As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say, the recent update to the PlayStation Portal has truly been a game-changer! The addition of cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus members is an exciting development that brings a new dimension to gaming on the go.
The latest update on PlayStation Portal brings long-awaited new functions, along with improvements aimed at enhancing user experience.
On the PlayStation’s Official Blog, it was announced that a long-awaited feature has finally been implemented – Cloud Streaming is now accessible via PlayStation Portal. This means that if you have an active PlayStation Plus membership, you can theoretically play games from the cloud without needing a PS5 physically.
The update (in Europe) will be rolling out today, and adds the following features:
- Speaker audio output adjustment to make the volume lower when the audio level is set to minimum
- You will now be able to adjust settings of your PlayStation Link device from the PS Portal Settings menu, allowing you to optimize the volume and sidetone volume.
It’s quite surprising that even at its lowest setting, the sound from the PlayStation Portal can be very loud with certain games, which seems somewhat unusual.
The big update, however, is the Cloud Streaming, which PlayStation says “may change over time and may not reflect the final experience”, since it’s in beta.
- Stream select PS5 games in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog
- Over 120 PS5 games from the PS Plus Game Catalog, including Dave the Diver, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Monster Hunter Rise, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will be accessible on PS Portal via cloud streaming
- Streaming up to 1080p/60fps
- DualSense wireless controller features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, speakers, touchpad (emulated on the touch screen for PS Portal), and motion sensor
- PlayStation Plus Cloud storage
- Save data and game progress can be stored up to 100GB and will be automatically synced with your PS5 console, making it easy to switch seamlessly between local and streaming gameplay, and between multiple devices.
Essentially, the key point is that the cloud streaming beta can only be accessed by Premium members of PS Plus. To use it, you’ll first need to update your Portal. After that, navigate to the quick menu, then settings on your device. From there, find the “Cloud Streaming (Beta)” option and switch it to the “on” position.
During the beta phase, some features such as Game Trials, streaming games from the store, party voice chat, creating content, 3D audio, and in-game shops won’t be available. At this point, you can only play PS5 games and unfortunately not PS4 or PS3 ones. However, it’s a significant stride towards the final product, without a doubt.
