Unlock the Potential of Your PlayStation Portal

How the Latest Update Transforms the PlayStation Portal

The latest update for Sony's PlayStation Portal is a game-changer. Starting today, PS Plus subscribers can stream some PS5 games through the cloud directly on their PS Portal, eliminating the need for a console. This opens up a whole new world of gaming possibilities. Imagine being able to play your favorite PS5 games while on the go, as long as you have a stable wifi connection. It's a revolutionary step forward for portable gaming.

With over 120 PS5 games included in the PS Plus Game Catalog now available for streaming on the PS Portal, gamers have a vast selection to choose from. Games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Monster Hunter Rise, Ghost of Tsushima, and Dave the Diver are now at their fingertips. This expands the utility of the PS Portal beyond just being an accessory and makes it a true gaming device.

Steps to Start Streaming Cloud Games on Your PS Portal

If you want to start streaming PS5 games on your PS Portal without a console, it's a simple process. First, you'll need an active PS Plus Premium subscription. Then, download the update and follow these steps: Open the "Quick Menu" and access "Settings" on your PS Portal. Select the "Cloud Streaming (Beta)" button and switch the Cloud Streaming (Beta) toggle on (it will be off by default). This allows you to begin enjoying cloud-streamed games on your portable device.

It's important to note that currently, this is a beta test, and not all features like the capture button and party chat are supported in these streaming games on the Portal. Additionally, Sony does not currently support PS2, PS3, or PS4 games or purchased PSN games. However, with further testing and updates, there is hope that support will expand, turning the PS Portal into a powerful streaming device capable of playing all the classic games added to the catalog each month, as well as the games you own.
