PS Portal’s Major Update Enables Streaming of 2,800+ Games
The PS Portal streaming device is receiving a significant update worldwide, allowing users to stream over 2,800 games directly to it. This feature requires a PS Plus Premium subscription, granting subscribers access to a vast game library streamed straight from Sony’s servers without needing to power on their PS5 console.
New Opportunities for PS Portal Users
This update expands the accessory’s versatility, enabling gameplay while someone else uses the PS5 with a different account. Additionally, it lets users access their game libraries from anywhere globally, provided they have a strong internet connection.
Game Library and Accessibility
Players must have purchased games outside the PS Plus Premium service, but with thousands of supported titles, many popular games are included. Even those without a PS Portal device can stream these games directly on their PS5.
User Impressions
"That’s a huge amount of titles. I own just a few, but I can’t wait to play Astro Bot and Dave the Diver again on this handheld. And even though I think Ghost of Yotei is best on the big screen, it’s still cool to play some of Sony’s big AAA’s on this handheld."
"Oh, and I see Shinobi: Art of Vengeance in the list. It’s not just a PS5 accessory anymore."
This update marks a shift for PS Portal, enhancing its role from a simple accessory to a versatile gaming device with a broad streaming catalog.
Summary: PS Portal’s update now supports streaming over 2,800 PS5 games directly via PS Plus Premium, offering unprecedented flexibility to play anywhere without turning on the console.
