    I really enjoy being able to play some of my games handheld. However, sometimes the connection between the Portal and my PS5 is rough or slow so some games are more difficult to play than others sometimes. Overall though I really like it.

    It’s the only way I play my game now. I was a little skeptical because what people said online but I love this thing. I play my ps5 way more now that I have it. As long as you have a decent connection you don’t really have anything to worry about. The only downside I see from people that is legitimate is the lack of a web browser so if you’re traveling and need to connect to hotel WiFi or any public WiFi it probably isn’t gonna work. Other than that it’s definitely worth the $200 price tag.

    Portal Must Have!

    The PlayStation Portal is a must have! I love this device. It makes it easy for me to play my PlayStation in bed while my wife watches something on the TV. One thing to note is that if you’re experiencing lag, make sure your PS5 is hardwired into your network. Once I did that all lag I experienced was gone. I was even experiencing lag standing next to my PS5 while getting 500+ Mbps wirelessly. Do I wish this device could play games independently of a PS5? Yes! But I knew what this device was and it does that task extremely well.

    A nice little device that lets you play your Playstation games without having to use a TV. Would be awesome if you didn't need to have a Playstation 5 or an internet connection to play some of these games, but it works great as intended.

    I was a little worried about buying the portal but it turned out to be an amazing purchase. i gave it a 4 star score because though it is amazing playing games like call of duty is not that good. Playing Rpg games such as Diablo 4 (which i have been playing and loving)or final fantasy 7 something that is not heavy on competitive gaming it is definitely worth the purchase. if only PlayStation would use this same design for a new PlayStation standalone handheld console. i would buy it in a second

    Great if you don’t have a second tv to play your ps5 on. It sometimes has connectivity issues, but other than that it works smooth.

    Good product, could/should be better. No volume and can’t connect to my AirPods. Has to run on WiFi. Too reliable on my PS5. Love the screen, fun to play on but don’t think I’ll be keeping it.

    I got this with the intention of using it in my second floor bedroom while my PlayStation 5 is in the basement. On my home Wi-Fi this thing has worked for me flawlessly. There’s nothing like laying in your bed and playing your PlayStation. There’s nothing much to the device itself as it’s just a streaming platform. What is there feels very well-made. The screen is bright and does its job. I can’t attest to playing this on public or away from home Wi-Fi but if you’re planning on streaming in your house and you have decent Wi-Fi, it is a great device.

    Purchase it for my son when he is away from home and the only complain he has is that sometimes it can conect remotely and sometimes it does not after doing everything that could fix the issue it semms to be just a glitch somewhere in the portal software eventually hoping they fix it with an update

    Works great, use it alot. While it does need wifi it is a nice thing to have if your a big ps5 fan. Good for children or adults. Have not had any huge issues and as long as the wifi is strong/normal you wont have disconnect issues as well. Overall a nice little addon. Definitely not a item to buy if your expecting it to work without wifi etc. Common sense when buying this item.

    If you are a PS+ Premium subscriber it's worth every penny. I always thought it was a dumb idea but this is a great product after they added cloud streaming for Premium members that bypasses the PS5. If your PS5 is using ethernet the stream quality is great too. I was playing FF7 Rebirth half way across the country with no problems.

    Great alternative to playing on the big tv. Super convenient if you wanna play but someone else wants to use the tv your ps5 is plugged in to. It’s essentially a modern, larger version of the psp/ps vita, just requires a WiFi connection

    The PlayStation Portal is a sleek and well-built device that allows you to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi, providing a smooth and immersive gaming experience with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It integrates seamlessly with the PlayStation ecosystem, offering easy access to your game library and PSN features. While it relies on a stable Wi-Fi connection and the battery life could be longer, it's a great addition for PS5 owners looking for a portable gaming solution.

    Great for a second screen not as great for travel.

    It works well as long as you have very stable and consistent WiFi at both where your ps5 is and where you are trying to use the portal it works great. As a second screen around the house definitely works well. However when you try to use it as a travel platform to play away from home it decent perform as well. It often cannot hook up to hotel WiFi if they have a log in screen and has connection problems often in my experience
