Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great to have as a new father who can no longer game on the TV.

The PS Portal is a pretty great accessory that might not be for everyone. I have only used this at home and for the majority of the time it works pretty great. does have some connection issues from. does hitch up playing more intensive games, but not that often.

Does exactly what I got it for. Seems to work well and is enjoyed

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers a satisfactory streaming experience for PlayStation catalog titles; however, its functionality is unreliable when attempting to stream games directly from a PS5 console. The root cause, whether hardware or software-related, remains undetermined, as connection attempts frequently yield inconsistent results irrespective of network conditions.

Honestly, one of the best things (a bit over priced for what it has) to use alongside your PlayStation. It's so nice to move around the house and play like I would a handheld but having all the processing offloaded to your console - meaning long battery life too! The WiFi is a bit finicky; I can be 3-5ft away from an access point and get a warning about WiFi signal.

Excellent! Works exceptionally well at home and not, so long as there a good internet connection!

The Portal was a neat concept but in the end, I ended up returning the device. My setup was a hard-wired Ethernet to PS5 and a higher-end tri band routers including WiFi 6E. I also have gigabit speed home internet. Unfortunately the Portal does not use anything above the 5ghz band however. I tested remote play on my iPhone and MacBook Pro prior to preordering the portal to make sure my setup was optimal. After having nearly a flawless experience with those devices. I decided to pick up the portal for the integrated dualsense controls and large display. I played multiple games but mainly focused on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and GT7. Both games worked ok but there was just a bit more input lag compared to other devices I’ve used. The connection would degrade significantly in Ratchet and Clank when any graphically intense scene with lots of moving items such as explosions. This made it unenjoyable to play these offline single player games. Playing any fast-past game online wasn’t even an option with the input lag. I wish Sony would add more functionality to the device like being able to watch movies or play Spotify or even include a browser for Netflix or so you could log onto public WiFi like in hotels since I travel a lot. As far as a subpar remote play device for use around the house, $200 felt like a bad value for this piece of tech.

Awesome device to use when you dont wanna be glued to the TV

I love this product. I will say when I bought it. I don’t think I read it right but you have to be on the same Wi-Fi as your PS5. I still kept it and I still use it every now and then it lets me wander the house while playing.

Got it for my wife for Christmas she was yet to play on it but my son have he plays on it daily and love it

Absolutely amazing device, with a few shortcomings. Nothing particularly intrusive that a device restart doesn't fix, but the PS Portal will occasionally be unable to find the PS5 for no particular reason. Once connected though, it really shines.

This thing blew away my expectations. After a few updates they added the ability to play games streaming from PS Plus without the need for a PS5 and that took it over the top. The wife and kids usually are using the TV so this allows me to play PS5 or classic games while they are watching TV.

Love being able to play this while my wife is using our living room TV. Makes it so much easier. The screen is beautiful and crystal clear but I feel like it’s not a comfortable to play like a regular controller or even the switch

Somehow snagged one of these off of best buy’s website. Works great, streams my ps5 games very well and has worked better than remote play app on my iphone with a backbone. The screen is way nicer due to the size also. Haptics on the controller are just like a ps5 controller, which is great.

This is amazing! Works much better than I was expecting, and much better than my phone or iPad was working over remote play! Love being able to play my PS5 wherever in my house, and on the go!

Awesome item. Currently playing right now!! Outstanding customer service.

I was on the fence about this particular item. After all it is not a stand alone device. But I am able to play my PS5 from anywhere in the house. I underestimated how fun this device would be.

The PlayStation portal is hands down a better handheld then the switch it so comfortable to hold and play your PS5 games wherever you want work home a friends house at the end of the day if you want this handheld buy it $200 bucks is worth it.

Had this for sometime now and i must say im enjoying my time with it, the screen is super clear, good battery life, really enjoy playing astro bot on it, definitely recommend it.

No handheld felt as good as this did in my hands. Sadly the inconsistant connection. The inability to wake my ps5 now and then. The lag. 3 stars is the best I can do. 5 stars for comfort and screen. This is close but not there yet.
