Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, I think the portal gives a pretty good experience. It's great for people who want to game while the TV is occupied with something else, and want the full experience you get while playing directly on your PS5. The biggest surprise for me was that there's almost no lag. Even side by side with your TV, the difference is hardly noticeable. One of the biggest reasons I purchased was the ability to remote play on other wifi networks, and it definitely exceeded my expectations there. Again, there was almost no lag. Even playing 2k, where you have to time your shot well, I wasn't disrupted by lag at all despite my PS5 being over 100 miles away.

Great companion for the PS5 system and with the latest update enabling cloud gaming this device has turned into something with a lot more potential. If you own a PS5 don’t sleep on this portable system so you can enjoy all your games on the road or at home while you are sitting in the kitchen or rocking your little ones to sleep.

The PlayStation Portal is a must have! I love this device. It makes it easy for me to play my PlayStation in bed while my wife watches something on the TV. One thing to note is that if you’re experiencing lag, make sure your PS5 is hardwired into your network. Once I did that all lag I experienced was gone. I was even experiencing lag standing next to my PS5 while getting 500+ Mbps wirelessly. Do I wish this device could play games independently of a PS5? Yes! But I knew what this device was and it does that task extremely well.

Love it! Able to play anywhere with a stable internet connection.

One of the beat products from sony. So easy to use and is perfect for hand held gameplay especially with the new update.

I was glad that this was in the store. I was anxiously wanting this.

I have been waiting for Sony to make this product worth while and the new update did exactly that. With the ability to stream games straight from the PS PLUS service, this product has become well worth the purchase. It feels great in your hands and the screen is beautiful! Its the best mobile gaming device by far in my opinion.

Nice to be able to take game around the house and not be tied to main tv. I thought this would be a shelf sitter but find myself using it on a regular basis to let the kids use tv or hang out on the porch and play. Great screen smooth controls.

Great for those nights when your significant other wants you to go to bed but you're not ready. I love it! Surprisingly smooth, and works great! I wouldn't play competitive shooters with it but it's great for single player games. Does require a pretty robust internet connection though.

It’s extremely fun. Works very well! As long as you have a solid internet connection and your PS5 isn’t downloading anything, it runs great!

Haven’t had this device long, but so far I have enjoyed the ease of connecting to my PS5 when I’m out and about. As long as the internet is accessible and able to provide the minimum recommended internet speed it has worked fine. The display screen is nice and bright syncing to my PS5 with very minimal lag. Wish there were a way to save games on the device but I’m pretty that will come as time passes. Maybe not in this model but who knows.

Great Price,easy pick up process and very convenient

I got this with the intention of using it in my second floor bedroom while my PlayStation 5 is in the basement. On my home Wi-Fi this thing has worked for me flawlessly. There’s nothing like laying in your bed and playing your PlayStation. There’s nothing much to the device itself as it’s just a streaming platform. What is there feels very well-made. The screen is bright and does its job. I can’t attest to playing this on public or away from home Wi-Fi but if you’re planning on streaming in your house and you have decent Wi-Fi, it is a great device.

Phenomenal for people who do not want to game on a big tv or only have limited tvs! I’ve been big on playing single player games on my ps5 recently but the idea of turning on the tv and sitting on the couch gets tough, I can now switch on the portal while laying in bed and my fiancée watches tv and have no issues!

I love being able to play my games on the go and the streaming is even better

With the update that allows for streaming without your PS5 on... Magic. It works so well and the portal has a great hand feel. Definitely recommend hardwiring your PS5 if you want smooth connection when remoting but it is so fun when it works well. Direct streaming from Sony works perfectly even on a hotspot with my phone.

Love it! Great for my lifestyle and easy to setup. Pick up from Best Buy was easy and would do it again.

This thing gets a lot of hate online becuase it is WiFi only, but I gotta say, it's awesome. I don't always want to go upstairs and get in my game room. Sometimes I just want to sit on the couch downstairs and put in a quick session. This is superb for that. I've taken it on trips, too, and it works amazingly well in a hotel room. Well worth the money.

The portal was a great purchase the best buy employees was great and helpful i definitely recommend getting one

PS5 on the go can do everything on it that you do on the regular ps5
