Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone with limited space in my room, I cannot hook up a TV to play the PS5 so this device is amazing for playing in bed. I own a Steam Deck that can do the same thing but requires a little bit more setup, and I personally prefer first party as it was an easy to connect and fluid experience. The screen is also pretty big which is a must have for me, so I think this is the perfect device. My internet router and modem are both in the room so connectivity is strong.

ITS WORTH IT!!! The streaming quality is surprisingly smooth as long as you have decent Wi-Fi. Games look sharp, the controls feel exactly like a DualSense, and there’s basically no learning curve. It really feels like you’re holding a full PS5 controller with a screen in the middle.If you have a PS5 and want more freedom in when and where you play, the PS Portal is absolutely worth it. It’s simple, it works, and it makes gaming way more convenient.

The PlayStation Portal is a sleek, portable way to stream your PS5 games anywhere with strong Wi-Fi. Its crisp 8-inch screen and full DualSense controls feel premium. However, it lacks Bluetooth audio and only works via remote play—no cloud or native apps. Great for dedicated PS5 users seeking flexibility.

What i can say about the ps portal, its good for casual on the go gaming. Story based games isnt too bad. If your looking for on the go competitive play type of experience this isnt it due the fact of input delay depending on your internet connection but most of the time itll be decent. Its a good streaming device

Great for PS5 owners who want to play anywhere at home. Streaming is smooth with solid Wi-Fi, controls feel just like a DualSense, and the screen looks sharp. Downsides: no native/cloud gaming and it’s useless without a PS5 or strong internet. Worth it if you mainly want portable PS5 Remote Play.

Love this purchase, I use it everyday. Works fantastic with the new update where I can stream games with just my ps plus subscription. If you are on the fence just get it.

Great device. Works extremely well as a portable gaming system, however, just make sure you have a strong internet connection. If that is weak the device does glitch, but I blame that more on the internet than the PS Portal device.

This is in no way an official song handbeld lime a psp or the ps vita but if does allow you to remote play your ps4/5 games as well as join the cloud streaming beta so yoh can play backwards compatible games from the premium plus catalog if you have a premium membership. The PS Portal connected to my internet with zero problems. There was an instance where it wouldn’t connect but after a restart of both the ps5 and the portal the 2 devices connected again no problem. The better your wifi is in your home or whatever wifi yoh connect to the better your connection will be. So far this device has been an awesome handheld for playing my ps5 games in different rooms in my house. I would definitely recommt this device to any gamer looking to lound around in different areas of their homes or even gojng on vaction. Its very reliable in the experience I’ve had with the device. I can only see this getting better with future updates. Hopefully Sony will add an update to allow gamers to use any future bluetooth headset but for now the only thing gamers can do it shell out another $200 for proprietary earbuds with the PS Link technology to easily allow a connection for audio and chat or use a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Either way, i trust song will listen tk its community and make the correct decisions to make the device better in the future. For now, it is what it is. A remote play device designed to exacltly that and does a great job of doing.

While the presentation of the hardware is a bit janky, the overall software side is very nice and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I am able to stream from my PS5 to this device on my home wi-fi. It's great as I don't always have access to the tv. It's also nice that I can play PS4 games as well (on the ps5 of course). It basically is a mirrored display and works like the remote function from the ps vita. I was able to go into different rooms and the quality pretty much held with little to no input lag what so ever. There were moments of a blotchy image but it was very rare in the few hours I've played with it. Overall, if you are looking to remote play in your home without getting a secondary controller for your phone, this is a good option. I wish I could play games natively on it as playing psp and vita games would have been excellent for this. Oh well, a good remote device overall.

This is really great for using when you cannot be near where your ps5 is located. I use it upstairs when the room is occupied where my ps5 is being used. This set up does take a little getting used too with the controls so separated and at times feels like there could be a little lag since it basically is just mirroring your ps5 over an internet connection

A great product when I want to play PlayStation on the living room tv and my girlfriend wants to watch her shows at the same time. Before you buy though the product cast to your PlayStation so you’ll need good internet to use this product.

Rocking the kids to sleep? Portal! Kids watching baby shark, on your LG OLED?! Portal! Wife “watching” reality tv as she scrolls ticktock? Portal! Trust me! If you are a dad who wants to get in some gaming whenever possible, this is a good buy. You can either remote into your ps5 or pay extra for cloud streaming.

This is a great system on the go WiFi connection needed and pairing to your ps5 as well, if this device is for a minor make sure to research information on pairing device to a minors account before purchasing. Was able to pair with my sons minor account took some research but was able to do so and he loves it

I bought this specifically for streaming from my PS5 so I could let the family use the tv and I could do my thing anywhere in the house I had wifi. While it's use is limited to PS streaming it works absolutely wonderful for my needs. I bought an open box and I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it. The 8 inch screen is perfect and is crystal clear. The sound quality is also excellent. I have had very few connection issues and that's only been due to the plaster walls I have or hiccups in my mesh wifi. I love the fact it's incredibly light and the battery life is amazing, easily 4 hours or so playing darktide.

Amazing console able to play games away from home only draw back is if ps5 hasn’t been on for a day connection will not connect. Although when you have a personal WiFi at another house connection issues are irrelevant but if at a hotel terrible would recommend streaming rather than playing own library games

The PlayStation Portal surprised me in the best way. It’s super convenient, lightweight, and the screen looks crisp and smooth while playing. The DualSense controls feel exactly like a PS5 controller, so it doesn’t feel like a downgrade at all. As long as you have a solid Wi-Fi connection, the gameplay is fast and responsive with almost no noticeable lag. It’s perfect for gaming in bed, on the couch, or when the TV is being used by someone else.

One of the bestttt purchases iv made in a long while...clear..fast..very impressed..(!!ATTENTION/REMINDER this is not a stand alone thing you NEED a ps5 console as a whole this is for REMOTE play Only so you will need to be able to connect to the actual ps5 itself...!!!)

This is the perfect gift for PS5 owners. My son enjoys playing his games without having to use the TV. He is able to relax and play whatever he wants. The only problem I really have with it is taking it on the go and finding a source of WiFi for it to work without lagging.

Pros: Seamless Remote Play: Lets you stream your PS5 games anywhere with Wi-Fi without needing to tie up your main TV. Portable PlayStation Experience: Feels like a dedicated PlayStation handheld with DualSense controls, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback. No Need to Buy Extra Games: Uses your existing PS5 library, so you don’t have to spend extra on new games. Instant Pairing with PS5: Super easy setup if you’re already in the PlayStation ecosystem. Best for Households Sharing a TV: Great if someone else is using the TV but you still want to play. Cons: Wi-Fi Dependent: No cloud gaming or offline play—needs a solid home Wi-Fi or fast internet to work well. No Native Apps: Can’t run games or apps like Netflix or YouTube natively—strictly for remote play. Battery Life: Around 4-6 hours depending on use—not bad, but not stellar. Limited to PS5 Owners: If you don’t already have a PS5, it’s essentially useless.

I purchased this to play from the comfort of my bed when I don’t wanna be sitting next to my TV screen. So long as you have a strong Internet connection you will have no issues with game drops or graphics dropping resolution. If you are using this at home, you can use your Bluetooth gaming headset since they are connected to the PlayStation five. You can take this with you and use it with your hotspot but just know that I timed my hotspot data usage with this and saw that in 45 minutes of playing call of duty I burned through 5 GB of hotspot. You cannot use any Bluetooth device with this if you’re outside of the home however it does have the earphone jack and most gaming headsets have a headphone auxiliary connection. Do not listen to false reviews of people who do not own one. Those reviews are just speculation and assumptions. you can take this out of the house. The only thing you need to do is have the PlayStation on rest mode at all times otherwise you will not be able to turn it on remotely if your PlayStation is completely turned off which is OK with me since I like to leave it on rest mode at all times to download any updates that are available. Overall, I believe this is a good handheld device. If you do not want to be sitting in front of your TV screen or want to go anywhere outside of your home that has a solid Wi-Fi connection. This will work for you. If your phone plan has a lot of gigabytes of data for hotspot it will work for you too. I like this device a lot when setting it up I was a bit scared as the resolution looked pretty bad, but took a few minutes to go from 420 to 1080 P during initial set up. i never had any issues since. Trust me just purchase one you want regret it at 200 bucks this is a gaming device.
