Haven’t had this device long, but so far I have enjoyed the ease of connecting to my PS5 when I’m out and about. As long as the internet is accessible and able to provide the minimum recommended internet speed it has worked fine. The display screen is nice and bright syncing to my PS5 with very minimal lag. Wish there were a way to save games on the device but I’m pretty that will come as time passes. Maybe not in this model but who knows.

I have been waiting for Sony to make this product worth while and the new update did exactly that. With the ability to stream games straight from the PS PLUS service, this product has become well worth the purchase. It feels great in your hands and the screen is beautiful! Its the best mobile gaming device by far in my opinion.

Great for those nights when your significant other wants you to go to bed but you're not ready. I love it! Surprisingly smooth, and works great! I wouldn't play competitive shooters with it but it's great for single player games. Does require a pretty robust internet connection though.

I got this with the intention of using it in my second floor bedroom while my PlayStation 5 is in the basement. On my home Wi-Fi this thing has worked for me flawlessly. There’s nothing like laying in your bed and playing your PlayStation. There’s nothing much to the device itself as it’s just a streaming platform. What is there feels very well-made. The screen is bright and does its job. I can’t attest to playing this on public or away from home Wi-Fi but if you’re planning on streaming in your house and you have decent Wi-Fi, it is a great device.

Nice to be able to take game around the house and not be tied to main tv. I thought this would be a shelf sitter but find myself using it on a regular basis to let the kids use tv or hang out on the porch and play. Great screen smooth controls.

Phenomenal for people who do not want to game on a big tv or only have limited tvs! I’ve been big on playing single player games on my ps5 recently but the idea of turning on the tv and sitting on the couch gets tough, I can now switch on the portal while laying in bed and my fiancée watches tv and have no issues!

It’s extremely fun. Works very well! As long as you have a solid internet connection and your PS5 isn’t downloading anything, it runs great!

With the update that allows for streaming without your PS5 on... Magic. It works so well and the portal has a great hand feel. Definitely recommend hardwiring your PS5 if you want smooth connection when remoting but it is so fun when it works well. Direct streaming from Sony works perfectly even on a hotspot with my phone.

This thing gets a lot of hate online becuase it is WiFi only, but I gotta say, it's awesome. I don't always want to go upstairs and get in my game room. Sometimes I just want to sit on the couch downstairs and put in a quick session. This is superb for that. I've taken it on trips, too, and it works amazingly well in a hotel room. Well worth the money.

The portal is great for what it does. It allows you play your ps5 around your house. It syncs instantly and has a very good connection everywhere, which is surprising since my internet is just okay in certain parts of my house. Turning it on allows it to connect instantly to Ps5. Turning on a controller turns it off making it seamless. The biggest negative has nothing to do with what this is but what I wanted. You need internet to work this, due to the PS5 issues connecting to most Hotel WiFi’s, it means you cannot travel with it very well. This is not a travel console, but an attachment to your home system.
