PlayStation Portal: Cloud Streaming Arrives Tomorrow

PlayStation Portal, the device that allows you to play PlayStation 5 titles via remote play, is about to receive an important update: starting tomorrow, November 6, cloud streaming will be implemented. This new functionality was introduced experimentally a year ago, in beta; to access it, you must be subscribed to the PlayStation Plus Premium service.

Portal: What Changes with Streaming 

To function, PlayStation Portal requires data to be sent from a PlayStation 5: this obviously implies that the PS5 must be able to transmit data, meaning it must be on or in standby. Cloud streaming allows you to overcome this limitation: thanks to it, you can use Portal even with the console turned off or used with a different account. In other words, playing with Portal will be easier, especially if you are away from home.

You can use PlayStation Portal's cloud streaming with compatible titles: you can find the complete list on the PlayStation website (which lists a whopping 2,799 available games!).
