So far, so good!

I like this, I’m getting the xbox version and I just got the nintendo version, that’ll make it a clean sweep as far as my collection, and the only problem is that I’d like this to have the hall effect sticks, but….you never know!

Excellent When You’re On The Move

This is a great device for portability with great visuals. The unit allows you some level of privacy if you need it, allows others to use the TV and you still want to play your PS5, and it’s a brick if there are no wireless internet connections available.

Great for mobility!

Fits fantastic in the hand. Quality product and great price. Only issue I have is sometimes it randomly disconnects from PS5 or has a hard time connecting. This does not happen often and it could just be my internet though so I can’t really fault the device yet it’s annoying.

A fine streaming device

At first it refused to connect to my PS5. After some troubleshooting, updates, and several reboots, it has been working fine.The screen is large and vivid, it has great haptics and good audio. It still streams at a lower consistent framerate than my iPhone 15 – which is always a solid 60 – with the occasional hiccup, but it’s acceptable.

Great when you have connection

This product is phenomenal when you have a good internet connection. I’m able to play any game from my PS5. It’s really a fantastic way to have your games on the go without having to buy a separate copy for your portable gaming.I will say it’s best to have a good grasp of the game on console before switching to this, especially if the game uses button prompts on the screen. For example, Madden is really tough to see the icons for “secure catch” or “run after catch.” If you know the controls by heart, it’s no big deal.It runs really well of phone hotspotting, you just have to manually configure the network first. It will burn through hotspot data FAST. Like 5gigs every 1-2 hours. So this is only really a viable option if you have unlimited high speed hotspot.I’ve found a few local places that have a strong enough signal on free WiFi to play without interruption. It just takes experimenting.I do wish the screen was a bit bigger, a tablet size screen would really do well. At the same time, I get they’re still trying to keep it compact.

Portal, but connectivity issues

Certain games are better playing it cozy laying in bed, so thats why I got the Ps Portal. Also, to be able to play my game while using the smart TV to stream a show or movie. Do note, you can’t watch media on the ps5 and play a game on the portal the same time. The downside of the portal is that of the internet is being slow it can cause connectivity issues on the portal and disconnects it. It gets laggy in certain areas of the house sometimes.

Cool

This remote is not only cool but it is also transportable because as long as you have a good WiFi connection you can play your library that’s on the PSN network. My son loves it!

Fantastic Device

Although my absolute wish from Sony would be for a dedicated handheld, this will do for now.Form factor and ergonomics – Very comfy to hold and not heavy. Essential a Dualsense controller shopped in half with a screen attached in between. So regular Dualsense users will feel right at home. The only thing that takes getting use to is the PS button and the touch screen for obvious reason. I really like how the power, volume buttons are designed to be away from the top of the screen bezel compared to other handhelds. This prevents accidental button pressing and is easy to reach. And for once, the controller (I’ll call it lightbar) is visible while gaming, so seeing games interact with this light is amazing.Playing the Portal (wired internet connection to PS5) – Although the latency is there, most games are very playable. Playing first person shooters are difficult, especially games that require fast reaction times, but playable. Playing games away from my home also works great. It was highly hesitant about playing games with slow latency, but being able to catch up on games while in bed or when the TV is being used is a huge win for me. Current game I am playing is Silent Hill 2 and it runs great on the Portal.Minor downsides – Battery life, I think can be better. I’m getting roughly 3 to 4 hours of game play with full Dualsense features, speakers, and screen brightness high (not full brightness). I think it’s a given that if I disable most of the Dualsense features the battery would last longer, although all the features are so nice to have on a portable device. The speakers could also be better, although fairly loud, the clarity and low tones such as bass are missing. At least comparing to Steam Deck, the speakers are much better here, where you can actually here more details in games. With the Portal, I found that it was lacking that clarity, Silent Hill 2 for example, it is hard to hear the ambient background noise, and surrounding enemy direction. The other sounds are amplified such as character grunts and voices.Overall I’m really enjoying this streaming device, and only hope Sony will come out with a dedicated handheld with the same form factor. I will definitely continue using the Portal for a long time coming.

DAD MODE ACTIVATED

Don’t listen to the naysayers, but also don’t mistake this product for something it’s not.It is NOT: a device that you natively download and run games on anywhere in the world. I wish it was, but once you get past that, you appreciate what it is.It IS:The ultimate parent friendly, tv sharing game streaming handheld. On my home Wi-Fi, it works seamlessly and runs games beautifully with a negligible amount of lag that’s only really noticeable in fast paced competitive games like DOOM or DB Sparking Zero. (But still totally playable in those titles!) away from home, it’s alright. Depends on the speed of the wifi in the place you’re at. If you’re maybe at a friends house on their home WiFi, it might run great but you might get iffy performance in your local coffee shop.Speaking of DOOM, it’s a great way for me to enjoy my bloody, gruesome, demon ripping content while not exposing my infant to such imagery in crystal clear 4k on a 65” display. Seriously, for parents, this thing rules. Put on a movie or kids show and tear out demon hearts on your portal while the kid sings Moana. Thank me later 🤘

I Love My PlayStation Portal!

I love my PS Portal. I’m getting more gaming time in then I have in probably the last two years because of it. The ability to play it anywhere is great. I haven’t experience any lagging or input lag while playing. So far I’ve played Astro Bot, Rocket League and Madden 25 on it and have had an excellent gaming experience with it. The setup took less then 10 minutes and I was gaming on it quickly after receiving it. As long as you have good internet you shouldn’t experience any issues with the PlayStation Portal and I highly recommend getting the Portal especially if you have limited access to a TV in your house. This is a game changer and you’ll be able to game whenever you want.

If you love your PS5, you will love this.

I have no reason why I bought a Portal, but I am finding it to be one of my favorite gadgets to go to while hanging around the house. I have all my PS4 games on a PS5 compatible HD, and they run great on the Portal. The screen is just big enough, and easy to see the action. I have played Madden25, MLB 24, FIFA25, and NBA25. I bought the PS5 for College Football which is a blast on the Portal. For having no preconceived notions on this product, I ended up loving it, and playing many games that I would not have, if I had to use the TV. I interrupt no one’s viewing of the big TV, and I can go into another room if I choose. I wish you could use two on one PS5. 😂

LOVE IT

I won’t lie, I debated for awhile about getting one, as I’ve only had my PS5 since February, but after looking at reviews, especially reviews on how GTA performes on here, I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I don’t regret it. While I do wish it could use Bluetooth headphones, not being able too is a small price to pay to be able to game in the palm of your hand, and also free up the tv on occasion when someone else might not want to watch you play or maybe they want to watch their own show. It’s worth it to me.

Best birthday present for my boyfriend! He loves that he can take that on trips or when he’s home from college so he doesn’t have to bring the whole thing!

Great device but kind of a paper weight without internet

I was excited to try this after waiting so long for it to be in stock. Overall I’m really happy with the purchase but noticed if you don’t have internet it’s kind of a paper weight. It would be nice if there were some local storage options to download small games or if you could access Netflix/Prime Vide etc to watch tv and movies independent of your PS5 if you wanted. Those apps can’t take up too much local storage. SD card spot could of been added to accomodate for additional storage. Overall though, for what it is, I have enjoyed playing games in other rooms or while traveling. PS, online first person shooters are pretty tough on these. I’d stick to other games that dont require a super quick response time.

Could be better

Wish you could use Everything as you can on the Ps5 sadly you can’t other then that, playing the games anywhere with steady internet is amazing, very good quality screen, controls, its been years since i played on controller, but my kids have taken over it, since they do play ps5 , i am more on PC now, Just keep in mind, you do need a Ps5 console to connect to it, once you’ve done so, you can use it anywhere(with internet connection) I’ll give it 4 stars

Beautiful screen with some hang ups

This device is exactly as it says. A remote gaming hand held. It can not do anything else except that.Pros-Can use anywhere with a strong wifi connection-Beautiful screen-Dual sense controller feel including the ambient lighting-Built in buttons for seamless gameplay like screenshots, recording, built in micCons-connection ps5/portal wifi are both needed-control buttons are fairly far apart when compared to the controls-battery consumption is pretty high-No ui to customize controls or other features-It also contains a good amount of dead pixels when loading screen changes-[Important] No bt connections outside of the devices for Sony exclusive devices(comes with an aux port for audio)-[Important] ps5 when disconnected from remote play abruptly will not turn off ps5-moving and button controls aren’t as responsive as they could be which is mostly an issue with fps and action oriented games-Size is large for a portable handheld and would need a case as each part can easily break-TouchPad functionality is utilized with a touch screen tap twice which is hard to do with the sizeAll in all, size wise quite large and basic features are lacking like bt, settings management and connectivity is somewhat stable. The screen however is beautiful as well as the concept of the dual sense features like ambient lighting.The main reason for the score is the price and lack of basic features like internet and streaming for the price. A ps5 is like 400-500 used but the portal and headset/buds run almost as much which is way to high considering most tabs and phones can do what this does with some added.TLDR: Great if you have the money and are just trying to play most games when away. It is only a remote player so functions are about the same as the remote app. Features and Accessibility are lacking but for most games enthusiasts aren’t a deal breaker. Willing to up to 4 star if the device had common bt/internet capabilities or if the price was around $100
