    This is an excellent adaptation to my PS5. I love the new update where you dont need the PS5 to play it. I highly recommend the PS Portal

    It comes in handy, especially if you have to share the tv with other family members. You can go anywhere there is a good internet connection and play the games you want. I mostly play Helldivers 2 which works great as long as you have a fast internet connection.

    It’s not a bad device, very sturdy and I like the large screen - I’m just not enjoying the user experience right now. The touchscreen buttons in particular I had the toughest time trying to navigate and had to look up on YouTube (thank goodness I’m one of many who had similar experience). The cloud streaming isn’t great and I know it’s in Beta so hopefully will improve.

    This device is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! I highly recommend it! The fact that I can take this device anywhere wifi-wise is pretty great, and I can basically play my PS5 anywhere. Annnnnd-! What's even cooler, is that if I want to watch television AND play video games, I can just play on my portal and use the television screen as normal.

    The ergonomics and feel of this remote player are unparalleled. Fantastic when everything is working properly, haptics, comfort, etc; But no matter what you do there will always be a level of input lag/stuttering. I have 1/GB Internet and a great wifi 6e router with the PS5 hardwired and still can't achieve flawless streaming. Sony needed to make this wifi 6 compatible or dialed in their remote playing app before launching this product.

    This powerful little machine is awesome. The 8 inch screen is perfect. All you do is follow the on screen instructions. Set up took about 15 minutes. Then time to game. You can use this portal anywhere as long as you have good WIFI. You must leave your PS 5 or PS 4 in rest mode.

    Way better compared to backbone to use remote play. I recommend this handheld if you’re mostly traveling and have hotspot to remote play or if don't have ability to use tv in the house. Graphics is not bad considering it’s a streaming device in 1080p. It would have been better if replacing the sticks was an option.

    Sony made a great update with these . The remote play works so well.if you wanna lay back and game it’s a great system accessory. Add the buds to add the extra touch.
