PS Portal beta update allows cloud streaming

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.”
