PS Portal beta update allows cloud streaming – WGB

Must Read


The PS Portal has proven to be a surprisingly solid device that is selling very well, and now a new update is set to make the handheld even better, allowing cloud streaming.

The new update will go live worldwide over the next 24-hours, promising gamers the ability to stream “over 120 PS5 games” at up to 1080p and 60FPS. Games available include Dave the Diver, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. PS4 and PS3 games are not currently supported in the beta.

However, not everyone will be able to use the feature as Sony has opted to limit it to PS Plus Premium subscribers. The feature will be available in any country where PS Plus Premium can be found, and to activate it you’ll need to head into the settings and turn on “Cloud Streaming (beta)”. Once that’s turned on, a new option should pop up on the PS Portal’s home screen that will take you to all of the supported titles.

It should be noted that you can stream PS5 games without needing a console at home, meaning the PS Portal can essentially be used as a completely stand-alone handheld gaming device. It isn’t quite a PSP successor, but it’s probably as close as we will get for a while.

“This update will also include a beta version of a new feature that many fans have been asking for – support for cloud streaming on PS Portal.” says the official blog post. “When the update is live, PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to participate in a beta for cloud streaming on PS Portal, allowing select PS5 games in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog* to be streamed directly from our servers, even without a PS5 console.”

If you want to give streaming a whirl, Sony says you’ll need a 7Mbps connection for 720p, and 13Mbps for 1080p.
