Overview
- A new update lets PS Plus Premium members stream PS5 titles directly to PS Portal from PlayStation servers without needing a home console, with access to roughly 2,800 games including personal libraries.
- Sony says the feature has exited a year-long beta, enabling portable play wherever a strong internet connection is available.
- Sony reports PS Portal is now the most-used device for PS5 Remote Play and that owners are more engaged, averaging around two hours per session, with U.S. ownership estimated near 5% of PS5 users.
- Hands-on testing finds streams run up to 1080p at 60fps with a 720p fallback, and cloud saves let players pick up progress across devices.
- Reviewers note noticeable input lag during cloud streaming, making fast, twitch-based games less suitable on the handheld.
