Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works great, we love it. Comfortable and easy to use

despite the discourse online before its release the portal took the industry by storm. i was able to get .ine before the holidays and was very much looking forward to playing my playstation on the go. so far im more than pleased with being able to play some old and so.e new games in a different way.

Love the device .. best alternative to getting a stand alone console screen is clear .. will definitely recommend

Very easy set up and very sleek great especially on trips.

It runs really well and is very convenient when you share living space with others. I don't like that whenever you want to switch profiles you have to sign completely out and sign back in with the other account. On the Playstation, you can just switch accounts. And i wish there was a function for adjusting the screen display, not just make it brighter or darker. I'd like to be able to adjust the contrast for example.

Great response time Nice graphics Just dont like the battery life

Great device that does the job. If you have a great internet connection, you won’t be disappointed. Sometimes you just want to sit in a different room and game in a more comfortable position. Sound is good, screen is great and controls are great (minus the onscreen touchpad)

This is a 5 Star product when your PS5 is hardwired to your router. The screen is gorgeous. I know statistically it isn’t an OLED but being 1080p makes a huge difference in display quality. As a father of 2 it increases the amount of available time I can play my PlayStation by 2 to 3 times the amount I played before.

Great if you have a PS5 or just want to play on the cloud gaming. (Monthly fee) with limits. The controller and screen are perfect for a handheld gaming setup. Just wish it was a dedicated system.

I've been impressed with how well it works compared to the normal remote play app. Noticably smoother and having a full PS5 controller is very nice. Kind of need a premium subscription to take full advantage but I've enjoyed it so far.

Reason for 4 stars is that even though my ps5 is wired to gig speed, there is still noticeable lag with wireless conenction. The update for cloud streaming makes this more of a portable gaming device, but be aware that online multiplayer games will obviously not run as smoothly as console. For reference, a single player game I tested (mlb the show) felt as if I was late on swings. On a side note, it took longer than expected to link with console.

What i expected for my son! Lots of fun while the internet connection works on both sides!

Very convenient way to stream from your ps5. This device allows me to play late and not wake up the wife and kids. A PS5 console is required to use this device and console must be in rest mode to turn on from the portal. The main gripe I have about the device is my hands cramp up from holding the portal after minimal game time, but I do not experience this holding the Dualsense. Also, the resolution is not as clean as playing from the actual console. This is expected since you are streaming from the console, but makes me wish I was playing on the TV instead for better graphical quality. All in all it is a very handy device and glad I made the purchase so I can stay up later to play BG3 with the bois.

Battery does not last, great screen other than that awesome handheld

I recently purchased the PlayStation Portal from Best Buy as an open box item, and overall, it’s a solid addition to my gaming setup. The standout features for me are the controller feel and the screen size. The controllers are well-designed, comfortable, and responsive, providing an immersive gaming experience that matches the quality of a traditional PlayStation controller. The screen size is just right, making it easy to enjoy detailed graphics and gameplay without straining my eyes. However, it’s important to note that the graphics quality is highly dependent on your WiFi strength. When my connection is strong, the visuals are crisp and clear, enhancing the overall experience. But when the WiFi signal fluctuates, there’s a noticeable drop in graphic quality, which can be a bit frustrating. In summary, the PlayStation Portal is a great device for those who want to enjoy their PlayStation games on the go, provided they have a stable WiFi connection.

Package came in time. The PS Portal was also well wrapped. Tested it instantly, and no regrets. I can game wherever, whenever as long there is internet. I also tried mobile hotspot. Not the greatest experience, but its playable

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

REMEMEBER, this is a straming device, not a standalone gaming system. You WILL experience minor stuttering. It will be different from the experience directly from the PS5 on a TV. With that being said, it is completely playable and I have put some hours into it without issues. I did, though, have to make sure my PS5 was connected via Ethernet cable because WiFi was too unstable to have smooth gameplay. Once I connected my ps5 directly to my router via Ethernet cable, the Portal worked really well. The screen is not OLED but it looks really nice. The controller feels great in the hand. I have medium sized male hands. I have tried PS5 remote gaming through my iPad Pro 11 inch with ps5 controller, iPhone, and MacBook. I’d still choose the Portal over those. It just feels better. And I like that the controller lights up green when turning on the the Pip-Boy light in Fallout 4. Overall it’s a great product as long as you know what you’re getting.

Love how big the screen is and that I can play my games when I am away from home.

The best psp portable ever. It does everything I want it to do and more
