Customer Ratings & Reviews

I get that the Portal is somewhat divisive but I kind of like it. I get to keep on playing when my girlfriend wants to use the TV and that's all I really want it for. I personally wouldn't use it for anything competitive (EAFC for me) or any game that requires quick and precise movement (any FromSoftware games) but it works well for anything else.

Great and fun! Love the feel if the controller. Its the best for remote play, but only remote play

It’s made by Sony-so of course it will outshine the 3rd Party Competition. Yes you could use a Steam Deck to get close to the same experience on OLED, but let’s be honest why would you pay more? I wish the screen was OLED, but it’s simple and it works. It lags on occasion when out of home network, but it’s to be expected. Overall it’s new and I’m sure Sony will release future updates to alleviate issues. PARENTS I’m sure some have discovered you NEED a PlayStation 5 for this work. This is not a Nintendo Switch.

Great concept, fun to use, and quality is top tier!

It would have been amazing if tjis could download games. Strictly internet made this lag so bad for me.

Once I was finally able to get it in my cart I thought it was a fluke. Kind of like a unicorn sighting. I hit buy without hesitation. I couldn’t believe it. I had been trying to purchase this for my husband since November when it came out. He was over moon! The graphics are amazing. Has the feel of the PS5 remote, rather than backbone. So far I feel it has been pretty good especially for traveling. If you can ever get one with out over paying online for one get it!

good product. my son 9 years love it. price is good Also

Works Great, just make sure you leave the PlayStation logged into your psn account and on standby when away.

The PlayStation Portal is a game-changer (pun intended). I've been using it for a while now, and I honestly can't believe how much I love it. With my internet connection (500 down and 100 up), I forget I'm even streaming games. This is my new favorite way to experience my PS5 titles. The screen is gorgeous, the controls feel fantastic, and the experience is seamless. It's basically a PS5 in your hands, and it's amazing.

Took a while to figure out how to get it to stream but now my partner and I fight for it when we go out of state

The Portal is a game changer. The Dual Sense feels right at home. Must have if you don’t always have control of your tv at home.

As always the folks at Best Buy show day after day that they are the best in the business. I had a myriad of questions and the young lady had answers.(wish I would have gotten her name) Described what I wanted and she took me to the PS Portal. What a great device. Thanks for everything miss!

Excellent device. A must if you’re having to share the TV. A bonus if you have PS plus premium and play streamed games from anywhere. If it can be helped, make sure to have your PS5 hardwired to your router/modem. Happy gaming!

The screen is so nice and the feel of it make the gaming great.

Just like the steam deck opened up possibilities for me to play games in my steam collection which I have not touched in a long time, so did this beautiful device. Yes I was disappointed when they first announced it that I would not be able to do cloud streaming onto it without a ps5, but despite that, I am thoroughly enjoying the freedom this gives to play wherever and whenever I want around the house. Been on a MHW binge with all the rage after Wilds announcement. What a blast.

Personally I’ve had a great time with this device. Pros: with my solid internet, I noticed little to no lag while playing games. Screen looks really good for an LCD. Ability to enjoy PlayStation games with all the DualSense features, and portability to play games throughout the house. Cons: Battery life is not great (somewhere around 2 hours), requires a solid wifi connection.

After about two months of waiting i was finally able to track one of these down! And I absolutely love it not having to be in my office to catch up on some games is awesome! And yeah i could've gotten a backbone sure but that ties up my phone , this is dedicated remote play which made ot easier to connect, set up, and get right to gaming! The lack of support for earbuds beyond the sony ones is a bit of a let down but i have it on low (its gets pretty loud) and go from there!

Great buy on my part, with the Ps Portal update I'm in truly great position to continue my gaming, when my wife takes over the television, which is often, I believe she does it on purpose. But now.... Thank you PS PORTAL.

Wow, with all the hate around this, I was a little worried it would be a dust collector. Nope! Sony, good job with this, and I can't wait for updates. I know you all have more to come. Yes, I have more than one TV, but the fact that I don't have to be stuck at my TV in my game room is amazing. Downstairs with the family as they watch TV. Amazing! Sayless

Overall I like my portal but its usability is completely reliant on your internet. I have a gig speed wifi and sometimes that isn't enough for my PS5 to broadcast out to my portal. It would be nice if my ps5 was plugged in via Ethernet but sadly my router is on a different level. When everything is running smoothly the portal is a joy and is crisp but when everyone is streaming in the house my games look like something out of the 16-bit days.
