    The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s first-party Remote Play device designed for PS5. Vivid Screen: The 8" LCD screen is impressive, with vibrant colors and no smearing or ghosting. It’s larger than most phones and provides an excellent viewing experience for Remote Play. Built-in Controller: Unlike using a tablet with a separate controller, the Portal combines the screen and controller into one device. It feels familiar, with DualSense features like vibration and resistive triggers. The touch pad is replaced by a virtual version on the screen. Portability: The Portal lets you play PS5 games anywhere within your home. It strikes a balance between screen size and portability, making it convenient for gaming on the go. Limited Functionality: While the controls and screen quality are excellent, the Portal lacks media functions, Bluetooth, and a touch pad. Casual PlayStation gamers may find it limiting. In summary, if you want a dedicated Remote Play solution with a great screen and built-in controls, the PlayStation Portal is worth considering. Just be aware of its limitations.

    If u thought u could play your ps5 games native w/o a ps5 your gonna be very disappointed. Not only do u need a ps5 but also if u wanna play games on the cloud u gotta pay $19.99 for a ps subscription. Remote play on this device is only good if your right by your ps5 if your not it will hardly work. So yea this device for me was definitely a waste of money

    I preordered (switched to shipping after in store pickup debacle) and have loved it since day 1. This product has a target audience in mind and I fit that bill. My console is in the family room and not always accessible to me. The Portal allows me to jump in to any game while my kids or wife are using the main tv. That’s it. That’s what this does. I can play when I want to play. The screen is crisp and looks great for an LCD screen. Single player games run extremely well with practically no input lag. If you play competitive FPS, there is a slight delay that may not yield the best experience. Initial setup was a breeze though I did get some connection issues when connecting to 2.4ghz. A little tinkering with my network settings and those issues were gone. Note, if you have multiple connected devices, it’s highly recommended to set up QoS or move low priority devices off the 5ghz band. I have used it outside of my house and it works just as well as if I were home. I have had multiple people connect to their consoles on my Portal and it’s just like signing in to the app and they were off to the races.

    Didn’t think I needed to buy a PS Portal, but finally caved and glad I did! Allows me to play games while my wife is watching her shows. Also, I find myself just playing on it anyways even when the TV is available, the handheld feature is just nice. Do it.

    pretty sick device. lets me have my tv in use while gaming. nice for taking on the go- make sure the PS5 is in rest mode- i’ve also connected it to the wifi router per other reviews and honestly i don’t have an issue with it at all when it comes to loading. depending where you are with that wifi source- it could cause a bit of a lag- but just like in your home with wifi, there are hot and cold spots when it comes to connection. i guess my only thing is the charge in this thing, but now a days things don’t hold a charge like things back in the day. basically an upgraded psp without the psp:( (still crossing my fingers for a completely portable device like the psp) but until then, this will work!

    Fantastic add-on to my PS5 system

    This PlayStation portable is a very good product. Just make sure that you have good Wi-Fi to backup this product. Just so everyone isn't aware, this is an add-on to your PS5 not a substitute for your PS5. You do need a PS5 system to play this PlayStation portable. That going ahead setup is super easy. I just jumped into a quick YouTube just to make sure that I did it right and then signed into my PlayStation on the PlayStation portable and jumped right in the gameplay. Initially it was a little laggy until a portable was able to get onto my Wi-Fi and play. So it is very Wi-Fi dependent. Gameplay seamless. Fantastic. I had black myth wukong and The new Star Wars outlaw as well as destiny. And it was able to keep up with the gameplay. Fantastic system. Enjoy taking it on the road. But just remember the further you get away from your system. It does take a little bit longer to connect. But overall fantastic by
