Leak Hints PlayStation Portal May Stream Purchased PS Store Games Without a PS5

Unverified PS App wording on multiple game pages points to cloud streaming of owned titles for PS Plus Premium members, with no confirmation from Sony.

Overview

  • Screenshots circulating on Reddit show PS Store text reading, “Pre-order to stream and play instantly at release on PS Portal or PS5 (only with PS Plus Premium).”
  • The images, shared by Reddit user GetTheWetsOn, appeared on pages for Deliver At All Costs and The Outer Worlds 2, with a similar note reportedly removed from the Dead Space remake listing.
  • Push Square and Wccftech reported on the screenshots, noting they could not consistently replicate the wording and that Sony has not announced any such feature.
  • The phrasing suggests Premium subscribers could stream purchased or pre-ordered games directly to a Portal, potentially without turning on a home PS5, which would expand current cloud options.
  • Today, Portal users can stream select PS5 titles and games from the PS Plus Game Catalogue, and outlets describe Sony’s approach as a steady iteration; Push Square estimates about 5% of the US PS5 base owns a Portal, an outlet estimate rather than official data.
