This is a great remote ps5 handheld. It plays all your games you have downloaded on your ps5. The screen is really nice games look great. The ps5 needs to be in rest mode or completely on for the remote handheld to connect via wi-fi .Highly recommend this product if you want to play ps5 without being in front of the tv.

Love the idea of it but wasn’t always the smoothest gameplay. The battery life wasn’t the greatest either.

Bought mine and returned within 2 weeks. Even with great internet at 500mps the lag was crazy from the ps5 to the portal. I would play spiderman, god of war and ghosts of Tsushima and all the controls wouldn’t respond quick enough if at all. Those game require precise parrying and dodging and the portal just wants doing it right. No problems on the PlayStation itself, just the portal. Also advertised that you can be somewhere completely different connected to a different WiFi than the ps5 itself. But you still have to physically turn on and log into the ps5…. So that completely defeats the purpose. If you could actually turn on the ps5 with the portal that would be different but you can’t. Unless you’re running a very simple game with low processing then the portal is just a waste of money. FYI even a game as basic as Astrobot lagged.

So far been playing it for a week no issues. My ps5 is attached to eithernet which i have read helps. I definitely found myself being able to play more while my 3 year old watches tv. Fortnite, COD 2 multiplayer, Spider man 2, and GT 7. All of the runs smoothly also the joy stick are a little more responsive but great handle at the time.

The portal has surpased expectations. Being able to spin up a game for 15-20 minutes just feels better on the portal than using the whole tv setup. Using while the kids are watching a movie is great too. It really has enabled more playtime than I anticipated.

I got this due to issues I was having streaming from the PS5. Works great. Since then I’ve tweeked the router to allow other ways to stream to work better. The oled steamdeck and chiakia4deck is almost as good as this though. You don’t get the triggers on the steam deck but you can play stand alone games unlike this.

So far this ps portal has been awesome on connecting to the ps5. However, I have Ethernet connected and strong WiFi on portal when away and still face the issue of lagging. I have fiber optic internet at home and 300mbs download and 175 upload. I feel that when I owned a backbone I faced less lagg

Great way to play PS5 games remotely. The screen is big and has great picture quality for an LCD. It runs very smoothly. Would've looked better with an OLED screen, but that would increase its cost. Overall excellent product.

There are a few dumb restrictions either built into the thing (no streaming streamed games) or there because of legal whatever (you're not going to be watching anything on here, thanks DRM laws), but otherwise a pretty good product for what it is.

I bought an open box excellent condition and it didn't even look like it had been used. The only downside is the Portal has to be on the same network as the PS5 but if you only have on TV it allows you to play without taking up the TV.

Great item for remote play. The screen is sufficiently big for open world games. The control handles are just as the PS5 controllers. Easy to set up and only needs WiFi. It can have some lagging depending on how fast your WiFi is. All in all it’s a great product
