PlayStation Portal Enhances Portable Gaming with Cloud Streaming for PS Plus Premium Users
The PlayStation Portal, designed to extend PS5 gaming on the go, has proven popular among gamers. However, its reliance on a connection to the home console wasn’t ideal for all users. Sony’s latest development addresses this limitation, potentially improving the handheld experience for many. Since its initial release in 2023, the PlayStation Portal has undergone internal changes, with Sony actively gathering user feedback to optimize the device’s functionality. After a year-long beta test, the latest update now gives PS Plus Premium subscribers the cloud streaming feature they’ve long awaited, delivering truly portable play. As of November 6th, PlayStation Portal users with a PS Plus Premium subscription can stream select PS5 games directly from the cloud. This eliminates the need to connect to a PS5 console, requiring only a stable internet connection. Notable examples include The Last of Us Part I and II, Helldivers 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Borderlands 4. A full list of available titles can be found on Sony’s website.

In addition to cloud streaming, the update enhances the Portal’s interface with an improved home screen for easier navigation. Users can also secure their devices with a password lock. Furthermore, remote play will now support 3D audio, and a network status indicator will help users monitor their connection strength for optimal performance. These updates, available since November 6th, expand the PlayStation Portal’s capabilities, offering PS Plus Premium subscribers a more independent and versatile handheld gaming experience.
