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'!

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.

Ouch, that is some rough luck with the basket right there! I remember having the same issue trying to get a PS5 when they first came out. It's gross how many scalpers seem to get hold of, eBay is a horror show at the moment. Hope you manage to get hold of one soon! Thanks for the kind words 😊

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.

It's definitely a win as far as convenience goes. Some game play on it better than others, GT7 I find a bit fiddly with the smaller sticks compared to the full size dual sense ones.

@pooger7778 5 ай бұрын

@@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.

As a portal owner and someone who’s watched every portal video on YT, this is the truest depiction of what it’s like having the portal.

The Portal is already the greatest handheld ever made

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.

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.

Thanks! Stock is still a bit iffy in the UK, so wherever you are, hope you manage to get one! Just remember to try the free app first if you haven't already, then you'll know it'll work well in your setup :)

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)

@michaelmyersplays4992 5 ай бұрын

The only I have to say playing multiplayer on this thing kinda sucks lol but overall it’s amazing

@TheGameFatherUK 5 ай бұрын

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.

Great review! Do you have any background in tech sales? You clearly know what you are talking about, very different from other tech reviewers! This pitch was perfect and very transparent! Definitely going to get one 😄

@TheGameFatherUK 5 ай бұрын

Really appreciate that comment, thanks a bunch! I worked in retail IT for some years before moving over to corporate IT, believe it or not, I do kinda miss those days with customers (not all of them 😅). Hope you manage to get hold of one! Stock has certainly been a problem here in the UK and America too I believe.

@rexus619 5 ай бұрын

@@TheGameFatherUK I could tell, you clearly know your stuff! You got a refreshing take on reviews, I'm definitely going to follow your channel. And your right, it is completely sold out here in Portugal too, I'll just have to wait for a restock.
