The PlayStation Portal was a confusing device to many. The handheld was primarily designed to be a companion to the PS5's in-home streaming feature, allowing you to play your console in any room of the house and freeing up the TV for others to use. Now, the Portal is about to get a crucial upgrade enabling proper cloud gaming.
The latest update for the PlayStation Portal has been detailed. The headlining feature is the introduction of the Cloud Streaming feature, allowing PlayStation Plus premium members to stream games to the Portal from the cloud, with no need for an in-home console. The Portal will be able to access the full PS+ cloud library, which includes select PS5 titles, along with a slew of back-catalogue games from previous generations.
The PlayStation Portal now has quality of life updates for other features. Users can now record gameplay clips from the Portal, queue and pause features have been added to help manage demand on the cloud game servers, and a new user-feedback screen has been added so users can give feedback on their experience with the Portal directly to Sony, which will aid them in planning future updates.
The PlayStation Portal is available for £199.
