Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is fun and useful, but also lacks in a few ways. You can't stream video/TV to it, and all the games are streamed so there's prone to be delay/lag and you can't play with no internet connection. But overall it's a pretty fun device, handy for traveling and gaming if that suits your fancy.

This device is a game changer for me. I am no longer stuckon the tv. I can play this wherever i want in my house and its so convenient if you have kids. You do need good internet for it to really work but once it does its great. You also need ps plus premium if you want to stream from their library or your digital library.

Best Buy provided the absolute best service and quality products, the team went above snd beyond to insure my product was ready for pick up and ready, the line was moving swiftly and everyone was professional, my son loved his Christmas present and haven’t stopped playing with it since we gifted it to him

I purchased my portal during the beta phase. I am now able to play game ln the cloud, but I wold have to donnect my portal to my console for other game use. Its best to purchase the premium playstation monthly fee in order to stream games from the cloud.once you pair your console to the portal, you cam play you games on the portal as you have great internet connection. The

I liked, definitely is not for everybody but if you are looking a secondary experience for your Playstation 5 set up is a good deal.

Love it feels amazing screen is amazing display amazing handheld.

I thought about getting this for a very long time but didn't because of the price because its honestly just a glorified controller with a screen but I ironically enjoy using it more than being glued to the coach. I even upgraded my data plan just so I can also use this on the go.

Really Great if you are traveling, even runs good on hot spot

This device is beautiful and it feels wonderful in your hands, but the screen is outdated and the colors feel washed out. It can stream games, but it requires a PS Premium membership which is an additional $17.99/month on top of the price of the device. Remote play is an option if you have a PS5, but you pretty much have to be at home to play it. I had issues connecting this device to my iPhone's wifi hotspot, but apparently, that is an issue with T-Mobile, and not with Sony. I just couldn't justify the price for the value I was getting with this device.

A must if you get this is a solid internet network or don’t bother. But if you do, it’s a great device for playing games away from your PS5. And if you have the highest PlayStation Plus, you can stream games without connecting to your PS5. I love my Portal

I read a lot of mixed reviews about not being able to stream your games without being on your home network…. I have been able to stream my games from anywhere with WiFi

I love it. I prefer playing the cloud streaming games from the PSPlus library than connecting to my system, but all in all this is a solid handheld.

My daughter was looking for a portable tool for playing her game. Now, she can be in the living room and not stuck in her room playing.

I'm a father of two. My time on the TV is limited to when it's not showing Disney +. If your PS5 is connected to a wired network this device runs flawlessly. For my use case of being able to play my games in my house without using the TV this is perfect. Even considering the price of the PS5 it's still way cheaper than the new Legion GO and the flagship version of the Xbox ROG. It plays incredibly smooth, I haven't noticed a frame rate drop, and only the very rare drop in visual quality

I love being able to watch tv in the same room with my husband while he plays PlayStation! We used to always be resigned to different rooms. He's had no complaints with speed and functionality and often picks up the portal now even when the tv isn't even in use. Great purchase!

I love the screen size and controller design. But if it could ve used to stream from video streaming apps it would be amazing. Also add bluetooth so we can use the headphones of our choice. If this also had OLED and a brighter display, i would pay an extra $50 for it.

With decent wifi it is an excellent experience. Its overpriced but definitely an awesome experience. I purchase not regretted .An upgrade from the backbone.

The PlayStation Portal is a game-changer for gamers who want to enjoy their PlayStation experience anywhere in their home. With its sleek design, responsive controls, and seamless integration with the PS5, it takes gaming on-the-go to the next level. The 8-inch LCD screen offers sharp, vibrant visuals, making even the most detailed games look fantastic, and the audio quality is crisp and immersive, whether you’re using the built-in speakers or a headset. What sets the Portal apart is its effortless connection to the PS5 via Wi-Fi, allowing you to stream your games with minimal lag, even when you’re away from your console. The built-in haptic feedback and adaptive triggers replicate the PS5 DualSense experience, so you get that familiar tactile feel whether you’re in the living room or lounging elsewhere. The setup is straightforward, and the controls are intuitive, making it easy for anyone to dive into gaming without a steep learning curve. The battery life is solid for extended play sessions, and while the design could feel a bit bulky for some, it’s still lightweight enough to be portable. Overall, the PlayStation Portal is perfect for anyone who wants to maximize their PlayStation gaming experience without being tied to a single room. It’s a must-have for PS5 owners looking for more flexibility and freedom in their gaming routine.

Great if you have a PS5 or just want to play on the cloud gaming. (Monthly fee) with limits. The controller and screen are perfect for a handheld gaming setup. Just wish it was a dedicated system.

I was a little skeptical at first about how much I’d actually use the PlayStation Portal Remote Player, but now I can’t imagine gaming without it! This device has completely changed the way I play, and it’s perfect for those moments when the TV is tied up or I just want to game from the comfort of another room. The setup was super simple—just a quick connection to my PS5, and I was good to go. The gameplay experience is incredibly smooth. The crisp display and responsive controls make it feel just like playing directly on the console. Even games with more demanding inputs handle perfectly, with minimal lag. What really surprised me is how comfortable it is to hold for extended gaming sessions. The design feels well-balanced, and the buttons and triggers have the same premium feel I’ve come to expect from Sony. It’s like having the DualSense controller and a beautiful screen combined in one seamless package. One thing I love is the flexibility it offers. Whether I’m gaming from bed, the kitchen, or even out on the patio, I’ve got my PS5 right there with me. It’s also great for keeping the peace in a shared household—I can still enjoy my games without monopolizing the TV! If you’re on the fence about this, I’d say go for it. The PlayStation Portal Remote Player is an absolute game-changer for any PS5 owner. It’s been worth every penny for the added convenience and freedom it provides. Highly recommend!
