Beautiful screen, easy set up. Love being able to play my favorite games in hand held form.

Awesome way to game while my kids are using the TV! No doubt takes credit for finishing my first game of the year. Open box seriously seemed brand new. Was amazed by the new update allowing cloud streaming for PS+ Premium member

It’s great when you have strong ping and router! Economics feels great as well! The speaker is great as well! The screen is great! Everything about it is great!

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player does exactly what it sets out to do — provide a premium remote-play experience for your PS5. It nails the controller-feel, screen size, and ergonomics. However, it doesn’t attempt to be everything (and that’s both its strength and its limitation). Because it’s heavily dependent on network conditions and the PS5 remains the “engine”, you’ll only get the best experience if your infrastructure is up to scratch.
So, if you’re a PS5 user, you have a good home network, and you frequently find yourself wanting to play away from the TV — go for it. But if you were hoping for a full handheld console alternative to the PS5, you might be underwhelmed.

PS5 suffers from the shackles of console gaming. Ur stuck in one stationary location. I have put half a dozens hours on the PS5 vs the hundreds on the Switch. The portal acts as a Nintendo Switch: go where ever, play whenever (strong WiFi required). I’ve had little issues with lag and slow connection, granted I’m near high speed WiFi spots.

Easy to carry (buy a case). I dont have much time to come home and play on my ps5 but with the psp i’m able to take it to work and get some play time which is cool! Graphics are great too.

I was skeptical at first but this item is actually pretty awesome. I don’t always have access to the tv so this thing comes in handy went I want to game while my wife or kids use the tv.

I finally got my hands on one and I can’t put it down! Having my PlayStation on the go with me is DEFINITELY a plus. Doctor’s appointments, my workplace and even on flights! Wherever there’s WiFi, my Portal and I will be there!

When it connects to my ps5 it’s great but sometimes getting a connection is a pain. My home network is good and I am using the ps5 connection using Wi-Fi rather than wired connection, which I heard improves the connectivity. But yeah the cloud streaming is a game changer as long as you’re a ps plus platinum member. Solid to hold and use. The thumb sticks are a little higher than a standard dualsense controller so it takes some getting used to that, but overall a great product!

This thing is awesome at what it does. The most authentic way to play remotely. You just need fast stable wifi and the right ports opened. Tried to use it at a Marriot and their onsite router had the requisite ports blocked. Had to use wifi hotspot from phone which wasn't ideal.

In general, this seemed pointless … until I got it. Now, I am very impressed with it. It’s lightweight and on my WiFi6 mesh network it’s seemingly without lag. Suddenly I can take the PS5 to another room without physically moving it.

Playstion portal is a very good concept having your ps5 in the palm of your hand, BUT you have to have stable and the best connection to use it’s full potential. I’ve returned it.

Love my portal! The cloud gaming update is great! It’s given me the ability to play my favorite games in bed which has allowed me the opportunity to finally get to complete some games I otherwise couldn’t get around to completing. Screen quality is good, the remote feels just like the dual sense although the sticks might be marginally smaller. The stream quality is great, I have decent internet so I don’t have really any issues apart from the occasional quick lag spike which is maybe once every 2 hours. Wish we had the ability to hook up any Bluetooth headset ,but you can get a Bluetooth 3.5mm headset dongle and that solves that issue, if they update that I’ll change my review to 5 stars but for now I have to give it a 4 star.

This system works great. As an adult gamer and a parent, I don't always have access to the tv where the playstation is, hence, this device has definitely changed the way I interact with my device. Since it's basically streaming from your playstation using wifi, it's not always perfect depending on your connectivity, but for the price and what it does, it's a great device.

It is a nice looking piece of tech. It don’t take much to connect it to your PS5 and start playing. A couple issues is that even with good internet, it gets spotty and frame rate drops, and if you have an update in the background, yikes. And I wish the joysticks was the same size of the dualsense controllers, but that’s just a personal issue. It’s convenient when I want to watch a show and still play the game, hopefully it gets better the more supportive updates comes along.
