A screen with controllers attached that only streams from your own PS5. Mocked at launch, then quietly improved by updates — one of the few devices here whose sentiment went up.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
It depends on how you will use it. 71% would buy it again, which means roughly 29% would not. Bad home Wi-Fi makes it permanently disappointing.
There's a dip as the limitations land, then a recovery — updates added capability and owners found the specific situations where it is the right device.
Bad home Wi-Fi makes it permanently disappointing. It remains an accessory to a console rather than a device in itself. Away-from-home use depends entirely on the network you find.
Worth it for: PS5 households sharing one TV; People with strong home Wi-Fi; Anyone who plays in bed or another room. Think twice if: You don't own a PS5; Your home network is unreliable; You want a handheld that plays games on its own.
