    As a parent who has family members occupying the tv this is the best investment I have made. Also with the portals latest firmware update the picture quality and latency has gotten even better through my experience

    Great remote play device to play your home ps5 games on the go. Easy to set up and has the perks of dual sense controller at your fingertips. It’s not a standalone system so make sure to have a ps5. Downside is LCD not oled display and no Bluetooth support but the price is reasonable.

    It comes in handy, especially if you have to share the tv with other family members. You can go anywhere there is a good internet connection and play the games you want. I mostly play Helldivers 2 which works great as long as you have a fast internet connection.

    I was totally on the fence at first but the hype around it sucked me in. Thanks everyone! I will say it’s probably not for everyone, but like they say if your PS5 is hooked up to a family tv that’s being used that’s where the Portal comes in. For me I really don’t have that issue. I work from home downstairs and my PS5 is upstairs. So if I can sneak in a few GTA V online missions while at work is a win win. I haven’t run into any battery issues at all. It seems to have great battery life to me. I think I had 2 connection issues but otherwise that’s it. I really have no complaints. I mean we all wish it could do more but it is what it is. The one downside is you can only play whatever game disc is inside of your PS5 at the time. If all of your games are digital you wont have that problem, and I don’t think you can play the streamable PS Plus games either. So if you don’t always have access to your tv, possibly want to play in bed, or just want something a little more intimate vs playing on whatever size flatscreen tv you have, than the PS Portal may be for you!

    It’s great when you’re on good wifi. I play CoD multiplayer so it’s okay. Now if you’re on slow and on level 7 in zombies, yeah you’re going to lag mucho.

    I really like it. There are plenty of things that would be awesome if it had but for what it’s intended for it’s great. I use it and play online shooters with my friends online while at their house from my portal. Or play something else and pass it around while someone plays a round on the ps5. It’s touchscreen. The rumble is sick. Just make sure you got WiFi and you’re good to go. Very easy to pair with your Ps5

    Absolutely incredible- the screen it’s self is clean and beautiful. Gameplay lags a little online depending on your internet speeds and takes some getting used to has it feels like a heavier bigger controller so for shooting games and online battles. Will take a while. Definitely clean though!

    This handheld has a ton of potential. Not quite perfect yet, but definitely playable. Hopefully the future updates will resolve connectivity problems. The most recent update included a streaming beta that performs much better than the remote play feature. All in all it’s worth the money and if future updates helps with the performance of remote play it’ll be golden. For those who don’t own a ps5 the update just made this handheld worth purchasing. If you subscribe to ps plus premium you’ll get access to the streaming beta and all games in its catalog.

    The PlayStation Portal is an absolute game changer. Being able to play PS5 games in any room of the house and while someone else is using the tv is amazing. The screen is beautiful, it’s very comfortable and the haptic feedback is perfect. I cannot recommend this thing enough.

    The ability to play games on your ps5 while someone else uses the TV or when you're not home is actually incredible. I play way more games now than I did before. The only people who shouldn't get it are people who live alone and don't care to play on the road.

    This is an amazing piece if technology. If you have a PlayStation 5 or a PS+ subscription, and a solid internet connection, you can't go wrong with the Portal. I've been able to play online competitive shooters with no noticable input lag, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy 14, and Veilguard all streamed the PS5, as well as try out a wealth of modern and old titles through the PS+ collection for the Portal. Very impressive.
