Have you been enjoying the PS Portal?

I was the ultimate Portal hater until I finally tried my friend's. I ended up buying one and I've been very happy with it. I completed the Tomb Raider, Rise and Shadow trilogy of games all on the portal and it was an excellent experience. I love being able to play the portal from the couch while I've got MLB or NBA on the TV. It has worked well also on the go at my parent's house over their WiFi.

Best new Dad companion ever. People who are confused on who this device is for are really out of touch.

What I do is connect a bluetooth headset to the ps5. Once on the portal I change the audio output to headset. Just like that you’ll be able to use a different headset on the portal.

Fantastic addition to my PS5. The problem with todays society is that every tech device that comes out must do everything for you. From watching TV on the go, doing your daily banking to shopping and socialising. Let's thank the phone industry for that. This device does just one thing for you. Can you guess what it is?

New dad here, and this combined with the Rog ally are a god send.

Having the chance to pull out my portal at work during downtime cannot be explained with words.

I was surprised how light and comfortable it is to hold. I have average mid tier Internet speed and it worked well enough. It's good for simple games that don't require fast reaction time or having to read notes and text on a small screen.

I’ve had it since launch and absolutely love it. As someone who has two PS5s hooked up at home, I mostly use it while away from home and it’s awesome in that regard.

Chiming in to say I adore my portal. Been so handy to enjoy my ps5 while life is chaotic with a family.

I think for a husband and father this is the perfect product. Honestly I hate when I have to turn off the PS just to let my kid or wife watch tv when I'm in the middle of a game....

i play cod on mine perfectly fine tbh

Mine works flawlessly, even on games that require twitch responses. I have my PS5 directly wired to the router. Gig speed download, and I paid to increase my upload speed to 30 m/bs as well. I can play in any room of my two story house with zero issues.

I’ve tried to use remote play a few times on different devices and always felt like games were unplayable. If the Portal uses the same technology I can’t see it as being any better.

So what happens when you get controller drift? Just curious.

Just got one and have been hooked on balatro. Perfect game to play on the side.

I have the Sony pulse explore buds … paid £200 for them and although the sound isn’t on par with my AirPods Pro 2, still has strong sound clear audio quality and you can connect them to your phone via Bluetooth and listen to music and game audio simultaneously 👌

The only people I’ve spoken to who are critical of the Portal are people who don’t have kids.

Remote Play on my phone or tablet has awful lag (video only, audio keeps playing). Mirror Play, a third-party app, works beautifully so I think my solution is pairing a DualShock 4 to my tablet and using that, despite the juggling of two devices. Wish I could trust Sony’s tech to match a third-party developer but I have no reason to.

Love the portal, i actually switch to the portal to play certain games like: hell divers 2, Stellarblade, watch dogs and jak 2

I personally couldn't wait to get rid of this thing. I have my ps5 connected to 1gb ethernet and I've got great WiFi but, I still couldn't get smooth gameplay. I also didn't think the screen was great. Too much motion blur.

Many see the portal as a useless decive who doesn't stand alone like the Nintendo Switch but don't seem to understand who its meant for the portal is meant for anyone who has kids and wants to play video games as there children watch tv or anyone who just wants to handheld game withought being tied to the TV if you are considering the portal be mindful that your connection must be decent to avoid frame drops or loss of connection

Here in Mexico is not even out yet, I got it from the US, I’m loving it.

I play all those games you named on my portal and I don't have any issues. I love it

It’s opened up the type of games I get on PS5. I prefer to play the more laid back games away from my desk so would always opt for a Switch version before I got the Portal. Still using my Backbone for when I’m away from home.

To be able to be out of town and play games without lugging around your ps5 ia a win win

Ive put getting one off, i won't take it out, but I do think i would just sit on the sofa/bed using it rather than hoarding the main TV. Looked at the steam deck, but it looks too faffy, and im getting older, im good with tech, just not with software downloads and patches for this and another for that. With this, i can just pick it up and play.

How do you think the portal plays with sports games?

If you have 2 accounts on the ps5 can you choose which account you can use?

I’m glad we all agree that this was made for dads who don’t get the tv 😂🤝🏾

How does this perform against playing the remote play app on mobile or maybe plugging your controller into a laptop remote play app? Is it an upgrade worth £200

Is the micro stuttering problem solved ? Any comment on that would be very appreciated ❤

So I’m thinking about getting one because I work a lot and it’ll be a cool thing to use on breaks will it still work while away from home

Is the Witcher 3 playable on the portal?

Most people don't realize that you can't connect to a 2.4ghz wifi channel. The connection needs to be through 5ghz. It doesn't matter how fast your connection is, you will lag if you connect to 2.4ghz.

I got mine over a week ago and have been enjoying it so far. Playing Fallout 4 and Final fantasy 7 rebirth on my bed instead of the couch has been more relaxing.

Been wanting to get this but I thought it was a device where you can play offline. I have a portable hotspots but where I work there tends to no be any service so that’s a shame

Well you just saved me$200…the fact that you can’t play games natively is a ball drop smh wtf sony. (Edit): I got it last night and it’s choppy but I need a WiFi extender. I love it!😂😂😂

Love my Portal, play it several times a week!

It’s finally available everywhere

Got one used 100 bucks

Can you stream PS plus games? 🧐 Or only the ones you own

I just got the portal and I’m unsure about it I tried playin fc24 on it and the lag is annoyin and I’m in the same room as my router and ps5 and it wasn’t a good experience 2 use the portal

Still no one has answered my question, can you play it away from home where you have wifi and your ps5 has wifi but you are hundreds of miles away?????

Sometimes its great to be wrong, and I was because I thought this was a bad move by Sony but I'm glad its paying off for them. I don't have a use for it for the reasons you state but clearly there's plenty of demand for it. I still think that if they'd made a full on "Switchstation" where you could install and play truly remotely then the appeal would have been even greater.

You can remote play on your phone…

Won't buy one unless it's under 100 just not a whole lot of value for something I might play when I lay in bed

Thank you, i will buy it 👌

Can you tether it to your phone and use that as internet and play on the subway or bus??

I was desperate to have one and finally got one the other month, but unfortunately it just didn’t run very well on my wi fi set up, just constant stutters and judders made pretty much everything unplayable unless I was in my study next to my router. As soon as I left that room it was unplayable, even just down the hall and in my living room. I was so desperate for this device, it would allow me to play my PS5 so much more having a family, but it just would not function properly and I tried absolutely everything and all the tips but they made no difference, I even paid £180 to get a guy to install a Ethernet port in my living room so I could hardwired my PS5!!! It’s really sad as my other mate who also has the same sky router as me said he’s works flawlessly in all 3 stories of his house and he hasn’t even hardwired his PS5!!

If you like playing ps5 while watching TV at the same time, the answer is yes.

i love mine use it almost every night.

It's a crazy ha I will choose a PS Vita over this. Cheers mate!

In my work i have REMOTE PLAY in the computer and i never had any issues playing in the PC, the only thing is bothering me that the PC monitor is not 4K, So i only focus in trophy grinds and collecting only.

I bought mine 1 day after launch and I had issues w with resident evil village, I couldn't fire my weapon. Looked on the net and people had similar problems. The solution was to turn off adaptive triggers which put me off taking this device too seriously tbh

It’s still ropey with lag and cut outs. I’ve played it at home and out on WiFi. It’s been 5/10 experience for me.

I love the ps portal it’s a great device

I wish it had more features, Id like it as a back up controller for the Ps5 in a pinch or for 2 player. Also theres should be some games that take advantage of the device in the way that Wii U worked, just for some Novelty experiences. An Astro game would be cool for that

Can you play online?

Hello. yes one of the best accessories for PS5.

Worth buying? But where we will buy it lols?

Wish I could play Ps5 games on my Apple Watch, or if the screen size could get smaller than that.

Can you play with best quality and still say Portal game play is the best compared to ROG Ally

I don’t even use it anymore

Even tho I have two TVs, I find it much easier to spend time watching things my girls want to watch together while playing with the portal to get my gaming in. The device is working out lovely

Still sold out smh

NEXT UK PORTAL shipments please or uk dates too? Please or please.

Even If my wifi wasn't dogshit I would never put that much faith Into streaming games

I want one but can't afford it when there's so many other games I could buy instead

If you own a steam deck don't buy the PS Portal there are third party solutions to stream from your PS5 that work better than this piece of garbage

I would play ps portal 🎮a whole lot more if I could play in hotels when I’m at work every week.

I said the same thing i said back then... Its a terrible value buy & extremely niche. The dualedge has more long term value & is all around a better product imo. Non-replacable joysticks on this device was either: - an embarrassing oversight given the technology already exists in their dualedge controllers - a purposeful omission so they can sell a "pro version" with this feature for $100 more next year. Its an extremely limited device, with a mediocre screen & guaranteed stick drift by around the 12 month mark or sooner & only comes with a 1 year warranty Meanwhile the dualedge has tonnes of actually useful functionality, has replacable sticks & can be sent back every 3 months for a replacement under warranty to prevent having to even buy new sticks (source... Ive been doing it for a year already)

Omg you’re handsome 😍
