PlayStation Portal Remote Player

I have my PS5 wired to my router. It's not using the Virgin Media router for WiFi. I have theirs in "modem mode" and use a £90 TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 router with 4 aerials on it. I don't have a fancy mesh setup or anything like that, it's just a regular router you'd buy if upgrading from your ISP's with no tech skills required. So this isn't some elitist ultimate experience that is only available to network professionals. I have not, and flat out refused, to change any settings on PS5 - e.g. changing the resolution to 1080p and any of that nonsense people suggest. The device is worthless if every time you use your console on the TV, you have to keep switching your resolution back and forth, so I point blank refused to do it. It's set to 4K, 120hz and HDR as per normal. I have got in the habit of putting my PS5 in rest mode rather than shutting down, and enabled the network connection when in rest mode - that way your PS5 turns on when you turn on the Portal. Performance for me is flawless. I've been all around the house with it (modest 3 bed semi) and no issues. I'm used to streaming, having used Geforce Now extensively, and Nvidia Gamestream - so I know what good streaming is like. With it running over your local network rather than the web (unlike GF Now) this is obviously the optimum streaming experience. I am playing in May '24, and I gather there was a major patch that "significantly" improved the performance of the device a month or so earlier. So my experience may differ from early adopters. I don't see compression artefacts, judder, stutter, latency or disconnects. It all just works perfectly; like owning a "PS5 Switch". It's particularly good for older games, or those running in performance mode, as the 1080p Portal Screen means they run at native resolution, so it looks better than playing the game on your TV, albeit minus HDR. Something like RDR2 which has poor resolution on PS5 (compared to XSX) would definitely be better on Portal than on your TV. For the ultimate latency test I tried AC Unity, which is an old 30fps PS4 game running at 1080p. This game is now in its element on Portal. It looks amazing even compared to modern games, and whilst 30fps isn't ideal for streaming, it's actually great to play and doesn't feel laggy at all. Obviously 60fps games will feel even better. The screen is very bright and I haven't touched any brightness settings, so that's how it came out of the box. It also seems to have less glare than my iPad screen that I'd previously used for PS remote play. That's despite having a tempered glass screen protector on it. I gather the sticks are shorter than on a regular PS5 pad, but I haven't actually noticed when playing. Sound is excellent. Better than my Switch OLED even! More like my old 14" portable TV's of yesteryear than a handheld console! So yeah, this really is the "ultimate Switch"! Because my PS5 turns on with the Portal, and because it runs so flawlessly, it really is like having a Switch but with PS5 graphics. Currently playing AC Liberation which I also own on Switch, but clearly the experience is a million times better on my Portal, and looks better than if I were using my big OLED TV. 99% of the time when I use my Switch in handheld mode, I'm in the house and connected to my home Wi-Fi. Sure in the Switch TV commercials it shows cherry picked trendy and attractive actors pretending to play it at a basketball court or skatepark, but let's be brutally honest..........who really plays at such places? We all mostly use the Switch in handheld mode whilst we or our partner is watching/hogging the TV or a movie in the same room. That makes this the perfect device, and more akin to whatever the Nintendo Switch 3 will be like in 2030! Albeit you have your entire Playstation collection at your fingertips, anywhere in the house! I took it to a relatives house who had good Wi-Fi broadband, and it played exactly as it did in my house, even though my PS5 was miles away. If you take it on holiday and **IF** you have good Wi-Fi and internet at your destination, then it will be perfectly useable and like taking your PS5 and TV on holiday. I tried connecting to my mobile phone as a hot spot at home, but the 5G signal here is terrible and whilst it was playable, it would occasionally stutter. In an area with good coverage, I think it would also be perfectly good. Easy 5/5 stars for me based on what I wanted it for, and how well it does it. This is my primary way of playing PS5 now and has made me want to buy all third party games for my PS5 rather than XSX or PC, simply because I have this device and the capability it offers.

Absolutely fantastic! I can now play my PS5 on the go and play without taking over the TV from the rest of the house. The battery life is excellent and the screen quality is also very good, I've had no issues with glare or being unable to see the screen in daylight. Also had this connected to hotel Wi-Fi and streamed from my PS5 flawlessly. I would recommend tweaking the settings of your router and PS5 if you experience any lag. I did and some simple changes fixed it completely. Only downside is you are unable to stream Netflix or watch YouTube, if they fix that with an update then the PS Portal will be the ultimate streaming device.

Great device. If you want a stable connectionypu have to change some settings on your PS5 and to connect it to the internet through a cable. There are plenty of YouTube videos explaining this. After doing this, I easily connected it to my PS5. At the beginning you will have to do some updates but that's 10 minute time. Enjoy your device. As you can see no lag and I am on home WiFi. I haven't tested yet on public WiFi or my 5G phone connection.

Now is the perfect time to get the PlayStation portal all of the early issues have been fixed and streaming is now great, although in the future I hope that Ssony figures out how to link physical games, my collection is 95% physical thankfully some are on there already, I'm mainly a jrpg gamer which is not the top of Sony's to put on the portal list, PS premium games are plentiful and my digital games will keep me using it, issues have kept me from my ps5 pro this is a god send, even for me, if you're digital only or mostly and have a family its essential.

The PlayStation Portal delivers exactly what it promises - seamless PS5 remote play in a dedicated handheld form factor. The 8-inch LCD screen is crisp and vibrant, while the full DualSense controller layout feels natural and responsive for extended gaming sessions. Performance over Wi-Fi is impressive when your connection is solid. Games stream smoothly with minimal input lag, making it genuinely viable for most titles beyond just turn-based games. The 1080p resolution looks sharp on the device's screen size. Build quality feels premium with comfortable ergonomics that work well for longer play sessions. Battery life hits around 7-8 hours depending on usage, which is respectable for a streaming device. The main limitation is its total dependence on Wi-Fi and your PS5 being powered on. No local game storage or cloud streaming means it's purely a remote play device. Connection quality can make or break the experience. For PS5 owners with strong home Wi-Fi who want to game away from the TV, the Portal excels at its specific purpose. Just don't expect it to replace your main console or work reliably outside your home network.

I got this for my son’s birthday and he’s been using it non-stop since. The graphics are great, the sound is spot on, and there’s hardly any delay when he’s playing which I was a bit worried about before buying. The controls feel just like a normal PlayStation controller so he picked it up straight away without any fuss. It’s been really handy being able to free up the main TV as well, especially in the evenings. The screen is bright and clear and it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Battery life has been decent too for longer gaming sessions. I would say just make sure you’ve got good Wi-Fi because it definitely runs better with a strong connection. Overall though it’s been a great gift and one that actually gets used every day, which says it all really

Potential to be a great device, however so unusable in its current state. I have very strong internet and WiFi and I couldn't cloud stream games to the point they were playable. Had high hopes for this but sadly had to return.

Recomendo a loja, chegou com uma semana de antecedência. Produto novo e lacrado. Parabéns ao pessoal da Salva Smart. Quanto ao produto, comprei já sabendo de suas propostas. Precisei aumentar a minha internet de casa, de 300MG para 500Mg, pois no meu quarto que é sobrado tinha muitos travamentos. 500 megas resolveu. Valer a pena a compra do Ps Portal é uma questão muito pessoal, sinceramente para um aparelho que reproduz imagem custar mais de 1,500 reais não acho que é para qualquer usuário. Pra quem não é entusiasta e não é colecionador, acredito que 1,000 reais está muito bem pago. Não me arrependo da compra, mas hoje depois de testar o aparelho e ver como funciona e quais são suas funcionalidades, não compraria. Gastem 1,500 reais em jogos e esperem baixar para no mínimo 1,000.

Perfekt

Ürü hızlı ve sağlam bir şekilde elime ulaştı. Kurulumunda bir iki aksaklık oldu ama olsun. İlk olarak ben kurulumda hata yaptım sonrasında da cihaz bağlantıda sorun yaşadı ama en nihayetinde ps5ime bağlandı. Şu an için evin başka bir köşesinde oynuyorum ama seyahatlerimde bavula ilk koyacağım şey olacak bu güzel makine. Param var ve nereye harcasam diye düşünüyorsanız düşünmeyin ve bunu alın

Got gift for my friend and its geniune product.

Die PlayStation Portal überzeugt insgesamt mit einem sehr starken Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Für das, was Sony hier liefert, bekommt man eine durchdachte und hochwertig umgesetzte Erweiterung des PS5-Ökosystems. Die Konnektivität mit der PS5 funktioniert stabil und zuverlässig. Bei guter Netzwerkqualität ist das Remote-Erlebnis flüssig, reaktionsschnell und praxistauglich – genau so, wie man es von einem First-Party-Produkt erwartet. Das Display ist ein echtes Highlight: Größe und Darstellung sind mit 5/5 perfekt gewählt. Spiele wirken scharf, klar und immersiv – kein Gefühl von Kompromiss, sondern echtes PlayStation-Feeling unterwegs oder auf der Couch. Ebenso überzeugend sind Steuerung und Bediengefühl. Die Integration der DualSense-Features, die Ergonomie und die Wertigkeit liegen klar bei 5/5. Man merkt sofort: Das ist kein Zubehör von der Stange, sondern konsequent auf Gamer ausgelegt. Die Akkulaufzeit ist solide, wenn auch nicht überragend. Mit 3,5/5 kommt man gut durch längere Sessions, Power-User werden aber zwischendurch laden müssen – akzeptabel, aber mit Luft nach oben. Einschränkend ist anzumerken, dass die PlayStation Portal nur bedingt für kompetitive PvP-Titel wie Battlefield oder Call of Duty: Modern Warfare geeignet ist. Durch die unvermeidbare zusätzliche Latenz beim Remote Play kann es in hochdynamischen, reaktionskritischen Spielsituationen zu Nachteilen kommen. Das ist jedoch keine Schwäche des Produkts, sondern eine realistische Konsequenz des Einsatzzwecks. Die PlayStation Portal ist klar nicht für E-Sport oder Hardcore-PvP konzipiert, sondern für entspanntes, immersives Spielen – Singleplayer-Titel, Story-Games oder Koop-Erlebnisse sind hier das ideale Einsatzfeld. In diesem Rahmen erfüllt die PlayStation Portal ihren Zweck sehr überzeugend.
