As a frequent traveler, I was looking for a convenient way to enjoy my PlayStation games on the go and during downtime, and the PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations! Being able to play my PS5 games in bed, without having to set up downstairs every time, is a game-changer. The device is lightweight, easy to carry, and the screen quality does justice to the games’ visuals. The battery life is impressive, which is crucial for those long travel days. I found the setup to be straightforward, seamlessly integrating with my existing PlayStation ecosystem. The price point is also very reasonable, offering great value for a high-quality gaming experience. I highly recommend the PlayStation Portal to anyone who wants to keep gaming while away from their main console setup. It’s like having a portable PS5 at your fingertips!

This beautiful device is stunning. I'm not an online multiplayer gamer. I love playing games with a story. I love putting in a lot of hours on the games story. I have not tested it with online gaming like COD or Fortnite. But if you're trying to beat any game and have people using the tv you usually have to use. It's 100% awesome. I just got all three spider games to grind. IT LOOKS AMAZING. I've put in almost 6 hours of Spiderman Remasterd and had a millisecond of lag one time. It's not it's own system. It's made for people who can't play when their loved ones are using that tv/monitor that connects to their PS5. If you're like me and just play for fun..DO IT..If you want a system that's as fast as a PC...This device wasn't made for that. Mad love to sony for this.

I originally preordered this from Playstation but I cancelled my preorder to wait on reviews. I was able to secure an open box - excellent Portal as I was going out of town and wanted to try it on the road. There are some things that could be improved, such as lack of Bluetooth support and lack of Internet Browser for Captive Portal APs, but for the most part this is awesome as long as you have a decent Internet connection. I would give this 4.5 stars out of 5 for this. While at my friend's house, we were both able to play online even with me remoting to my ps5 miles away. I do recommend, however, setting a static IP for your ps5 and port forward on your router as well as wiring your ps5 to your router. Games run smooth if you do this and have a decent Internet connection. While at home, this device works perfectly when the wife wants to watch Netflix and we share a TV.

I was skeptical of this device given my remote play experience on other devices has not been great, in most cases unplayable. Somehow, this device works much better, though not perfect. With my PS5 wired-in I can keep a stable connection while playing FF7:Rebirth. Strangely framerate seems perfect in battles, small areas, and cutscenes. For whatever reason in the field I see regular frame skips or however you want to refer to it (lag?). The device seems best suited to RPGs which is what I bought it for. Racing games are unplayable on this, at least with my connection. When it works though, wow FF7Rebirth looks incredible on that screen. And having the real PS5 controller feels much better on this than any other alternative.

So to start the psp portal is ok it is not a great item if you travel but if you are in a remote area with good internet connection you could enjoy it so for me it was ok but for others it could might be better

I have a PS5 with disk drive so if i want to play a different game i have downloaded, i have to physically switch the disks in the console itself which defeats the purpose if im going to be away from the console or don’t want to switch it out every time. Curious to know who this would work with a digital ps5 as opposed to the physical disk console. Next issue I’ve ran into is a little bit of lagging. As it’s trying to mirror the console, it can lag a bit and depending on the game being played could cause issues. For what I do it’s minimal and can play through it. Overall it’s pretty cool and the screen size is big for handheld console. This has it’s time and place but would prefer to play on an actual tv if given a choice. Overall, if you’re a PlayStation fan and have a little money burning a hole in your pocket like I did, i’d say give it a try.

It’s convenient! Could update to have more control away from home but other than that. It’s what you expect a handheld PS to be.

Great device for playing your system while on the road. Only thing to remember is that the power must be on to your system at home. If it isn’t, it is a beautiful paperweight. Feel and screen clarity are amazing

So this thing is an absolute deal especially when you factor in ist only $200! I did run into it disconnecting but was mostly because of the internet I was using. I also find out if you find yourself keep disconnecting try actually restarting the portal instead of just putting it in sleep mode. I'm glad I got it!

Pretty neat device, seems very fragile though so if you're rough with your stuff get a good case. I'm able to hotspot with my phone and use this while traveling with very little interruptions. However I use 5g and my PS5 is connected via Ethernet. So do your research before purchasing

Beyond happy. I’m able to play seamless between this and my console as long as I have WiFi. I travel a lot and can continue to play while away from home.
