The Playstation Portal is finally here and I’ve spent every spare minute testing it in as many places as possible. This is my Playstation Portal Review, it covers the following:
How well does it work at Home?
What kind of network do you need?
How stable is the Playstation Portal?
How well does it work on mobile data?
Does it work on public WiFi?
Does the portal work away from home?
Can you use it whilst commuting?
Is the Playstation Portal worth it?

The Playstation Portal is a handheld device that connects to your Playstation 5 and streams whatever games are on there directly to the Portal. It’s a divisive piece of tech with people either loving or hating it.
This review is less about the hardware and specifications and more about the experience and convenience of having a dedicated device for remote play. The biggest question being… Does the Playstation Portal offer a better experience than just playing on your phone or other devices via the free remote play app?

Thank you so much for all the love on this video, it's absolutely made my year! I'm still using the Portal most days and am still thoroughly enjoying it, it's by no means perfect but it's certainly earned it's nickname of 'The Dadstation'!

@@rtara11 You can 'wake it up' from rest mode via remote play (there is a setting to enable that on the console). But it has to be fully on for the games to actually play and stream.

See better reviews then. Every review I've seen so far has been balanced. You had dislike the reviews that actually explain the negatives instead of just saying "No Bluetooth" and moving on or saying "feels exactly the same to me" despite there being almost 80ms of added lag.

Best review I’ve seen yet. Well rounded and balanced. Would love to be able to have one but didn’t preorder as I didn’t think they’d be this popular & I missed out on the restock on Wednesday. I had it in my basket, clicked to pay & while it was processing, it went out of stock! I wonder how many of these units sold are by bots and scalpers hoping to make profit but I won’t pay them over RRP for it as it only encourages them.
@TheGameFatherUK

Great Review, I love the Portal. I agree with the pushing an update to show the battery percentage instead of the bars, however I found a way to view the percentage.

Well, I agree with you on the bluetooth so I've been testing a 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter on the Portal as a way to add it yourself.

@@TheGameFatherUK it’s funny, I’ve been playing a lot of gt7 on the portal and for me it’s been fine! I honestly don’t notice the stick size all that much. I did watch some videos on gta and someone mentioned when using a controller joystick to press forward continually then roll the stick left and right to turn, I can say that made a really big difference for me! Last time I played a GT game was on ps2 I think and I’m pretty sure I just used the dpad. Most games have felt really good, with the exception of destiny pvp and cyberpunk. While cyberpunk is passable, online multiplayer on such a small screen and even with a tiny amount of input delay can really be felt! But for $200 it’s been an awesome experience, it’s so nice to sit in the living room with my family and still play something in the background. Since my phone is an iPhone mini remote play was way too small on that screen, and my other option was my MacBook Air but that’s just way too many moving pieces and I rarely did it for that reason. Portal for me was a great purchase.

For the price double it and give us the portal pro basically a portable digital ps5 1440p oled display 1 tb internal storage with ability to upgrade the storage . 6-8 hr battery life . And ability to replace the sticks or use Hall effect sticks and triggers . I would gladly pay 399-499 for that they should call it the portal pro or re brand PlayStation vue to this potential handheld of mine . Or simply call it the ps go aka PlayStation go

I think there is a misunderstanding in regards to the Networkspeedtests. Mbps (MegaBITS per sec) != MBps (MegaBYTES per sec) BYTES is a unit of data composed of eight binary digit (8 bits). So for example: the roughly 100 Mbits measure on the mountainside are actually 100/8 MBits which is roughly 12MBytes per second and not 100 MBytes per second as mentioned in the video.

Thank you very much for this review! I think I will buy a backbone one for the remote play. Since I'm not going to use it in my home, I think that it's more convenient for the Wi-Fi and the data situation.
@UCLAKoolman

Great video and sums up my experience with the Portal well. I can't emphasize enough that the simplicity/convenience of the Portal is what elevates it above other devices I have that support remote play. As demonstrated in the video, you just wake the Portal + press the PS button and it connects to the PS5. That reason alone has me using this device way more than my other remote play capable devices. I'm actually playing my PS5 more than ever now. It's also a much more comfortable device than my other handhelds (Steam Deck, Switch, Retroid Pocket, etc.). I plan to only use the Portal on my home network. I have a mesh wifi system with four hubs around my home + workshop. I have a PS5 connected to one of the wifi hubs via ethernet. With this setup, I'm having a great experience playing anywhere in my home.

Great review thanks for the lengths you went to to test this bad boy out. I have been enjoying mine but a few things I would love to see added is while in the house a direct connection to the PS5 and not use the router plus enable cloud streaming directly to the Portal would be great (on top of the suggestions you made)

Agree with you on that, it would have been a nice addition, I think the cloud streaming will come in the next year or so. I tried adding bluetooth audio today, it's not been a great experience! I can kinda see why they didn't include it now.

I’m having a blast with my PSP 2023 whether I’m at home, work, and dining at Panera for example. 😂 I initially couldn’t connect to one of two PS5s I have at home due to it being solely connected via wifi; however, I purchased a decent WiFi extender from Amazon during Cyber Monday and now it connects flawlessly anywhere at home. The wired PS5 connects instantly to my Portal, naturally.
