Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it. Not to expensive for the value to play good amount of games from cloud. played games from my ps5 no issues bit you must have a strong internet connection. Great when you want boot the kids off the family tv and they can still play ps5.

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.

The portal is a great product for playing your PS5 on the go. I petsit a lot and sometimes you just need some sort of entertainment, so I got this to keep me busy when I'm bored at other people's houses. It's so much better than trying to use your phone for remote play. 10/10 recommend.

I love my PS portal, but just know what it’s uses and limits are before purchasing. When my main tv is in use being able to lay on the couch and play my PS5 is priceless. Also the quality of build is excellent and the screen is immaculate. If you’re on the fence go for it!

Let’s talk about what this thing ISNT to clear confusion. It’s not a standalone game player, and it’s not even the type of device you take with you to play on the train, plane, or even on crappy hotel WiFi. If you want to buy for those reasons, you’ll be disappointed. IF you’re a parent who doesn’t have the TV available in your home network, you want to play while laying in bed, or want to have quick sessions while holding a baby in one arm, then this is the device for you. With a strong local WiFi connection and a wired ps5, you’ll get excellent performance, true controller functionally, and a high fidelity screen. It’s worth it if you’re a member of a relatively slim target market.

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.

The PS Portal plays and feels just like I wanted it to. The controllers feel great to hold and use, and I can use it for hours without fatigue. The screen does better without direct sunlight on it, but the screen not being OLED isn’t a deal breaker, as I believe it does contribute to the great battery life. I don’t play games that requiere absolutely zero lag or live service games so I can’t speak on that front, but for my singe player life, it works exceedingly well. Four stars due to the lack of Bluetooth connectivity and minor network issues.

With the new update the PS Portal has so many features and uses to make the most out of it. Only con is it requires like super stable internet connection but other than that it runs smooth.

Squeezing in some PS5 Pro-ing away from the living room is great for any middle-aged gamer. Instead of feeling like I occasionally hog the TV, couch, and living room just to notch another hour of 120 hour or so on FF7: Rebirth. Or play my backlog of great indie hits like Dredge or Disco Elysium, I can just remote play anywhere in my home—like in the kitchen with my coffee while the eggs and bacon are on the skillet, or at night in bed with Powerwash Simulator or Sea of Stars and tea to wind down. Like many Sony fanboys and fan girls, I was pretty skeptical the device would work better than trying to stream PS4 games to your phone some years back (Backbone, anyone?). No it’s not the Vita 2, but as someone who’s only ever owned the Vita and Portable handhelds back in the day, there’s something far more intimate about PS5 Pro-ing on a device inches from your face instead of on a TV on the other side of a room. Yeah, no worries about somebody cutting back and forth in front of your game during pivotal cutscenes you’ve literally spent 100s of hours and the better part of the year reaching. It’s laughable but last I heard, there’s still no Bluetooth support and no—Sony’s upsell with those expensive earbuds won’t get a nibble out of me. You also can’t watch YouTube on it or your other streaming apps. No web browser either. Its sole function seems to be making sure that Last of Us Part 1 and Sony’s other first-party titles like Spider-Man 2 run as smooth as possible on the Portal. Portal isn’t for everyone, but if you’re someone who finds it harder and harder to put in gaming time as you get older, the device is totally worth owning. It feels very sturdy, but its awkward shape has caused me to drop it once or twice by the handle. If you decide to plunge into the Portalverse, do yourself a favor and buy a hard case for the handheld. I imagine accidentally sitting on a Portal is not quite the same as sitting on your phone.

This works great for some. It didn't really fit what I was hoping to get from it, but it worked fine, display was nice, no issues with it after 9 months of owning it. Best if your console is hardwired. If not, there will be some input lag esp on FPS.

Amazing remote! Great quality and very easy to use. Light weight!

I enjoy it for the most part. It gives me the opportunity to play while my wife can watch TV. I like the portability and another option of gaming that it provides. Nice to travel and still be able to play your games without having to pack up the whole system. Only downside is the lag or connectivity due to various internet speeds.

This wonderful piece of machinery has given me the chance to get my game on. As a grown man with responsibilites and children, those things come first. And i don't want to hog the tv by gaming, so i put it off and off and off and I never get to play on my PS5. Now I can easliy chill on the couch with my family while we all enjoy something on the big screen and I can disappear into a game-world of magic. A solid wifi connection and having the PS5 on a wired connection and rest mode helped to optimize performance. I love this thing.

It works great and easy to travel with. I enjoy using it, and it stays charge for a long time. Love it

My son and daughters love playing with this portal it has some many games to choose from and it's quality is so good that it seems like you're watching a movie.

surprisingly good battery life. screen is vibrant, and the lag time is minimal. i have the ps5 on wired connection, and the Portal on the 5Ghz home wifi, and COD Campaign was very playable.

Great screen, smooth controls, and perfect for playing PS5 anywhere at home. Comfortable to hold and works really well.

Every ps5 game I buy, I can play it away from my setup. I have my ps5 in my room. To hang out in the living room with my pets and family I use this thing. It’s great to get a few minutes of gaming when I want to. Plus JRPGs run great on this thing.

I would recommend this to anyone who has a ps5, i wouldnt play call of duty on it just cause of the small lag. I played madden on it and spiderman 2 and it was great. The battery on the portal is great so far.

So at first when i bought this beauty it kept disconnecting and lagging. Time and a few patches later and it rocks! I looked up videos to optimize the peformance and by switching off HDR, and a few other tweaks it works well. Sometimes my orbi router needs a reboot to get this device rolling well, but it does. Its perfect for short gaming sessions for that gamer with a busy life. When it works its pretty awesome. Its just subject to internet bandwidth is low, during peak hours. Disconnects still happen but its nowhere near as bad as when it first launched.
