No offline mode and good internet connection + wifi 6 these 2 are needed in order to have a good play experience. The controller is a Playstation 5 mirror meaning everything u do there is the same thing as the TV. Pros you don't need to turn on the TV to play. Bad things no offline mode you must be connected with a stable connection or wifi high speed and of course you ps5 on

Great way to play…. Good sized display and great quality graphics. Just have to have your consol on to use it.

Since the update that allows you to connect to your PS5 through WiFi or hotspot it became worth the purchase. There are a few things like non responsive input or getting stuck scrolling. Also a little lag, but it works for what I need it for.

Not bad ...just a extension of the ps5 , basically to play anywhere around the home, or close to the ps5 . Absolutely NOT like the psp ...It does not have a game port , it is only to mirror the playstation 5 system itself and play in another room . Screen is very noiceeee comfortable controls, if you are a geek nerd as myself it's cool to have but not a necessity to play . Enjoy stay safe stay humble .

Was really easy to set up and get using right out of the box. It's great to be able to play while my family watches tv. Graphics and game play seem to have pretty good response. About the only time when I really noticed any issues were when my internet was acting up or I got too far away from my wireless router. The battery seems to last a good amount of time before needing to recharge.

I see a lot of mixed reviews of this device online. I think it’s mostly confusion of what this thing is. It’s a portable meant to be played at home when the tv is being watched or just want to play on something smaller when winding down. I don’t take it anywhere except around the house because I understand what’s it’s designed for. Plays nice. I’ve got a mesh system for around the house so no hiccups. I like it. It’s worth it to me.

I’m a big handheld gaming enthusiast, the switch lite is my favorite console. Now imagine that but with your PlayStation. Idk what everyone was on about, this is the coolest thing.

I bought this as an impulse buy, Silent hill 2 was coming out while I had to work, I wanted to play it without it being spoiled, so I bought the portal to play while I was at work. Unfortunately, the PlayStation portal is not what I was hoping for. I was expecting a handheld that could play games properly, while only lagging occasionally. What I actually got, is a handheld that can't do much outside of your house.
It would lag consistently during any play session, it didn't matter what I played, could be playing anything from a night in the woods, to re4 and I would lag the whole time. The quality of the screen is good, but it doesn't matter when the portal can't play anything above 720 p. And on top of that, the audio is always crackling and popping, never once have I had the audio playing properly.
The hardware itself is nice, the controllers feel good to hold and don't cramp my hands like the Switch's joy cons. The screen looks very good (when it works) and it has an audio jack which is a very underrated feature.
Overall, the hardware is flawless, I can't really think of anything negative when it comes to that. However, it does not matter if the product does not work properly, and this does not. Maybe in 5 or 10 years when I can play games without any lag, maybe it would be worth it. As it is, it's not worth 100$, let alone 200$.

This system is very handy for a nice switch over from your tv, to your hand held device. For being a father to able to be able to game as my child can watch tv is amazing. The transition to the portal is fast and easy to set up. I have recommended this to many friends with them buying the system as well.

PS5 suffers from the shackles of console gaming. Ur stuck in one stationary location. I have put half a dozens hours on the PS5 vs the hundreds on the Switch. The portal acts as a Nintendo Switch: go where ever, play whenever (strong WiFi required). I’ve had little issues with lag and slow connection, granted I’m near high speed WiFi spots.

Works well enough as long as you are on a strong Wi-Fi network. Can lag from time to time when the signal isn’t strong. Why they made this without Bluetooth capabilities to sing wireless headphones is beyond me. I believe it works with the PlayStation brand wireless headphones, but I should be able to use what I already have.

The system itself worked great and was mostly intuitive to set up and connect to the PS5, but I wouldn’t recommend unless your PS5 console is directly connected to your internet router. The Portal couldn’t maintain a high-speed connection on my WiFi and I eventually had to return it since I couldn’t play it around the house, defeating the purpose.

If you have a good WiFi at home this thing is amazing, if your internet isn’t so good then it might get frustrating with lag

This is a game changer for real! I bought it for the lazy days when i really don’t want to set up in front of a tv and play games. It works really well when your network is strong and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. You can also take this on vacation and play remote as long as your PS5 is in reat mode and you have wifi where you are at. Get one if you are serious about gaming!
