LOVE THE COMFORTABILITY OF THE REMOTE AND THE GRAPHICS ARE INSANE.

I recently purchased the PS Portal from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I unboxed it, the design felt sleek, comfortable, and premium. The setup was quick and simple, and within minutes I was streaming my PlayStation games with smooth performance and beautiful visuals.
The display is bright and crisp, making every detail in my games pop, and the controls feel just like a DualSense — responsive, comfortable, and immersive with the haptic feedback. I love the freedom it gives me to play my favorite games away from the TV, whether I’m relaxing on the couch, in bed, or even around the house.
Best Buy made the whole process super easy — fast shipping, great packaging, and excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend the PS Portal to any PlayStation fan who wants the convenience of remote play without sacrificing quality.

Best gift ever given.
My little brother was stoked to have this game sent to him. He couldn’t wait to break it in while sitting on the toilet. Perfect for on the go gamers.

Amazing when it’s functioning as intended but it drops network connectivity nearly every time I use it, regardless of the strength of the WiFi signal or configuration. I have a google 6e tri band mesh router with three access points, along with 1 gb per second fiber service (1gb both upload and download) and it still repeatedly drops connection. Pretty sad because the screen, sound, and build quality are all top notch but that isn’t worth anything unless the wireless connection is stable. It’s worth noting that no other devices on my network ever drop connection or lag whatsoever. Also, my ps5 is hardwired directly to the base modem in the google config.

A really good devise for relaxing in bed or if you share a TV with someone. Requires a strong wifi connection especially if you're on a different network. Even though the joysticks are supposed to feel like a Dual Sense they fell off to me. Just a little too tall.

I enjoy it for the most part. It gives me the opportunity to play while my wife can watch TV. I like the portability and another option of gaming that it provides. Nice to travel and still be able to play your games without having to pack up the whole system. Only downside is the lag or connectivity due to various internet speeds.

Love the ability to play PS5 games without being tied to the TV. I’ve ready that some have problems with connectivity, but I’ve had zero issues at home, haven’t traveled with it yet. Very happy with this purchase.

Love the portal so far. Connecting to the PS5 is seamless. I have very little lag due to my console being connected directly with 1 Gig Internet. Even outside it runs pretty well. Ive played god of war Spider-Man 2 and 2k on it and they run with ease. I’m hoping in the future there is cloud gameplay so you don’t always have to install a game on your console to play on the portal. This is perfect for when you want to continue gaming but don’t want to be so involved on the couch and causally game home or away. Battery life is decent. I played about 5.5 hours before the battery indicator went low. Charging takes a little while so if you can plug it into a fast charger block it charges in about 2-3 hours which you can go back to console in the meantime to play your games. Overall great product. Can’t wait until GTA 6 comes out next year. A lot of ppl will find more use when that game drops.

This is in no way an official song handbeld lime a psp or the ps vita but if does allow you to remote play your ps4/5 games as well as join the cloud streaming beta so yoh can play backwards compatible games from the premium plus catalog if you have a premium membership. The PS Portal connected to my internet with zero problems. There was an instance where it wouldn’t connect but after a restart of both the ps5 and the portal the 2 devices connected again no problem. The better your wifi is in your home or whatever wifi yoh connect to the better your connection will be. So far this device has been an awesome handheld for playing my ps5 games in different rooms in my house. I would definitely recommt this device to any gamer looking to lound around in different areas of their homes or even gojng on vaction. Its very reliable in the experience I’ve had with the device. I can only see this getting better with future updates. Hopefully Sony will add an update to allow gamers to use any future bluetooth headset but for now the only thing gamers can do it shell out another $200 for proprietary earbuds with the PS Link technology to easily allow a connection for audio and chat or use a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Either way, i trust song will listen tk its community and make the correct decisions to make the device better in the future. For now, it is what it is. A remote play device designed to exacltly that and does a great job of doing.

I like it and it's definitely cool but I don't think you absolutely need it. It's very convenient of you travel or like to watch TV and play games but it can be a little slow and is very dependant on your internet. Cool product tho and $200 is a reasonable price.

This is NOT a PS5 dedicated Switch. It doesn't travel beyond the boundaries of your home WiFi network. This is made clear in the literature, but often overlooked. That said, it is nice to be able to access the PS5 from anywhere in the house and at anytime, especially if the PS5 is connected to a TV that is used for other purposes. This means that no matter who else is using that TV at the time, you can still play your PS5 games. The unit, itself, has comfortable and familiar controls, and the screen is vivid and easy to view over an extend play-session. If you have strong WiFi through out the house, there is little if any lag or stuttering. I think of this item as a "gadget" to help extend my opportunity to access my PS5. It also helps keep the peace when there is a conflict between the TV watchers and the gamers.

I love this PlayStation Portal. So easy to pick up and play all my digital PS5 games anywhere in the house. Wired connection from PS5 to the router helps latency immensely. When I’m playing at home there’s practically no latency, feels like playing directly on the console. Outside of the house there’s a little bit of lag but my brain quickly adjusts to it. Ergonomics feel great, it’s lightweight and easy to hold, no hand cramps like playing on the Switch. Battery life is decent, I can get about 4-5hrs of gameplay on a single charge. It came packaged really nicely. Overall a fantastic product and has me playing my PS5 more than ever.

The Sony PlayStation portal looks and feel better than using the backbone. It has a little weight to it but is high quality construction. It doesn't quite feel like a PlayStation controller but close. The screen and the graphics are very good, just like a miniature experience that one would get on the PS5. Because of this, I would recommend getting some screen protectors and a after market case to store and transport it.
I haven't experienced any latency when playing. It really depends on your connectivity for online gaming. It's a great value.
