PlayStation Portal Remote Player

Great for playing when lying on couch. No need to carry playstation around when traveling anymore.

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.

Read some of the mixed reviews for this, so was a bit wary: but its brilliant, and can highly recommend. Evenings I can sit in the Living Room with the rest of my family: they can watch TV, I can play on my PS5. PS5 is a wired connection via a TP-Link Gigabyte switch to BT fibre router, PS Portal Wi-Fi to BT router - 30Gb internet ( Wi-Fi is on the other side of a solid concrete block wall), all ethernet cables are certified Cat5e. I mainly play Fallout76 online, no connection issues, and no discernible lag. Easy setup, screen is bright and sharp: you may need new spectacles if the game font size is a bit small. Battery life is better than that of my Dual Sense Edge controller, I've yet to play an evening and find it needs re-charging. Issues: if you are having connection issues you may get a noticeable performance improvement if your PS5 is hard wired and not Wi-Fi, and don't use cheap cables; I have to leave the PS5 in standby mode, it wont connect if not powered on; a PS controller normally last me 18 months before the controls start to drift, be interesting to see how long these controls last - if its only 18 months, that's an expensive replacement; remember to fully turn off the Portal, or on next use it will need charging; when the PS5 powers on it also turns on the TV locally connected, so I have to go back and turn that TV off - thats just a minor irritation.

I read the reviews and bought a TP Link along with the portal because forewarned is forearmed. On Christmas day after fully updating the device and connecting everything sure enough my lad experienced some lag in dedicated single player games and especially with on-line Roblox content. Single player stuff was playable but annoying, multi-player stuff was laughably bad. My boys setup is in his bedroom and connected to the router via Wifi with no hardwired connection available. Had already read numerous accounts of peeps having better performance with their PS5’s connected directly to the router. Not wanting to drill holes all over the house and not having 50 ft of cable handy I instead had the TP link plugs ready and waiting. Set them up on Boxing day and created an ethernet connection to his PS5 through the house plug sockets, basic setup, cheapest option, no frills. Swapped his connection over to LAN and it’s like night and day. The portal is now useable and he’s spent all day happily playing his games. Don’t get me wrong there’s still the occasional micro-stutter and slowdown but its rare-ish and doesn’t completely spoil gameplay. As for the rest the screen is nice, the sound is pants, battery life is kinda short, ergonomics are ok and the charging port location is silly. If you buy this make sure you have a wired internet connection or you’re in for world of pains-per-second. Oh and grab yourself a gripcase and a decent set of stick-grips while you’re at it. For the time being all is good. Sony hardware, Caveat Emptor.

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.

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.

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

Erstmal vorweg sollte den letzten nun auch klar sein, das wir es hier mit der Portal mit einem Gaming ZUBEHÖR zu tun haben und sie KEIN Ersatz oder Konkurrent zu einer Switch oder Steamdeck etc ist. Jedes hat seine Daseinsberechtigung und ist dementsprechend teurer. Somit ist die Relation der Preise mehr als gerechtfertigt. So, nun aber ein paar Worte zur Portal. Nach ein paar Stunden und Tests später meine Eindrücke: - Schnelle Einrichtung der Portal (nach ca 10 Minuten war alles komplett fertig) - Einfache Menüführung - Schnelles laden und installieren von Updates - Sie hat schon Gewicht, liegt aber sehr gut in der Hand - Bildschirm hat eine schöne Grösse - Klares und scharfes Bild (auch dann immer noch, wenn man die Helligkeit runtersetzt) - Kabelgebundene Kopfhörer funktionieren problemlos (benutze bis zum Release der Elite Earbuds meine Bose Kopfhörer) - Problemloses abspeichern der Speicherdaten der Spiele - Akkulaufzeit von mindestens 4 Stunden (bei voller Intensität) reicht auch vollkommen aus. Ansonsten hat man noch das (nicht zu kurze) USB-C Ladekabel, welches man an den Strom oder an eine Powerbank anschliessen kann. Nun noch ein paar Details zum Streamen (wichtig ist natürlich das eigene Netz zu beachten); dabei habe ich folgende Spiele mit der Portal getestet (jeweils ein Zeitraum von mindestens 20 Minuten): - Disney Speedstorm: Kaum Lags vorhanden (minimale kurze Einbrüche; Bild wurde kurz krisselig, hat sich aber sehr schnell gefangen) - Robocop Rogue City: Keine Einbrüche - EA Sports FC24: Während einer Partie stotterte es zwischendurch minimal, fing sich aber immer sehr schnell wieder - Final Fantasy VII Original: Zum Grossteil nichts; Einmal gab es ein Wlan Hinweis (Globus mit Ausrufezeichen)…Bild blieb stehen, wurde schwarz, als das Bild nach nichtmal 1 Sekunde wieder da war, wurde es verschwommen und krisselig - wie man es vom Streamen bei nicht so guter Verbindung gewohnt ist -…das ganze hat aber nichtmal 5 Sekunden gedauert bis das Bild wieder normal war. Bewusst habe ich mich (abgesehen vom persönlichen Interessensgebiet) zum Testen für verschiedene Genres entschieden (von ruhig und grafisch nicht Anspruchsvoll bis hinzu actionreich und grafisch hoher Standard), um zu sehen, wie die Portal mit den unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten klarkommt. Wie im Vorfeld überall schon erwähnt, braucht es eine gute, stabile Internet Verbindung. Ist das gegeben, wird man seinen Spaß mehr als haben. Die Portal ist nicht nur dafür gedacht, um auf dem Klo weiter zu zocken. Nur weil jemand etwas nicht gebrauchen kann, ist es für die Welt nicht gleich Müll. Ich gehe da mit, das die Portal ein Nischenprodukt ist. Und glaube trotzdem daran, das es ein Erfolg wird. Denn wer eine andere Plattform nutzt, wird sich auch das ein oder andere Zusatzprodukt zulegen, was nicht für die Masse konzipiert ist. Wir haben unseren Nutzen darin gefunden. Während meine Frau, ihrem Hobby dem Nähen, plotten etc nachgehen kann…wir über den Fernseher Serien etc streamen können und werden, leg ich meine Füsse auf der Couch hoch und zocke mit der Portal. Für zwischendurch ist sie genau richtig. Für mehrere Stunden gemeinsames zocken haben wir dann ja wieder die PS5 per TV. Am Ende des Tages muss natürlich jeder selbst entscheiden, ob die Portal das richtige für einen ist. Da die Internetverbindung immer noch hausgemacht eine Rolle spielt und die Portal in dem Umfang ihre Dienste tut, gebe ich gerne 5/5 Sternen. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, das die Portal in Zukunft mehr und mehr mit Updates gefüttert wird und es noch mehr Funktionen geben wird. Nun allen viel Spaß mit der Portal :)

Det enda problemet är att det kan ta en stund innan den lyckas väcka konsolen hemma, ett par försök och 2-3 minuter. Men sen funkar det förvånansvärt bra. Jag märker ingen skillnad när jag spelar med Portal hemma från när jag varit 20 mil hemifrån. Det är säkert en liten skillnad i latens, men inget jag märkt i de bilspel jag kört. Någon enstaka gång har upplösningen blivit sämre. Tänk Youtube med dålig uppkoppling. Ibland hackar det till något, men relativt sällsynt. Om man kommer få användning för den skulle jag säga att 2500 kr är ett kap. Bra ergonomi, bra skärm, bra ljud. Lätt att använda. Jag har förresten inte följt de inofficiella råden om att dra ur HDMI-kabeln ur konsolen och sätta output till 1080p. Portal har funkat bra för mig ändå, tack och lov. Jag har en Pro-konsol förresten.
