The PlayStation Portal got a huge update that unshackles it from your PS5. Here's how you can cloud stream PS5 games on your PlayStation Portal without a PS5.
The PlayStation Portal wasn't what most people wanted in a new PlayStation handheld. However, it did what it was intended to do very well as an accessory and most people who purchased one ended up enjoying the convenience of streaming your console games to the portable screen. Still, most fans still dreamed of a fully dedicated handheld. While we don't quite have that yet, this new PlayStation Portal feature brings us closer than ever.
Recommended Videos Difficulty Easy Duration 5 minutes What You Need How to stream PS5 games from the cloud on PlayStation PortalThanks to an update, the PlayStation Portal can now stream certain PS5 games directly through the cloud — no PS5 required. That means you don't have to own, or even be near, a PS5 to play some of the best PS5 games. Here's how to get it working.Related Step 3: Select the Cloud Streaming option.
Because this is a beta, there are some limitations. First, you will need a PS+ Premium subscription and high-speed internet connection for streaming to work. Second is that not every game on Premium is available to cloud stream. Only a select group of around 120 PS5 games are available, with no PS4 or PS3 games on the service. You also cannot access game trials or use some feature such as party chat and game invites as of now.
We expect more games and features to be added as the beta continues and is eventually released in its final form.
