All i would say is save your money and wait for an upgraded version. When this device works well and has no lag its the best handheld you can buy for the money, but when it disconnects snd lag consistently you start to wonder whats the purpose of this…

This is a great invention by Sony being able to pay you play PS5 on the goal is a great idea. Unfortunately, my home Wi-Fi did not cooperate. Therefore I had to return sell this

The device works great and has a decent time streaming games and works without a ps5 console however a 160 subscription per year on top oh needing wifi all the time is annoying for $360 id rather spend $400 on a steam deck

I got this so I can continue playing games while someone else uses the main tv. works GREAT when on the same network as the PS5, basically no lag, very similar to the Wii U in that aspect. When I use a mobile 5G network there is some lag but still playable, I usually use this to play classic PS1 or PS2 games, I would not play competitively with this. its built perfect for casual gaming! I would recommend this to anyone who needs/wants to share the main TV with a friend, family member or significant other, they can watch their shows and you can keep playing your games in the same room with them. its fantastic

A good device for remote access to ps5 console.
I believe this works for ps4 as well but I havent tested that.
This device is an easy setup. Just power up and follow instructions on linking with console and setup wifi.
The devices feels comfortable in hands while playing.
The display is a good size and sound/brightness can be adjusted.
You must have a very strong internet connection otherwise you will notice lag while playing both online and offline.
Promising Concept, but Connectivity Issues Held It

After seeing so many positive reviews and knowing how flawlessly my PS5s run, I thought the PlayStation Portal would be a no-brainer. My consoles are hardwired, so I expected a smooth experience—but unfortunately, I ran into significant lag that made even single-player offline games nearly unplayable.
To be fair, this may be a result of my internet service provider, but I tested alternative remote play solutions (like apps on my computer), and those worked without issue. Further I pay for higher speeds and I do not have this issue to other devices. When the Portal did work, I really enjoyed the experience—it has a lot of potential.
Ultimately, though, the inconsistent performance was too frustrating, and I ended up returning it. I genuinely hope future updates or hardware iterations resolve these issues, because the concept is great.

Pretty neat device, seems very fragile though so if you're rough with your stuff get a good case. I'm able to hotspot with my phone and use this while traveling with very little interruptions. However I use 5g and my PS5 is connected via Ethernet. So do your research before purchasing

Bought the Portal to actually be in the living room and the family while gaming. It's great to relax lying down on the couch. It works great for that function and I can play all my favorite PS5 games (Stellar Blade, Helldivers) seamlessly. The UI animation for connecting to the PS5 is super cool. Small thing but it adds to the premium feeling.
No connection issues, including with the Pulse Elite headset. There's stutters here and there but I hardly notice it. Input lag is minimal, and I can perform well in the above mentioned action games. This is definitely one of my best gaming purchases. At $200, it feels like a steal.
