Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased from Best Buy and it works great with my PS5. Screen looks amazing and controls feel premium. Streaming is smooth with good Wi-Fi. Perfect for playing without using the TV. Highly recommend buying it at Best Buy.

I love my Xmas gift to myself. To think that I no Longer have to sit in front of a tv to play my games and strain my neck in the process. Best decidion I ever made. I take it everywhere with me.

Great way to continue gameplay away from home. A decent internet connection is required to have stable gameplay.

This was this was gift for my kid. He really loved it. It is awesome and he really enjoyed it and now Sonny just released an update that allows you when you are Sony PlayStation plus member you can play your game that you purchased online for free no need to have even PS5, which is great.

It’s awesome ! It came right on time and I’m happy with it

I love the blackout look! And the remote connection when I'm on vacation and away from home. I never use my PS5 on the big screen and it prevents hogging the TV.

I was on the fence when it first came out. But now with the updates it's definitely worth it.

Best purchase I’ve made in a while. I love it. Don’t hesitate to purchase this device. I’ve played so many games without needing a PS5

Ever since the update I have been able to play it more. The ability to take it anywhere makes it a plus as well. I highly recommend anyone that doesn’t have it should definitely go get one, especially for the price.

I thoroughly enjoy using the PlayStation Portal. I bought it to be able to play while my wife and son watch TV in our living room. Single player games seem to be fine, a little bit of input lag in MLB the show when pitching and swinging. I have not tried FPS games yet. This may not be the best option for competitive games, but if you want to get a gaming session in and you're trying not to always alienate yourself from your family. This is a great option.

Disclaimer I have 500 Mbps fiber and my PS5 is connected to my router via ethernet. Which is probably overkill for this device but it absolutely performs better than any other remote play I’ve used like on my phone or on my iPad. I’ve had it for 2 to 3 months now and the connection has always been smooth. It’s also really comfortable to hold. One thing to note it doesn’t support HDR so make sure your PS5 isn’t turning it on by default. It’ll make your games look bad.

I’ve really enjoyed the Portal thus far. I had to really be on point when trying to purchase the last couple months with people scalping the hell out of them which is unfortunate for those who are truly interested. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Portability - not the smallest device but it’s small enough to serve as something you can bring anywhere Comfort - Dual Sense is one of the best parts of this build. It looks weird, I will not deny that. But it’s so practical you wonder why others haven’t done this. Screen size is about perfect. Quality is what you’d expect from Sony. Brightness is VERY bright and the color saturation is good. Speakers are actually pretty good for a portable. Louder than I had expected I have not experienced any issues with packet loss while playing on my home network. I don’t have anything special for wireless. Cons: The lack of first party accessories. I know Sony came out and listed this as more of an experimental product, but I’m a little surprised they didn’t take advantage of providing 1st party accessories. The stuff on Amazon is fine and works (cases and screen protectors), but it would have been nice to have from Sony. Cost for some may steer them to the backbone.. and although the backbone is a fine product, it doesn’t compare to this for the overall experience. And you don’t have to give up your phone. Overall for what Sony advertises this product as, it fits the bill perfectly. I don’t think it’s for everyone. People who don’t have a dedicated gaming space like me and often times are splitting the tv amongst your family, this is the closest you can get to perfect. Highly recommended.. until the Vita 2 comes out. One can hope!

The fecent operating system updstes make this the best streaming handheld there is. For now.

Definitely comes in handy, worth the purchase. Use it all the time

I've always wanted one but never thought of it's usefulness. With family coming over for the holidays and being told I have to "get out of my cave" (hahaha my room) I can have this out, be around people, and play on my PS5 without being in my bedroom.

to big for what i need for can only use it for one person

It’s what you expect, a portable screen of your playstation’s display when it’s turned on. You must have great internet connection. Ultimately, It doesnt beat the PSP experience.

Handheld I can take it anywhere with wifi connection

I like the product because you can play your games without using the tv but you need a good internet connectionso you do not experience lags while your are playing your favorite game

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.
