Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being able to have your PS on the go is great. I travel a ton for work but I’ve been able to play without having to pack my entire PS5. The system will sometimes lag which is sometimes expected with some WiFi but other than that, I have had no other issues.

Its great to use anytime anywhere, the lcd its perfect, the sound great, battery life good

Best option for remote play on PS5, No question. Crisp 1080p screen, loud speakers, great performan if you have stable wifi connection. A bit heavy with odd weight distribution...but still lighter and more ergonomic than any alternative. Awkward USB-C location...power and volume buttons locations are tricky.

This may not be for everyone but for me it’s perfect. This device is mainly if you want to play on bed or if you have someone wanting to use the tv and you want to play. It has great build quality and I haven’t had any technical problems. My only complaint is I tried playing away from home but no internet is strong enough but in my opinion whose really gonna leave there house with it

I get to now play on the go! What more could I want! Now you can stream on it. Dont think, just buy!

Great product! Great look, runs smooth and the screen is a decent size with quality graphics

For a while I didn't want a PlayStation Portal but then I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on one overall I can say it's a pretty cool device especially with the latest update that they gave us where you can stream PS5 games and don't have to have the actual console on. I will say that every once in awhile I do get a little bit of shutter when playing games but the quality of these games for it being only 1080p at 60 frames is really nice. The battery life is decent it seems I got a few hours before it required me to hook it up again. The actual design itself is beautiful and it's really cool looking. I would say for $200 it's not a bad purchase at all. Especially if sometimes you just don't want to sit down in a chair and be full blown on your TV you can just lay in your bed or sit on a couch plug in a pair of headphones and jam. I can't say whether or not I recommend this for everyone but those that want to do simply that sit on a couch and jam without having to sit in front of your TV this would be a great option and with the new PlayStation 5 streaming That's in beta form by the way so not all the games on PlayStation Plus are available right now but there's like a 120 it's worth the $200 price point I'm happy with my purchase.

Works perfectly on my home WiFi. Took about 15 minutes to get it updated and connected then it was game time. Battery lasts about 3 hours but that may vary. Fast shipping I ordered it on a Friday and had it by Monday.

My son loves it and apparently works great for his set up

I didn't know i was going to enjoy this device so much, games run great not too noticeable lag, now I can play while my wife and kids watch tv. Games look good

Excellent Sony product! Pairs perfectly with the PS5. Screen is HD and crisp. Games must be uploaded to the PS5 storage. If not, the game disc must be present in the PS5 to play remotely. Highly recommend a quality case and screen protector for the portal since it is a larger handheld device. Highly recommend for the gamer on the go, that does not always have the time to play while at home (or on the family TV).

I was very very hesitant to get the Portal, i wasnt sure i would use it enough to make it worth it, nor was i sure if it worked well due to a lot of reviews saying its laggy and takes a lot of time to connect. I am pleased to say it is SO worth it! The over all build of the portal is great, at first glance i thought it looked fragile and cheaply made, but it is much sturdier than i thought. The controller grips feel exactly the same as the duelsense controllers, just with slightly smaller control sticks. Lets just say my internet at my house is patchy at best. My provider is very unreliable but its the only option in my area. With that being said in my house i have no connection issues with the portal and very little lag (only stutters if we have a bunch of devices on the wifi at once and "high traffic times" when close neighbors' signals jam up), but that was maybe one or two nights. I also had issues getting disconnected from the wifi one night but im chalking that up to the service provider and not the portal! Over all i would say, if you would like to play PS5 as your tv is taken up by a significant other or you want to watch something as you game, the portal is for you. If you want to go lay in bed and play a bit before falling asleep, its for you. If you travel (to places with wifi) its for you. I didnt think id use it as much as i have, i originally thought "oh its not for me", but i have found myself making excuses to use the Portal. I have run a variety of games on it, from simple games like PS classic games and Stardew Valley, to more demanding games like FF7 rebirth demo, God of War Ragnorok, etc. All have worked perfectly. The screen is bright and looks great even for just an lcd. One down point is the fact that the lowest volume setting on it is still VERY loud, so if im playing in bed and my fiancee wants to read, i end up needing headphones, which you can use a 3.5mm wired headphones, but not bluetooth! If you have the means to get one and are able to snag one as its in stock, do it! Its very worth it for even casual gamers!

I didn’t expect to love this thing as much as I did. It runs shockingly well and way better than I expected a streaming device to. I’m genuinely impressed how well it works with any game I’ve played on it so far, from fps, RPGs and even MMOs (FFXIV). There’s nothing more I can really say about it. It just works. Just keep in mind, as with any and every streaming device, your experience and enjoyment with it will depend on your ISP. If you have a good internet provider and speed, your experience will reflect mine. If your internet isn’t quite up to the task, your experience will most likely not be as robust as mine is.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! LIGHT WEIGHT GOOD QUALITY & FEATURE'S!!! SHE A Beauty

I love it but the only thing is you’ll have to have good internet or hotspot for it to work well

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.

Live it. Works really good. Had connection issues at first but seems to be working bette now. Great for on the go gaming

Sony’s deliberate decision to not include Bluetooth to force people to buy their Bluetooth buds is a joke. Add to that Sony not even bothering to optimize their own product this many years in is a joke. If you connect your PlayStation to a TV that supports HDR, you have to manually disable it settings for games that support HDR to not appear as a blown out unviewable mess. YEARS after launch Sony hasn’t bothered to detect a portal is connected and disable HDR. It just shows the level of care and consideration for the consumer that Sony has put into this product. For reference to those frustrated the quickest fix for HDR is to turn on ‘Invert Colors’ in accessibility, which is in itself a joke. I had to change the broadcast range of router for the portal to connect to the network when no other device had an issue. I just happened to find of a thread of someone who tried it. WHY?

I've had a PS5 for years, and have recently started traveling a lot more. I really wanted to be able to still play some games, while sitting in airports, hotels, etc, and lugging around a PS5 isn't really an option. I didn't even realize the Portal existed, and was thrilled when I learned about it. I picked one up from Best Buy, and it arrived pretty quickly later. Turning it on, the quality and built is well in-line with what I'd expect from Sony. I connected to my home wifi, and then input my Playstation ID. I made sure remote play was enabled on the PS5, and we were quickly in business. Man, do I love being able to play on this thing! The controls feel just right at home as if I was playing my PS5. The screen is great. Nice and bright, and does a good job for a portable device. While Sony does market this for just largely using at home, I read about being able to use it remotely. Thankfully, I've also had great success with being able to do that too! We have a Comcast connection, and I've been able to connect to various wifi networks and be able to largely do this just fine. There have been the occasional time when it lagged so much that I wasn't even able to play remotely, but restarting the PS5 seems to usually do the trick for fixing that. I've been very happy with my Portal, and am sure glad Sony put this product out!

I love it! I wish it were able to operate better when further away from home , but I truly love it. It’s nice to be to play not in one area.
