Its really good and convenient to use anywhere but the con is that you'll have to have really strong wifi signal to use it seamlessly. I honestly think Sony should have made it where you can use moble data with it like they did with the PS Vita cause not a lot of places have a really strong wifi signal. Overall is really good to use, it was like having my PS5 literally in my hands. Although i wouldn't recommend using it if you're playing online with other people cause of the wifi signal strength I mentioned earlier but it is good to play on if you're playing single-player games.

If you have minimum 15mb upload speed and follow these guidelines, you'll love the Portal. Obviously your PS5 has to be WIRED, No wifi. Sadly, but hopefully something Sony will fix with an update. You have to set your PS5 resolution to 1080p, and either unplug the HDMI from it or play with the tv off. Not ideal i know, but it's worth it. If you have another tv other than the living room, which less ppl/only you use. I recommend hooking up your PS5 to that one, since the Portal connects through wifi and not the console. Please pass these tips on to other interested parties, before recommending the Portal...

I read some reviews where some people had problems connecting remotely when they weren’t home but I haven’t had any issues. First time I connected remotely was on the train using my iPhone as a hotspot and it connected just fine, second time was when I arrived at work and used the wifi at my job and once again no problems. I’m leaving the country next week so that will be my ultimate test. I really love this device it’s a real game changer for me as I’m not always home, it’s good to stay connected when I’m away from the regular console. If anyone feels the need to play PS5 remotely then you definitely won’t be disappointed with this purchase

I did a lot of homework on this device before buying it and so I knew that it’s not a perfect device, but I also knew I could still have a good time with it.
The screen is great, the sound is great, the battery is great. The only issues to be aware of are that because it’s a streaming device, depending on the quality of the Wi-Fi you’re on you may experience lag and you can’t play with wireless headphones unless you either buy Sony’s headphones or use a third-party adapter.
Again, however, because I knew these things going into it I still love this thing more than I thought I was going to.

Gaming on the go can certainly make long journeys more enjoyable. A portable device offers a great source of entertainment for passengers. It helps pass the time and keeps boredom at bay during travel. Having access to games can also create a fun and relaxing atmosphere in the car. Such technology provides a welcome distraction from the monotony of the road.

The portal has been a game changer for me. I love being to pick up and just move around the house, being with my kids and being able to just put this down and pick it right back up every few minutes is great. Perfomance is fully dependent on your internet speeds, im well above the minimum for download/upload and my PS5 is wired directly to my router, so it just works great wherever i take it. I have a macbook that i was using, and i could also play on my phone, but having this own seperate device is just nice for what it is. Im highly satisfied with my portal, and i hope with enough interest sony decides to make a true portable console.

I would give it 5 stars, however it does get a little laggy at times due to it streaming from PS5. I LOVE it and it works well for me, however if you are unable to hardwire your PS5 it may not be as fast as you want. I play red dead on it all night after my wife holds the living room TV hostage.

So lets start with design. The feel in your hand is comfortable only draw back is joysticks feel small. I can not belive the resolution on the screen thats same if not bigger then an Ipad mini. Battery life is amazing to be able to search for wifi and brodcast in that resolution. The connection does get lost but not to often. Once you set it up it will be your new addiction.

As a father and husband, my gaming time has reduced, especially having to fight for the TV. The PS Portal is a game changer for me. Not only does it work smoothly, but I even take it to my brothers to play some coop online gaming. No need to lug my ps5 around. Ive been so impressed with the quality of the product. Feels like I'm using a ps5 portable (i am technically). The battery life is great as well. So those long ff7 sessions dont get interrupted. Id recommend this to anyone who wants to play while not being stuck to a TV.

I love the PSPortal. It makes gaming on the go easy. Not only is the controller hand-held comfortable and secure but the graphics and screen quality is out of this world. The latency is beautiful and remote gaming has little to no lag. Also the cloud gaming beta feature is a step in the right direction. Great game list. All in all this was a rightful purchase.

Just got the PS5 Portal for my son!!!
He’s been wanting it for a while—and wow, it’s worth it! The remote play is super smooth, and now he can enjoy his favorite PS5 games anywhere around the house. Total game-changer (literally).
