    I know a lot of people got upset when they heard this was streaming device and not an actual console but hear me out... If you already have PlayStation 5 but want to be able to watch TV while gamig this is a great way to do so and it doesn't require super fast speeeds to play and not lag i had both my PlayStation and Portal running on my phone hotspot without any delay, played Fortnite, Sparking Zero, Wo Long, amd Tekken woth no delay or lag. Also this machine runsbmuch smoother than remote play no contest. Now you might be thinking why buy this when the Switch exists. Well ilyl tell you why, both this and the Switch support 1080p 60FPS. But where this triumphs since this streams directly from the PS5 games look great and run great, take Fortnite for example, that game on the switch is awful. On the Portal you get amazing looking quality. Bit I'm rambling, yes its not the hand held people wanted but it does a good job at doing what sony wanted it to do.

    I missed the original launch by minutes. Took me a few months to get my hand on it and let me tell you it was worth it! Brings back that nostalgia of owning a PSP as a teen. No more turning off the game because the TV has to be turned off or used for something else, this device allows you to continue playing without interfering with the use of your TV. I’m very happy with this purchase!

    Must have for Sony users

    Absolutely must have for ps5 users. Thought the resolution would be too low for my liking but the screen is fantastic. Only complaint is you must have good wifi 6 or better unless you're somewhat stationary while playing. I was having trouble when the wifi would switch access points on my mesh network.

    Awful reviews not related to product.

    What does not being able to get this have to do with the product itself? If you wanted it you shoukd have preordered it weeks ago instead of leaving 1 star reviews crying that you couldnt get it on release day. Just ridiculous. The product works exactly as advertised and has been reviewed by dozens of reviewers online that talk about the pros and cons and what it can and cannot do like streaming and resolution. Grow up people, do some research and stop rolling the dice on release day. The Ps5 debacle didnt teach you people anything?

    I absolutely love the Playstation Portal! As someone who has been playing handheld games since their inception (yeah I'm old) this is as close to perfect as I've played without spending a fortune. If the Portal were a standalone device there is no doubt that it be even harder to acquire. One question I see frequently is do you need a PS5 (yes) or somebody returning it because they were unaware that this is just a streaming device and cannot play games without a $500 console. Sadly it is not the PSP (Playstation portable) gen 2 we have been wanting. Since it is just a streaming device there are limits. If you have spotty wifi, plan on taking it away from your PS5's network, and thats before the battery drain issues. If you go into the settings some of the battery issues can be alleviated by turning down some of the unneeded lights, sounds, or vibrations. I am really happy with mine after a month. It feels good, looks good, and am happy to finally snag one.

    I ordered this Playstation Portal about a month ago, and let me tell you. It was an absolute nightmare trying to figure out how to make this portal run without any lag. After a week, I finally figured it out. First, I upgraded my internet speed to 1gbps in order to achieve high internet connection. I then used a cat8 ethernet cable to plug my Playstation 5 into my modem, since cat8 is one of the most powerful ethernet cables out there. Then I bought a wifi extender to boost the wifi signal throughout the house so my Portal would pick up a strong connection from anywhere in the house. Finally, I unplug the Playstation 5's HDMI cable from the back of the TV so that it's not broadcasting a picture two screens (TV and Portal). Just one. After all of that, I am no longer experiencing any type of lag and the remote play function is amazing. I love my PS Portal.

    This a great for on the go or in the house if someone needs the TV the screen quality is amazing along with the haptic triggers. Just wish it had more OG psp feature like inserting a game card because remote is sometimes difficult to connect to

    This is an awesome unit so far. It needs to be connected to wifi although I haven’t tried to tether to my phone yet but expect it to work as long as coverage is good. I read an article that siad that why it calles a Portal as it only lets you play your PS5 from away. I verified you cant stream from it but it does have all the benefits the the controller such as the haptic feedback and the resistances on the triggers. It was a blad to play Astros playroom on it. It doesn’t have Bluetooth but dies have the mic built in. Also the battry will last for several hours or possibly longer. The speakers seem a bit weak but will do the job but the biggest concern is using it on stable internet connection.

    Good at what it does as a stream only device. It has ease of use being a mirror of your PS5. The performance is great, and the latency is almost non noticeable for most games, with a good connection.

    Playstation portal is worth it

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Will preface having at least fiber internet is recommended to avoid as much latency as possible while remote play gaming. Fantastic mobile option as the built in software provides the lowest latency of all remote play options while costing a fraction of the alternatives(steam deck/iphone/etc). The built in controllers are great, the screen is slightly bigger than a nintendo switch's and surprisingly very light to hold which is quite nice for bed gaming. My only complaint I have is that any game that uses the touchpad requires pressing the touch screen with your thumbs to mimic the button press as it does not have an actual hardware option for said button.
