Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted this thing for a while. So happy it became in stock and I was able to purchase one. Ever since it arrived, I have played on the portal 100% of the time. I prefer playing handheld on this large beautiful screen. TVs give me a headache so playing on the portal has allowed me to play my games more often. I can finally forsee myself getting through my backlog. This is a must but product if you own the ps5 and want to play handheld. I haven’t had any connection issues while playing. I use T-Mobile home internet.

Easy to use, if you have a connection to wifi anywhere you can use it, look amazing, plays amazing, and is smooth.

Very useful, comfortable, viable and good quality. Recommended

The screen is amzing, look similar to OLED diplay and controlers feels great. Battery life i good and didn’t noticed lag inputs while playing FIFA and Fornite.

Works okay. Need a really strong WiFi connection to avoid distortion on screen. Will not work away from your home network.

This product is good when it works. You definitely need a strong wifi connection, not highly recommended for online multiplayer games because it’s going to have lag, as expected from any streaming. Build quality, sound and image are very good. If you heard about the small analog sticks, it’s not so much like the switch, to me it more just having a longer distance to reach the end of any direction when you move it, which makes it a weird sensitivity learning curve, noticeable difference from the dualsense remote.

I think this product is great but isn't for everyone. This is great for someone who may not want to sit around their tv or may have family using the tv and want to get some gaming in. I use it sometimes while im cooking. You have to have a good wifi connection, i sometimes bring it with me on roadtrips and play using wifi streaming. Great purchase

This is literally too bad overall because I LOVED THIS THING. It really really really needs it's own connectivity (besides a hotspot or a travel router) for on the go gaming. Other than that, it was perfect. It's great if you are sitting in the same room as your PS5 or even perhaps in another room or even outside (depending on your setup). It just really needs it's own feed. If an ASUS steam deck and the portal had a baby, I'd buy it.

I was very pleased with the screen quality and ease of use of the portal. It is WiFi-dependant, meaning the faster WiFi you have the more seamless the gaming is/less lag. I’m able to play all of my games from anywhere where I have WiFi and I’m very pleased!

Enjoying more than I’d thought I would! Great especially if you are often in a situation where there is a lot of downtime, traveling or waiting in general, nothing helps pass the time better

I bought the PlayStation Portal as a gift for a 9-year-old boy, and he absolutely loves it! The setup was easy, and he was excited to be able to play his PS5 games without needing the TV. The screen quality is great, and the controls feel just like a regular PlayStation controller. It has quickly become one of his favorite gifts. Highly recommended

Bought one for my son to use around the house AKA in the restroom or sitting in the livingroom. His worked as intended. I decided to buy one for myself and take to work to mess with during downtime. I was worried about internet connection, lag and overall functionality of the device. I left my PS5 on rest mode got to work and at lunch linked the PSP to the internet and it only took a few seconds to connect. Now, the wifi at my work sucks but the games played flawlessly with no delays, lags, pixelization or disconnects. I played the downloaded ninja turtles collection from the monthly games for about 10 min and I played Star Wars Outlaws for about 20 min. No problems as of right now. Im guessing that for others that had trouble it was user error because i was ready to return mine if it didnt work as intended but it did work so i will keep this in my desk for when ive got downtime and or just need something to distract me. I will update if i have problems down the road.

I was skeptical about this product because I already owned a Steam deck. Having decided to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. Good battery life, pleasant grip and vibration. The screen was also a pleasant surprise, although it is not OLED. If you also do not always have the opportunity to play in front of the TV, I recommend giving the product a chance!

The PlayStation Portable Black is sleek with impressive screen quality. I purchased the offline gaming package to stream cloud gaming, and it’s awesome! The game library is diverse, making it perfect for gaming on the go. Definitely a great investment for portable gaming lovers!

So I'll start off by saying this: I am not a dad. I don't have kids, but my girlfriend does spend a lot of time of YouTube. Sure, she could go to another room and has offered to do so, but I wanted to be able to play games on the couch in the same room as her while she watched whatever she wanted. A lot of people think the Portal is bad compared to something like the Steam Deck or any device capable of Remote Play. Long story short: For the price, you will not find a better device for playing your PS5 off of the TV screen. Sure, the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or any number of other portable gaming PCs can do MORE, but they're also at least 2-3 times the cost. And when you look at something like the Backbone, the inclusion of an actual Dualsense and an 8" 1080p / 60Hz screen makes it an easy win for the Portal. So now, the cons: Even with a wired connection to the PS5 and my HDMI cable to in unplugged, there still can be some perceptible frame drops. I have fast internet but I also PC game so it's possible that I'm just more sensitive to dips in framerates. Also, don't buy this if your plan is to use it as a streaming device for anything but games. Apps like Netflix and pretty much anything from the "Media" tab will NOT stream to the Portal. Furthermore, if your PS5 goes into Rest Mode while a game is open the Portal will NOT be able to wake it from Rest Mode. You need to make sure everything is closed out before putting it into Rest Mode in order to wake it up with the Portal. If all that sounds okay to you, then I can highly recommend the PlayStation Portal! It's not too heavy, feels premium, and when you realize that a DualSense Edge controller is the same price, it doesn't sound bad. And as long as you have a good wi-fi connection, you can even play it away from home! Definitely pick one up to fill any gaps when your TV is in use.

Great system to use if you're on the go. System gives you the ability to connect to your PlayStation at home whne your away.

Good product, very easy to use and works well. Thanks

I love the portal remote player. I mostly use it when i'm traveling or at home when i'm cooking out.

Bought this as the TV is being by my wife and kids. The kids have friends over a lot as they use the tv fir shows, movies and video games. The portal is great when the tv is in use and i have some time to play. Tried it on a trip as we are over 400 miles away and it worked great. Have not used it yet with an online mutliplayer game. My ps5 is hardwired for the fastest internet I could get, which I think helps.

Great size to play your games on while on a road trip or to just let your child play! Highly recommend for parents of small children and for those parents who travel for work!
