PS Portal's Major Update Enables Streaming of Over 2,800 PS5 Games
The PS Portal device has received a massive update rolling out worldwide, allowing users to stream more than 2,800 PlayStation 5 games directly to the handheld. This new feature requires a PS Plus Premium subscription.
With this subscription, players can access their entire game library via streaming from Sony's servers without needing to turn on their PS5 console. This expands the device's usability significantly:
- Play while someone else is using the console on a different account.
- Access your games from anywhere in the world, given a strong internet connection.
Although you must own the games outside the PS Plus Premium catalogue, the vast support for over 2,800 titles means a large portion of most collections will be covered.
Availability and Gameplay Experience
Even if you do not own a PS Portal, you can also stream these games directly to your PS5. This extensive library provides a great range of options for gamers. For example, some users are excited to replay favorites like Astro Bot and Dave the Diver on this portable device.
"And even though I think Ghost of Yotei is best on the big screen, it’s still cool to play a bit of some of Sony’s big AAA’s on this handheld."
The inclusion of titles like Shinobi: Art of Vengeance highlights that the PS Portal has evolved beyond just being a PS5 accessory.
Summary
The PS Portal's update dramatically increases its game streaming capabilities, providing flexibility and broad access to a huge selection of PS5 games anywhere with internet.
