One of the beat products from sony. So easy to use and is perfect for hand held gameplay especially with the new update.

Mad the bad decision to listen to YouTube reviews and talked mysoout of pre ordering. Finally was able to get my hands on one and i have so happy to have this device. Fits my needs perfectly, it may not be for everyone but as a father who has younger children who are obsessed with Bluey i love that i can game while they do their thing. I have the best internet possible in my area and have had zero problems with connectivity and lag

Gaming on PS5 anywhere in your house! Loving it so far, i haven’t experience any lagging my internet speed (1000mps upload/download). I also owned the backbone the phone screen is just too small for me to enjoy gaming. The vibrant screen delivers an immersive gaming experience. The only downside for me its a bit heavy. It can be a bit burdensome during extended gaming sessions. Overall I love it I wish PlayStation will roll out an update with web browser.

If you’d have a child that wants to take up the television all day buy playing games this is the add on for you. My 7 year old can now play his games and I can watch tv again without depriving him of never getting to play the ps5. Best purchase

At first, I skeptical of buying this since it is nothing more than an extension of the PS5 and not a system running games on its own. However, once my nephew showed me the immense display quality and the feel and control of the system it was a must buy for me. I am a person who watches many shows and the opportunity to multitask in a handheld while watching a series on tv is such a bonus.

I was very hesitant to get the PlayStation Portal. With having 3 kids I get no time to game. So I bought this and gave it a shot (had two weeks to return it if I don’t like it). Well for me this has been amazing, I can now play anytime and I have finished two games since buying it. Highly recommend for Dads out there. It’s ok for call of duty but it’s better for single player games.

I use it all the time. I have zero issues with playing any game on my home WIFI and I have even played at a couple of other locations, still no issues. The battery life could be a little bit better but I can use my phone charger to charge it, while I’m playing. If you are a gamer on the go or just want to be able to play a quick game, I highly recommend getting one of these.

Great product, as long as you have solid internet somewhere it works perfectly as a remote player. I’ve never had a problem and it’s a great addition to the PlayStation Eco System.

I really love this controller and the standalone cloud gaming! Totally recommend it, whether you have a PS5 or not – it plays games without one using cloud gaming.

Looks good, but falls short where it matters
The display and ergonomics are solid, but the lack of HDR support is puzzling—especially since most TVs and PS5 setups run HDR by default. VRR isn’t needed here, but HDR should have been included.
The bigger issue is connectivity. This device only supports Wi-Fi 5, which feels outdated. At minimum, it should’ve shipped with Wi-Fi 6E for smoother streaming. Since the Portal can only stream games (either through your PS5 or PS Plus), network performance is everything—and it simply doesn’t deliver.
I ended up selling mine, as I get a much better experience streaming to my PC handheld. Third-party apps let you boost bitrate, and with Wi-Fi 6E the stream quality is noticeably sharper.
For $200, this should be the best PS5 streaming device on the market. While the DualSense integration is nice, the shortcomings outweigh the benefits. I cannot recommend this product.

Really enjoying this impressive piece of tech thus far. It's given me the opportunity to open up our family TV more as I can play my games elsewhere, including out on our patio (perfect for summer!). The hardware is impressive and as long as your internet is up to modern-day speeds, the performance is solid during both multiplayer moments (Helldivers 2) or single player games (Last of Us)

Perfect for when my significant other wants to watch TV and I want to play my games. Thought about just moving my PS5 to another TV, but this remedies that and being able to play anywhere in the house is more useful than I thought it would be. It's also nice if I want to get in a little gaming session before bed. Light weight and comfortable to hold. It's very niche, but worth it if share the TV with others.

Every time I travel this goes with me! This has very little lag time due to the remote internet access speed. This worked so far on every trip except one time. Not sure why I couldn't connect to my PS5 at multiple locations, but when I got home I rebooted the PS5 and was able to connect right away. It happens, but all other times this was flawless!

Like the feel and the graphics of the portal. Just not as portable I wish the hand held could be. Stuck mirroring the ps5 so loses connection if you are in another room
