Great to have on the go, and at home. People recommend the backbone but this is leagues better!

While a very nice looking device, it failed to deliver what it was designed for: remote play to my PS5.
The good;
It’s a beautiful device. The OLED makes the interface really pop, and was a delight to configure and setup. The latter being very smooth and simple.
The bad:
Horrible refresh rate for game play, which results in terrible motion blur. I’m not a professional gamer and I don’t need a 120 panel, so I figured this would be good enough for me. I’ve played with a 60Hz panel (with low response times) connected to my PS for years and have been fine with it. The refresh on the portal is so bad that FPS games are unplayable, which is unfortunate since it affects all of the titles I enjoy playing.
This is not a result of network lag. This issue occurred even when paying on my home WIFI network (I’m a EE with a very well tuned network at home).
The lesser gripe are the analog sticks. They feel more like joy cons than playing with a DS5.
If motion blur doesn’t bother you, or you play games that are more static and do not require much of a refresh rate/response time: This may be a good fit. For now, I’m sticking with remote play on my phone and will wait for another solution.

The portal is exactly what was described. A streaming device that works off the PS5, however I was able to stream to my Steam deck with that same level of lag on my portal. It is completely unplayable without the ps5 wired to the router, which was a disappointment since my PS5 was upstairs. The controller is as amazing as a typical Dualsense 5 controller. Overall, this device is not a must have, but not entirely bad either.

As long as you have a good internet connection, this device is amazing. I have my ps5 hard wired, and have used the portal up to 200 miles away and worked flawlessly.

Easy connectivity and use. The portal does what it sets out to do, allows me to play my PS5 games remotely, much easier than on other devices.

Bought this for my husband and he loves it. Being able to play a quick game while relaxing on the couch instead of setting up his whole area to play is great. No issues with connection.

This really is a great product to the PS5. Considerable amount of glare even in the dark, with the controller lights off.

Perfect to just play on the go, but you need to have WiFi in order to play.

PlayStation Portal brings back the nostalgia days of the PSP - I would love if you could play it without the PS5

I didnt think I would like it this much. I have two ps5 and can connect to either of them. I travel to Cali from TX frequently and work great on the plan and hotels to connect to my ps5 at home.
