibration feels less precise overall.

    When Sony upgraded the device to Stream games along as a PS5 controller, i had to try it. So far works very well. Graphics are clear and sharp. If you plan on using as a streaming platform you will need to subscribe to PS Premium to do that. But for the price i found it worth it.

    I am actually surprised. I didn’t buy this to use outside of the house. I thought it would be a waste of money since I would only use it in my house. It is really nice to play the game while in my bedroom watching tv since the ps5 is in my family room. I have used more than i thought i would. It connects without any problems and i haven't had any issues while playing madden or anything else. I would definitely recommend this.

    I see a lot of mixed reviews of this device online. I think it’s mostly confusion of what this thing is. It’s a portable meant to be played at home when the tv is being watched or just want to play on something smaller when winding down. I don’t take it anywhere except around the house because I understand what’s it’s designed for. Plays nice. I’ve got a mesh system for around the house so no hiccups. I like it. It’s worth it to me.

    High end quality, you can play anywhere and very convenient. Graphics are amazing! One thing I would suggest would be amazing if you can play it without having to leave your ps5 running all day.

    It's a great way to play all of your favorite games on the go and while someone else is using the TV, good build and very easy to connect and use.

    I was planning to give 1 star for this product since the game just keep getting lag and stuttering even through my house is using 1g internet fiber. I read online and look through youtube just try to fix the lag but none of them is working. I was about to give up, but I found out that whenever I turn the TV that connect to PS5 the portal stop lagging and stuttering. This is for my case maybe it has to do with the HDMI cable, still I don't know why portal stopped stuttering when the TV is turn on. Therefore, what I did, I turn on TV for 24 hours a day and press Turn off Picture button. Now, I able to enjoy playstation portal wherever I go and play PS5 video game without getting lag or stuttering. If you high speed internet cable and PS5 connect directly to router or modern and still getting lag, you should try to turn on TV and see if the portal still getting lag. if it run smoothly when TV is turn on, maybe you should turn on TV and use off picture mode.

    Amazing! It's nice to be able to play Battlefield 6 or Mortal Kombat in another part of the house while you're watching your parent recover from sickness, but don't want to leave tjeir side. It's also cool to be able to play games on the cloud, and the streaming while I'm in a hotel or airport in another state is smooth.

    I think it’s a great product. Was given to me as a birthday gift. It’s nice to be able to have my ps5 on the go. The one big complaint I have is your WiFi is a little shaky do not expect to connect to the ps5 very well. The cloud gaming feature still works good so streaming is a plus.

    I was honestly surprised how great this product is, streams spiderman 2 on my mobile hotspot surprisingly well, comfortable in the hands. Exceeded my expectations across the board. One great flaw though, no bluetooth capabilities, and only two wireless headphones are playstation headphones that are 100+ dollars and or not even out yet.

    Had this on the wishlist for awhile. After watching plenty of reviews and having a $100 gift card, I decided to buy this. It is easy to set up. Connect WiFi and make sure your PS5 has remote play enabled. It can also play physical games as long as the disc is inside the PS5. It is a great alternative when you want to play PS5 games in handheld mode. Especially when the TV is being used by someone else. Definitely worth the purchase!

    I bought a PS5 months ago but unable to play because of 2 kids using the TV or too mobile for me to sit down for long periods of time to play. The portal allowed me to take gaming where ever I can. It’s Wi-Fi connection dependent. So depending on your isp, router and modem setup… gaming could be seamless majority of the time or it could be the worst gaming experience.

    This is a game changer for real! I bought it for the lazy days when i really don’t want to set up in front of a tv and play games. It works really well when your network is strong and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. You can also take this on vacation and play remote as long as your PS5 is in reat mode and you have wifi where you are at. Get one if you are serious about gaming!
