Just like the steam deck opened up possibilities for me to play games in my steam collection which I have not touched in a long time, so did this beautiful device. Yes I was disappointed when they first announced it that I would not be able to do cloud streaming onto it without a ps5, but despite that, I am thoroughly enjoying the freedom this gives to play wherever and whenever I want around the house. Been on a MHW binge with all the rage after Wilds announcement. What a blast.

As long as you got a good stable wifi its great! Nothing like joining in fighting for democracy on Helldivers 2 with friends no matter where I am at. Comfortable to hold, great battery life and ensures im not using my phone for remote play and wasting its use.

I really enjoy using this, especially when the TV is in use by other family members. I'm a dad, and being able to play PS5 handheld is great when anyone else wants to use the TV.
I wouldn't use it to play frame dependent games like Street Fighter 6 due to input lag, but it's great for something like Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, where timing doesn't need to be perfect.
8/10 definitely recommend it to parents that want to play PS5 and share the TV.

PlayStation portal is a fantastic local streaming platform. Controllers feel like holding a ps5 controller and the screen is a great size and looks fantastic. Connectivity and latency work surprising well and was able to play games like persona 3 reload with no issues at all. Highly recommend

After about two months of waiting i was finally able to track one of these down! And I absolutely love it not having to be in my office to catch up on some games is awesome! And yeah i could've gotten a backbone sure but that ties up my phone , this is dedicated remote play which made ot easier to connect, set up, and get right to gaming! The lack of support for earbuds beyond the sony ones is a bit of a let down but i have it on low (its gets pretty loud) and go from there!

Decided to buy one because of the PS plus streaming capabilities now and it was well worth it. No lag or glitches and it's not even fully released yet. I don't really use it for remote play but even that works pretty well. Highly satisfied with this purchase.

Connectivity isn’t the best through the device itself but overall it’s a great concept and love how Sony added the cloud streaming option now but you still need internet requirements for both cloud streaming and console mirroring.

PS Portal was a great purchase. When my family is using the TV in the family room I can still play my PS5. Have taken it to other places outside my home and connected via the hotspot on my phone. It use to disconnect while in the house sometimes, but I connected my PS5 directly to the router instead of via wifi and the portal hasn't lost connection once since then. Would recommend if your on the fence about purchasing. Wish Sony offered an official case for it though.

I get that the Portal is somewhat divisive but I kind of like it. I get to keep on playing when my girlfriend wants to use the TV and that's all I really want it for. I personally wouldn't use it for anything competitive (EAFC for me) or any game that requires quick and precise movement (any FromSoftware games) but it works well for anything else.

When I first bought this product I quite frankly did not enjoy it due to the connectivity issues. Through my research I’ve discovered that the issues has be corrected and may purchase this again after returning it.

I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he’s been hooked! This little portable PlayStation is so easy to set up and the PlayStation console can be in rest mode while he plays on the go. Super affordable and makes game time with my man super easy!

The connectivity isn’t always great. Has potential if they can improve the connectivity and reduce lagging when connecting directly to the console. Works well with the streaming beta with little lagging even on mobile hotspot. However, the selection of games you can stream is very limited. Also when streaming games don’t always save.
