    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.

    Even though its not a stand alone system this is the product we needed. I love this thing. I can be hundreds of miles from home but as long as i have a decent connection to wifi i can hop ont my PS5 with remote play but what truly made this a five star product was the addition of cloud gaming and so far sony and the Playstation brand have done it well. Until we get a new PSP this will have to do and its not a compromise.

    Thanks to the ststem update on 11/19/2024, you can play stream from the cloud server without connecting to PS5 if you are a PlayStation Plus Premium member. The choice is limited, and they say that this is still a beta test, but it works! The save data are stored in the cloud and synchronized to PS5, so you can play seamlessly with both consoles. I am on a vacation away from home, but I can play at the hotel without flustrations. Hope this would be the official function and the choice of games will be increased.

    A Good Gadget for Gamers

    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 hate that i like this and it works well. I cant wait until they have a legitimate portable player rather than just a streaming device - its very dependent on having a perfect wifi signal. however, when it works, it works great!

    3.5 star rating for PS Portal

    The PS Portal has a beautiful display with high resolution. The controls feel just like a PS5 controller. Battery Life was longer than I expected. This product only falls short with its WiFi capabilities. Seem that the only way to avoid disconnecting, resolution loss, freezing and pixelation is to be on a strong home WiFi network. Even if your cell phone hotspot reads at 100+ meg net speed. The wireless signal isn’t sufficient to avoid all these problems I encountered. Limiting the portability aspect which is a big let down. Another thing I wasn’t aware of is that you PS5 has to be on at home while you use on the go. I’m leaning more to a 3.5 star rating tbh. The PS Portal would easily be a 5 star if it worked on cell networks without trouble but this is not what I found to be the case.

    Portal just got even better. This midnight black looks so much better than the white one. Make sure your ps5 is connected to your modem with the Ethernet cable for the best experience. Play your ps5 anywhere you go, even without WiFi if you phone has a good hotspot. And now you don’t even need a ps5 to use it, just pay for the premium ps plus & you can stream games from the cloud.
