If you are a PS+ Premium subscriber it's worth every penny. I always thought it was a dumb idea but this is a great product after they added cloud streaming for Premium members that bypasses the PS5. If your PS5 is using ethernet the stream quality is great too. I was playing FF7 Rebirth half way across the country with no problems.

I love the PlayStation Portal but I have a specific use case. My PS5 is in my living room and I want to play PS5 while in the bedroom while watching TV. This works well for this. The feel of the device feels great and it has a nice, large screen. I tried to use things like the Backbone but could never find a screen that was this large that would fix the Backbone. I really need to bigger screen to play these PS5 games. I can see this device could be a problem for someone that wants to play PS5 games outside the home. I have never tried doing this and don't see a use case where I would need to do that at this time.

Great alternative to playing on the big tv. Super convenient if you wanna play but someone else wants to use the tv your ps5 is plugged in to. It’s essentially a modern, larger version of the psp/ps vita, just requires a WiFi connection

Loved the idea of playing on the go or just in other rooms of the house, but I honestly noticed too much of a lag to use it. My PS5 is hardwired and I followed all the recommended networks setting I could find but couldn’t get it to work well enough.

Great gaming accessorie for traveling and playing ps5 videogames. I will say this you will need a good connection to wifi to be able play games since they are being streamed.

Works great and I use it all the time because the tv I have my PS5 hooked up to is the prinary tv for the house. I do have a few issues. 1. You can’t change profiles easily, you have to sign out of your account on the portal and sign into another. 2. You can’t watch videos on it. I wouldn’t have expected this to be a problem but some games have cutscenes or short scenes that can’t be viewed on the portal. 3. Accessory options, I’d like a case and a screen protector or maybe a clip on power bank made for the portal but there aren’t many options. The few options i did find aren’t official.

Any review complaining about connectivity or latency issues and all due to an incorrectly configured network. With my PS5 hardwired via ethernet to my modem, and high quality router, and a low number of devices connected to my network’s 5 ghz band, this device is flawless. I love to game, but also don’t want to be cooped up in my office all the time. I can sit in the living room, be around my family, have some background TV on, and pop onto my PS Portal to play some games when we are all winding down. Extremely satisfied with this device. It’s lightweight, nice battery life, and a beautiful screen.

I got tired of always playing my PS5 in front of the TV. This device fixed that. It is solid construction, well balanced, comfortable, lightweight and has a beautiful screen. Battery life is excellent and it comes with the Dual sense/haptic feedback we all love. $200 is a reasonable price (considering a Backbone is $100). I use this device a lot. I do need a hardwired connection before attempting to play it outside the home. Time will tell if the controller gets stick drift. 5 stars for now.

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.

PS Portal is a wonderful device when you have the cloud streaming service with a good internet speed, I had some problems using remote play but it was solved when I connected the PS5 with a network cable
