I absolutely love this device! The ease of use and the ability to play anywhere with an internet connection is a game changer

This is in no way an official song handbeld lime a psp or the ps vita but if does allow you to remote play your ps4/5 games as well as join the cloud streaming beta so yoh can play backwards compatible games from the premium plus catalog if you have a premium membership. The PS Portal connected to my internet with zero problems. There was an instance where it wouldn’t connect but after a restart of both the ps5 and the portal the 2 devices connected again no problem. The better your wifi is in your home or whatever wifi yoh connect to the better your connection will be. So far this device has been an awesome handheld for playing my ps5 games in different rooms in my house. I would definitely recommt this device to any gamer looking to lound around in different areas of their homes or even gojng on vaction. Its very reliable in the experience I’ve had with the device. I can only see this getting better with future updates. Hopefully Sony will add an update to allow gamers to use any future bluetooth headset but for now the only thing gamers can do it shell out another $200 for proprietary earbuds with the PS Link technology to easily allow a connection for audio and chat or use a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Either way, i trust song will listen tk its community and make the correct decisions to make the device better in the future. For now, it is what it is. A remote play device designed to exacltly that and does a great job of doing.

I think it’s a great product. Was given to me as a birthday gift. It’s nice to be able to have my ps5 on the go. The one big complaint I have is your WiFi is a little shaky do not expect to connect to the ps5 very well. The cloud gaming feature still works good so streaming is a plus.

With decent wifi it is an excellent experience. Its overpriced but definitely an awesome experience. I purchase not regretted .An upgrade from the backbone.

Okay so it’s been a couple months now since I purchased this and honestly, I am very glad I did. At first I thought that this was going to be hit-or-miss since I had heard that it was limited to a certain degree but shout to PlayStation for updating it and allowing for more features.
I have been able to play all of my games. It’s like streaming it into your, there is some lag but with good WiFi you shouldn’t see any issues.
All in all, it’s a good product and if all you care for is getting to play your PlayStation video games while on the road as I frequently am, then I would recommend it. Especially at this price
This is more so for people who frequently travel or have a place where they are often sitting for hours without anything to do.
Lastly, my only drawbacks is that sometimes it doesn’t connect right away. And what you need to do is disconnect the WiFi and reconnect it in order for it to work. This does appear to be some sort of software issue and should probably be addressed by PlayStation on a future update file.

Even tho this is not an OLED display it really give you a good quality. This screen is very bright, handheld is lightweight and easy to carry perfect to play on the go. 4 starts because sometimes just disconnects from PS5 for no reason which makes you go back and reconnect.

I got this PS as a gift for my little brother, and he absolutely loved it. It’s a great option if you have more than one child—one can play on the ps while the other uses the TV. Perfect for keeping everyone happy and entertained.

The portals design is light, product does not over heat and no does not make your arms tired from excessive game play. The battery could last longer, if you plan on playing out in public ensure to bring a battery pack as well. My game time is when the wife wants the TV for herself, screen protector and case applied before the kids got it.

This is a great device to use when you dont want to turn on your TV and disturb family/roomates. It's super nice that you can go anywhere with it as long as you have a wifi connection and the PS app, though I definitely use it mostly at my home juat because its more convenient than the TV.

Can’t really Compared to other actual handhelds because it’s not meant to be one. If you have a strong WiFi signal this thing is pretty good. Still wish you didn’t need a premium subscription to use cloud gaming.

I haven't put it down since I bought it. Make sure console is connected via ethernet for the best results.

When other members of the family are watching tv and i want to play my playstation games, i just grab the portal and start playing anywhare in the house or outside in the patio. also, i can play my stream games anywhere as long as i have internet.

Amazing! It's nice to be able to play Battlefield 6 or Mortal Kombat in another part of the house while you're watching your parent recover from sickness, but don't want to leave tjeir side. It's also cool to be able to play games on the cloud, and the streaming while I'm in a hotel or airport in another state is smooth.

The screen is the perfect to size to make this portable but also comfortable to play. So far I have had no issues with connection to my PS5 for remote play and the beta of streaming games seems to work well also. The only thing I will say is the thumb sticks are a little smaller than on the controller but you can buy an attachment to make it feel more like the PS5 Dualsense. Overall great product.

It's a Device that no one asked for but definitely needed. I'm a father of 2 and i use this while they sleep. It feels great, fast response and my favorite factor is the big screen. It is not the same as my OLED C1 LG but it gets the job done. I highly recommend it. Worth $200 plus the tax
