PS Portal's Major Streaming Update Now Available
The PS Portal streaming device has received a massive update rolling out globally, enabling users to stream over 2,800 games directly to the device. This feature requires a PS Plus Premium subscription.
Streaming Benefits and Requirements
With an active subscription, players can stream games directly from Sony’s servers without turning on their PS5 console. This opens new possibilities, such as:
- Playing games while someone else uses the console on a different account
- Accessing your game library from anywhere worldwide with a reliable internet connection
Note that games must be purchased outside the PS Plus Premium catalogue to be available for streaming. Fortunately, more than 2,800 titles are currently supported, covering a large portion of most collections.
Available Titles and Personal Impressions
The full list of streamable games in the US is compiled below, but even without a PS Portal, these titles can also be streamed directly to the PS5. The extensive library includes popular games such as Astro Bot and Dave the Diver, which are enjoyable on this handheld device.
Though some games like Ghost of Yotei are better experienced on a bigger screen, playing Sony's major AAA titles on the PS Portal adds versatility. The list also features Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, showing that the device has grown beyond just being a PS5 accessory.
"It means you can play your games while a friend or family member is using your console with a different account, or it means you can access your library from anywhere in the world."
Summary
This update transforms PS Portal into a powerful device capable of streaming thousands of PS5 games remotely, enhancing access and convenience for PS Plus Premium subscribers.
