    Sony really upgraded this so much this year with the software updates. Being able to play games directly from cloud is awesome. This feels like a standalone handheld device now.

    Weak connectivity (small range) and Lag

    The PlayStation Portal is unfortunately not a great option for FPS gamers due to several limitations. The most significant issue is noticeable input lag, which makes precise aiming and quick reactions difficult. This problem is compounded by connectivity issues; even with a strong connection (my internet 500 mbps) to the modem, the Portal tends to lag whenever you move even slightly away from the router. These combined factors make playing fast paced, competitive FPS games on the Portal a frustrating experience.

    I got this for my husband and he loves this thing. He’s currently traveling and travels often for work and has been able to use this when he has a little bit of time to unwind and relax. It connects super easy to his PS five at home.

    I was expecting more from this. But it is a device that basically frees up the tv that the console is connected to.

    My son loves his “PlayStation on the go”as he calls it. There’s only one minor issue, the battery life isn’t that long but it’s a great product overall

    Love the way the device feels in the hands. Picture quality is great with minimal lag. Internet is the key, so make sure that is up to par, and its smooth sailing. Some occasional slow connections but not very common.

    This has been a game changer for me. I never had time to game. Always entertaining kids. The has given me a chance to get a game in here or there when I have a minute. Connection is great and controls are smooth! Great buy!

    Good product if you don't have a dedicated TV to play games on. Streaming is ok, but streams from PS5 box - I am not yet able to get games to stream otherwise.

    If you already have a Steam Deck, Ally, or any handheld, you're better off using Chiaki or Remote Play. You're only streaming at 15mbps max. Any motion, especially on the low quality LCD the portal is using, is gonna look like a smeary mess. Using Chiaki on my Steam Deck Oled, I can bump up the quality to 30mbps with roughly 2-5ms of input latency just like the Portal.

    Update your ps5 to ensure it can be paired with the portable. Otherwise, it is what we expected and my child loves it.
