PlayStation Portal Remote Player 5

The PS portal is a remote play device that connects to your PS5 allowing you to play games without use of the television. This is what it is advertised as doing, and it does this very well. There has been a recent update to the device that allows you to stream games from the PS Plus library of games if you are a PS Plus subscriber, completely bypassing your PS5. As of this review, the feature is still in beta, however, from my testing it works well. If you have a good connection from your PS5 to your router and have a good WiFi connection outside, you can even remote play your PS5 while you are not at home, such as in a hotel. I suggest using your phone's hot spot on a 5G connection to do this. For a more responsive and lag free experience make sure your PS5 is connected to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of connecting via WiFi. This will provide a stable experience on your PS Portal. Remember that this is not a stand alone console like a Switch or a Steam Deck allowing you to play games directly on the machine. The PS Portal connects to your PS5 or can stream games from the PS Plus library if you are a subscriber. The PS Portal itself has all the functions of the PS5 controller which is awesome. That means when you play a game that makes use of the adaptive triggers, the PS Portal will feel just like your PS5 controllers. For instance, pulling an arrow back on a bow in a game with the actually feels like there is bow string tension in the trigger. This is light years better than just getting a set of controllers that attaches to a phone for remote play. It also has all the buttons like the PS button, screen capture button, and options button. The only thing missing is the touch pad. In order to use the touch pad, you actually touch the screen on the PS Portal and a virtual touch pad pops up on the screen. My favorite feature is that the PS Portal allows you to wake up your PS5 from sleep mode. If someone in the house is using the TV, no problem. Just pick up your PS Portal, connect to your PS5, and starting playing your games!

Edit 11/9/2025: Upping this to 5 stars. PlayStation released cloud streaming recently and it is AMAZING. All the connectivity issues with Remote Play back to my PS5 are nonexistent with Cloud Streaming, and there are nearly 3,000 games available. The Portal finally feels like a standalone handheld console, rather than being tethered to a (sometimes) finicky Remote Play connection I really wanted to use this device more. I loved the idea of having the ability to play my PlayStation 5 from the couch with something else on TV. However, there are some limitations: 1) Your PS5 must be plugged in via ethernet for this to work well. For whatever reason, the WiFi on this device isn't as strong as something like an iPhone when my PlayStation 5 was connected via WiFi. 2) Not a great device for traveling. Due to the device size, it's hard (especially adding a case) to fit this in a smaller bag or easily pull out on a plane. Obviously, this is limited too by the fact that it needs to connect back to your PS5, and I had pretty consistent issues trying to use hotel WiFi or hotspots to connect. If you don't mind the above flaws, this device feels great, the feedback is great, and as a controller it's the closest thing to a DualSense controller. My only gripe with the controller itself is the sticks are smaller than they are on normal controller, and I would've liked the bigger size.

I 100% bought this because I'm an Elden Ring fan (PS5). I didn't want to be tied down to the loft all the time either. For reference, my Internet has 4 waypoints throughout the house (2 upstairs and 2 down), and a router on the outside of the house (Breaker box - Yeah, my first experience with that, too). Here's my legitimate experience: This thing is awesome. Gameplay is absolutely seamless. It acts as a controller if you're sitting right in front of the TV. I tested it with PvP (Person vs Person) online play, and also seamless. The only complaint I have is when I'm in my bedroom and the door is closed, every now and then I'll get an "Internet is Weak" symbol. But if you play online, it's very mild and semi resembles lag for a second. Then it's back to being good. Other than that, all rooms (Including the garage) work well. As an online player, I have to steas that's a minor inconvenience, I have not been kicked from an online game. I have not tried playing remotely from another WiFi source, so I can't give a review on that portion. BUT, this has 100% met my needs. Screen quality is the same as my TV (Sony, 2023 Smart TV), linking it to my PS5 was surprisingly easy, and all games were available. 100% wish I had known about this before. If you're an avid player, definitely a freedom piece to roam your house/apartment.

Je la trouve super bien PlayStation a fait un bon produit qui est pratique ils ont fait une mise à jour dessus et ça c'est bien plus besoin de ps5 on a accès directement à des jeux dessus le seul petit problème qu'il y a il faut avoir une bonne connexion Internet et il y a pas tout les jeux mais dans l'ensemble elle est légère qui pratique un peu loin de partout et ça c'est bien ne touche ils sont fluides l'écran et bien dans l'ensemble c'est une console je vous la recommande vraiment

Bilkom garantili olması güzel. Sıfır kutu sorunsuz calıstı tavsiye ederim.

Chat with the seller and discuss all your queries before buying like I did. Its authentic product and works perfectly. There will be no warranty on this product though because you are buying from third party. Now when it comes to PS Portal it's an accessories not and handheld don't get confused or deluded by negative brain dead comments by illiterate users......its for time crunch on your games when you are not using PS5 and while you are travelling. Just connect your PS5 to ethernet with strong internet connection and your good to go. Perfect if you wanna play while you are away from your home and wanna play games of your console.

I got the PlayStation Portal Remote Player as a gift for my girlfriend since we are at my place and her place on and off and we don't want to keep carrying the whole console all the time. The Midnight Black finish looks sleek and stylish, and the device feels premium in hand, I don't regret not getting the other color. Setup was quick and easy, you just have to connect to the PS5 and log in. The 8-inch screen is bright and sharp, and the controls feel exactly like a DualSense controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. Overall, this was a great gift for a PlayStation fan. If you have a PS5 and want flexibility to play away from the TV, this is an excellent choice!

Excelente producto!! calidad Sony Para empezar debes saber que no es una consola portátil, esto debe quedar claro. este funciona de manera muy sencilla esto funciona a manera de extensión de tu pantalla, es decir si no te dejan jugar en la pantalla por que la están viendo puedes prender control y ver ahí tus juegos, sin necesidad de interrumpir la película del crio. Cabe resaltar que debes tener buena conexión a internet ya que de lo contrario te encontraras con una gran frustración al realizar tus comandos para esquivar o atacar y que no se realicen en tiempo es decir un delay. Otra cuestión, si se actualiza tendrán que ver de nuevo su consola en el televisor para configurarlo de lo contrario les dirá que no encuentra la consola
