Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you've a PlayStation owner, this is a great addition. With the new firmware update that just recently happened, the update turns the portal into a true handheld gaming device. The 2 thing I don't like is that there is no web browser and it only supports certain Bluetooth earbuds. Sony to be exact. Other than that, I have no regrets in this purchase.

The truth about the PlayStation portal is that despite the fact that as far as I'm concerned no matter how you configure your network and all of the things that you will eventually find out online when you researched it they tell you to do to make it work in the best. There is going to be some input lag. I wouldn't recommend using this for advanced online play this is not something that you want to go play call of duty on. But the ability to take your games and do some lower level things and all of the things that you need to do from the comfort of your couch or the bathroom or wherever you use it you can't beat it. To me it is still indispensable and if I ever could find a way to get rid of that input lag it would be constant use

Pros: Seamless Remote Play: Lets you stream your PS5 games anywhere with Wi-Fi without needing to tie up your main TV. Portable PlayStation Experience: Feels like a dedicated PlayStation handheld with DualSense controls, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback. No Need to Buy Extra Games: Uses your existing PS5 library, so you don’t have to spend extra on new games. Instant Pairing with PS5: Super easy setup if you’re already in the PlayStation ecosystem. Best for Households Sharing a TV: Great if someone else is using the TV but you still want to play. Cons: Wi-Fi Dependent: No cloud gaming or offline play—needs a solid home Wi-Fi or fast internet to work well. No Native Apps: Can’t run games or apps like Netflix or YouTube natively—strictly for remote play. Battery Life: Around 4-6 hours depending on use—not bad, but not stellar. Limited to PS5 Owners: If you don’t already have a PS5, it’s essentially useless.

I'm a father of two. My time on the TV is limited to when it's not showing Disney +. If your PS5 is connected to a wired network this device runs flawlessly. For my use case of being able to play my games in my house without using the TV this is perfect. Even considering the price of the PS5 it's still way cheaper than the new Legion GO and the flagship version of the Xbox ROG. It plays incredibly smooth, I haven't noticed a frame rate drop, and only the very rare drop in visual quality

Great for home use. Wife ues the TV I still can game!! Went on vacation and took it but could not connect to my PS5 maybe the net was to slow? idk For 200 bux though was a good buy so I can still play at home if the TV is being used.

I didn’t expect to love this thing as much as I did. It runs shockingly well and way better than I expected a streaming device to. I’m genuinely impressed how well it works with any game I’ve played on it so far, from fps, RPGs and even MMOs (FFXIV). There’s nothing more I can really say about it. It just works. Just keep in mind, as with any and every streaming device, your experience and enjoyment with it will depend on your ISP. If you have a good internet provider and speed, your experience will reflect mine. If your internet isn’t quite up to the task, your experience will most likely not be as robust as mine is.

It was A open box but in excellent condition being playing it pretty much every day works well with my setup.

Yes, you're dependent on PS remote keeping a connection, but that isn't the fault of the controller. The controller itself has hours of enjoyment on a single charge if you can't use your TV. The only downside is the headphone selection you can use. You can't use regular bluetooth headphones or earbuds. You can either use the Sony PULSE devices that pair up easily, or connect a headphone jack wire.

My daughter was looking for a portable tool for playing her game. Now, she can be in the living room and not stuck in her room playing.

I always wanted to get a portal and I'm glad I waited till the black one came out I love it! I can play my games while the rest of the family uses the tv. It also works well if you're not at home all only thing which is really needed is an internet connection and the better it is the better the performance of course. The price is the same as the white but I did get mine price matched so I got it at a great deal.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He absolutely loves it and has used it almost every day since he has gotten it. He loves being able to play any of his favorite games even while we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend for any PlayStation lover!!

Excellent solution for when you want to play PS5 in bed or in the bathroom, or maybe even on your lunch break. If you have good internet speeds, then you shouldn't have to worry much about lag, except in competitive multiplayer games. I'd recommend it for sure.

Best gift ever given. My little brother was stoked to have this game sent to him. He couldn’t wait to break it in while sitting on the toilet. Perfect for on the go gamers.

I’ve been using my iPad paired with a dualsense for remote play since I’ve had my PS5, but this is just so much better and more convenient. Now, I can literally play my PS5 games just about anywhere and not have to worry about having somewhere to place my iPad while playing. The pottal also does great with reconnecting if it drops connection unlike the remote play app on tablets/phones. I tried a backbone for a while but hated tying up my phone to use just for that. My only complaints so far are that the touchpad integration feels kinda thrown in, and I’m also not a huge fan of the PS button placement. It’s not perfect, no…but I’ve been loving it since I got it.

Portal is a great purchase if you want to still play in your house or if you have a lot of free time in another place that is not your house, the wifi only system is a bit of a bummer, but besides that, it is exactly what you want for mobile gaming.

Tremendous deal on an open box item. Was in perfect condition and has worked as advertised. Absolutely perfect!

I love it. I prefer playing the cloud streaming games from the PSPlus library than connecting to my system, but all in all this is a solid handheld.

I purchased and open box playation portal. The device was in great condition. There was a big of food or something that looked like tomato sauce on one of the handles, but other than that no issues. I save almost $70 dollars by buying it open box.

The PS Portal is everything it is hyped up to be. I was skeptical, but it’s universally praised views on youtube(a platform where the tiniest flaws turns into an hour of non-stop complaining) sold me on getting it and it did not disappoint. Allows the family to watch something on the TV while I’m playing a game of NCAA 26. Go get it!!!!

The portal is everything I wanted it to be. I don't take it out of my house so I can't comment on use at a distance but for me to just get tired of sitting in one spot, I can just get up and take it with me to another room. I love it
