With the new updates the ps portal is so worth it. You don't need a PS5 even anymore to play it. Just get a subscription to playstation plus and as long as you have ok wifi you get a huge amount of games to play! Works amazing. I was never a fan of cloud gaming but this has changed my mind. And it's at a great price! If you have a PS5 it works out even greater cause you can play your library basically everywhere now

I preferred playing indie games like balatro and the children of morta on it. I probably wouldn't play more graphically intense games on it depending on latency and your internet speeds.

I got this so I can continue playing games while someone else uses the main tv. works GREAT when on the same network as the PS5, basically no lag, very similar to the Wii U in that aspect. When I use a mobile 5G network there is some lag but still playable, I usually use this to play classic PS1 or PS2 games, I would not play competitively with this. its built perfect for casual gaming! I would recommend this to anyone who needs/wants to share the main TV with a friend, family member or significant other, they can watch their shows and you can keep playing your games in the same room with them. its fantastic

Excellent for what it is, despite its limitations. It just adds flexibility in where and how I play my PS5 games. Linking it up to my PS5 took a few minutes, and at first it didn’t register but after 2 attempts it worked and has worked consistently since. Latency is negligible at home, and battery life is impressive compared to traditional handheld PC’s given that it streams only. It feels premium and great in the hands, like holding an ps5 controller. It is worth it for gamers who want to play on the bed or on the couch if the tv is occupied. Is it a must have? Not necessarily. But I would definitely pick this 100% over playing off of an iPad/monitor with a controller or on my phone with an attachable controller.

Great Tool to Make Time to Play

Awesome device for playing when you have a family and the TV might not always be available. Plays well, although online play does not play too well, single player games play as good as they should. Definitely recommend if you have to make time to play with how busy life can get.

Haptics are great. Everything else is mediocre.

Dualsense haptics are great on this. Steam deck and phones can't quite get it right. Wish there were more options to adjust the streaming quality like chiaki and pxplay, theres not much on portal and the stream quality isn't that great.

Nice use of a dedicated remote play for home use!

The PlayStation portal is a nice addition to the accessories section. This is solely for utilizing the remote play function. So here we go with the pros: excellent use of the ps5 controller, excellent home wifi connection remote play and great screen resolution. So the cons: poor input on controller when not utilizing home wifi, must have ps5 hardwired while utilizing the wifi on portal, and disconnects to often when utilizing other wifi outside of home with 10-15 mbs. I recommend purchasing this on sale for $99. If you have the money to waste, go ahead and buy now. The ifea is terrific, but where is the function to play offline. The option to have a dedicated hard drive for single player offline games is a must which is rare due to online services.

PS Portal is a wonderful device when you have the cloud streaming service with a good internet speed, I had some problems using remote play but it was solved when I connected the PS5 with a network cable

Playstion portal is a very good concept having your ps5 in the palm of your hand, BUT you have to have stable and the best connection to use it’s full potential. I’ve returned it.

Yeah, it's easy to play games on it. I definitely recommend good Wi-Fi, or it won't be the best, but you can download PlayStation Plus games wherever

Bought this as a Christmas gift. The recipient said it would be great if the portal cam be connected to the PS5 network without having the main console on. They also noticed that the portal constantly lost connection to their wifi even when their in close proximity to the router. Overall they enjoyed their gift.

I really enjoy being able to play some of my games handheld. However, sometimes the connection between the Portal and my PS5 is rough or slow so some games are more difficult to play than others sometimes. Overall though I really like it.

Great way to get out of my gaming room

Bought the Portal to actually be in the living room and the family while gaming. It's great to relax lying down on the couch. It works great for that function and I can play all my favorite PS5 games (Stellar Blade, Helldivers) seamlessly. The UI animation for connecting to the PS5 is super cool. Small thing but it adds to the premium feeling.
No connection issues, including with the Pulse Elite headset. There's stutters here and there but I hardly notice it. Input lag is minimal, and I can perform well in the above mentioned action games. This is definitely one of my best gaming purchases. At $200, it feels like a steal.

A nice little device that lets you play your Playstation games without having to use a TV. Would be awesome if you didn't need to have a Playstation 5 or an internet connection to play some of these games, but it works great as intended.
