Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device became more interesting to me once Sony opened up the cloud. It has great visuals, Sony Sound, and if you have a great internet connection will connect to your PS5 and the cloud. The software has been updated for ease of use but the lack of bluetooth hurts those who may have other devices they would like to connect to the device. Overall a great added peripheral for your PS5 or PRO experience to play anywhere at home or away if you can connect to a great wifi on the road.

Comfortable and easy to play anywhere. Easy setup and quick connection. High quality screen.

This device is perfect for Dads or people with a partner. I find that this device solves a very particular but very real problem. Let’s say you want to use your PS5 but the TV is being used by someone else: your partner, kids, in-laws etc. You could theoretically put a tv in another room and play your PS5 there. Maybe even in your office if you have one. Well think again pal, god-forbid you’re not in the living room with any of the aforementioned people as the TV blares another episode of Bake Off or 90 day fiance. All you wanna do is play Diablo IV, or Monster Hunter, or Spider-Man 2 but you can’t hog the TV for your silly little video games when you could be enjoying every one else’s company. Even on nights where its just you and one other person, your presence on the couch is more important than the sweet sweet loot you could be getting in your preferred digital world. Well if any of that sounds like you, wallow no more. The PSP lets you enjoy all that your PS5 offers without having to sacrifice your presence in the family room. Now instead of hearing, “Why dont you spend more time with us?” or “I don’t care what we watch, as long as you’re here.” Prepare yourself for “Hey, are you listening?”, “Hey can you pause that?”, and my new favorite, “could you turn it down a bit?” No longer am I staying up late to play games only to wake up a few hours later in a groggy nightmarish state. No longer am i sacrificing quality hang-out time in the living room worh everyone in my life. No longer am i the seemingly antisocial gamer that society perceives me to be. I can finally be with the people i love all while playing my playstation games and not feel bad about it! My only complaint is that it occasionally drops frames and i have an ideal internet set up. Otherwise, its a near daily use for me. It’s convenient, light, and fun to use.

The PlayStation Portal is a game-changer (pun intended). I've been using it for a while now, and I honestly can't believe how much I love it. With my internet connection (500 down and 100 up), I forget I'm even streaming games. This is my new favorite way to experience my PS5 titles. The screen is gorgeous, the controls feel fantastic, and the experience is seamless. It's basically a PS5 in your hands, and it's amazing.

easy to use, needs fast internet it wont work off a hotspot in most places

This is a good bang for your buck if you plan to play at home. The ability to play anywhere in the house is very nice. You will want to hardwire the console to prevent any lag. Feels nice in the hands and the screen is very clear.

I took a chance on this open-box PlayStation Portal from Best Buy, and wow – it’s absolutely flawless! The device looked brand new, with no scratches, marks, or signs of use. Everything was included: original packaging, charger, and documentation. Using it has been a game-changer for my household. I can now play my PS5 games seamlessly in any room while someone else hogs the TV. The 1080p screen is crisp and vibrant, the DualSense controls feel identical to the PS5 controller (haptics and all!), and latency is barely noticeable on my home Wi-Fi. For the price I paid (open-box discount + Best Buy’s reliability), this was an unbeatable value. If you see an open-box unit available, grab it with confidence. A perfect 10/10!

So let me preface this by saying its a good device. It feels good in the hands. Its not heavy but it doesnt feel cheap either. Im not saying you wouldnt experience some damage if you dropped it but it should hold up to normal and wear and tear. Why i cant give it 4 or 5 stars is that the device lives or dies based on your internet connection. Even with my ps5 pro hardwired to my router the portal's performance varied drastically even when gaming in my own home. Sometimes it was glorious, other times it was horrendous. No rhyme or reason.

Great item. Works well, easy to use. The entire family has one for each room of the house.

Works perfect around the house, i honestly dont take it out but around the house this thing rules, its very comfortable to hold, the screen is impressive very happy with this purchase

Got this for myself for Christmas and I was happy to get it using a tracker. A lot of scalpers purchasing this and costing more than retail. This PS5 accessory is needed if you have your PS5 located in the living room and you are sharing the tv with family members. This has been a savior and the battery life last about 4-5 hours depending on the settings I.e lower brightness level, haptic and trigger etc. works flawlessly and I love that the screen itself is accommodating.

System arrived in excellent conditions. It was a gift for my partner and they absolutely love it. There has not been any issues. The PS Portable connects to your playstation, so you must have a playstation 1st in order to use for best experience. It also connects via infernet so a good connection is mecessary for both the PS and the Portable to play with quality. There is a beta option within but you must have PS+ to use. For us this worked great. Im happy i was able to get it.

Honestly can’t go wrong with the device, does exactly what it says it does flawlessly. What some people don’t understand is this isn’t a stand-alone device but much rather a remote play device. Long as you have the ps5 to pair then you’re good to go. It’s convenient when you just want to relax anywhere without being locked into one area or someone wants to use the TV. Overall, I’ve had no issues with the device and would recommend to someone that is looking for convenience with the ps5

5 Stars all the way! This product solves all the problems I had with getting downtime to play. I typically play when the kids go down for bed. This enables me to play while not taking the television from my wife while still being in the same room with her. I highly recommend this product, please keep in mind as I told my wife it is essentially a controller with a screen. I have played a number of online games with no issues such as Destiny 2.

Well you can spend $500 to stream and remote play your games or spend $200. I tried the Xbox Rog Ally and it’s nice ergonomically but that’s where it stops for me. I even got it for $489 but to me it’s not ready and Windows 11 isn’t helping its case. With the PlayStation Portal no hassle or fuss unless you have bad internet but all in all I’m glad I made the switch.

Very convenient. Connectivity is ehh my console is downstairs but, overall great handheld.

Very light weight for its size. Had great picture and is very easy to use

Gaming on the go Need decent wifi but the image quality is better than Nintendo can dream of.

Playstation Portal allows me to access the gaming world in any room of my home and on the road! I love this device. Connectivity could be improved, but overall a successful use of remote play

Initial opinion: Great clarity, onscreen setup was relatively simple, decent battery life (can also plug-in/charge while playing), good sound quality (has 3.5mm headphone jack, but haven't tried using USB-C to see if that works too), D-pad is replaced with a button on left side. I couldn't find a charging indicator/status light anywhere when I plugged it back in which I thought was odd. After playing a few hours on it, the only downside I found so far is that at times it does lag, freeze, get grainy and that was on the same home WiFi network with the PS5 in the next room. My router is a Netgear AX1800 and both the console/Portal were within 20 feet of the router. Since this isn't an issue of lack of bandwidth, it must be the Portal itself, especially since others have reported the same issue. However, it's nice to be able to play while someone else is watching TV. I was playing a downloaded game and haven't tried it with a physical disc game yet, but the lag may not be tolerable in the middle of an action scene/battle.
