This update also fixes the micro stutter that the Portal suffered from until now. That's honestly the biggest thing for me, it ruined 60fps games for me before, but now it's fixed and I can enjoy so many more titles. Cloud streaming works well, I'm looking forward to the options to be improved for sorting etc, and PS4 games, of course, when it eventually leaves beta. But it works really well for me, and the stream quality looks a little better on the smaller screen. Also, this is an Android PS Plus streaming app, so I think other devices are on the roadmap, phones, tablets etc.
Agreed - eliminating the micro stutter just makes the device feel 10x better to play any game. It was the biggest improvement in this patch and they never advertised it.
@jamespalmer421 I think they probably don't like the idea of saying it previously had a major flaw (for some of us at least). But I'm glad they fixed it at last. I didn't really expect them to, but I'm glad to be wrong.
This is the 1 thing EVERYONE has been asking since the beginning. Finally, we got it. Now i can play PS5 and PS4 on a Portal on my bed streaming through any game on PS+ while my brother uses the main PS5 on the TV. Having to wait till my brother finishes using the PS5 for me to play on the Portal downstairs was such a hassle. Wonder if there will be any Black Friday deals on the Portal, now is the best time to get one if anyone was waiting.
FYI this update has also fixed the 59.94/60hz mismatch between remote play streaming and the portal screen. Which has completely removed the very anoying microstutter you would get in all games!
@ Perhaps Google it or do some research yourself before dismissing my comment and suggesting something completely different with zero proof or reasoning? Every portal had microstutter. Perhaps you just didn’t notice it. Are you the type of person who is fine watching 24hz movies on a 60hz panel too? 🙈
Yes Sony did know what they were doing right before Christmas, releasing the same PS5 with an slightly upgraded GPU, minus the disc drive and the stand for $200.00 more than the original and releasing a streaming app that will sell Portals and also cost you $160.00 a year, my goodness Americans have gotten dumb these days.
I ordered the anniversary edition about 4 days ago before the update became news, and Im so lucky! It arrived today but now I checked the stock all around my area and they are all gone! Really lucky I got it before this update was released, but also seems like I got it at the perfect time too! Really excited to start playing!
@@robertking7465i havent seen anything. but you could always get an open box from best buy. although i tried that yesterday and they gave me a brand new one without me realizing lmao 😭
This was a very unexpected update and finally makes me feel better about my premium subscription. I play over here stationed in Italy where the internet throughout the house isn't amazing, but it works really well (no stutters, but the video does some weird stuff sometimes). Really enjoying it!
I heard the latency is actually very good from other reviewers. I haven’t tried it myself, I’m waiting on my 30th anniversary portal to come in the mail tomorrow.
Just did a quick test myself. I was actually pretty impressed running on home Wi-Fi it ran buttery smooth just like it normally would if I was connected to my PS5. On mobile just testing at the house, I couldn't even get it to load a game. I was on 4G with about three bars, so it wasn't expecting much. Would love to see them updated eventually with access to PS3 streaming. I would much rather have them be working on a PS3 emulator especially with a success they've had with their emulation on PS5.
I still don't understand, why Sony didn't add support to stream directly from the console, when playing at home. Just like the Wii U did, to the gamepad, with no input delay.
@ I used the hotspot the work computer has since there’s no router in my work area. It’s not as good as my mobile hotspot that for the life of me can’t use with the Portal. Having said that I did see some lag, nothing bad. Game ran great. I did get some hiccups but other than that I was able to grab two trophies and check out other games.
@ for some odd reason I can’t connect the Portal to my hotspot. I have a iPhone 14 Pro and for some reason the only device I can’t connect is the Portal.
I upgraded to Premium the minute i updated. Works amazingly. I did have trouble getting into games at times but after a few tries got in. This just made the Portal so much better. Just hope we can play our own digital games and PS4 games in the future.
See I find that surprising given the propensity of Azure. But both services are Beta so room for improvement. Honestly I think the underlying internet infrastructure just needs to be better in the West. In Japan I bet this is awesome and is close to native.
A little tip, When in the game catalogue on the PS5 console set the filter list to A - Z . This allows the complete list of games to be viewed when looking at the cloud game catalogue. (at the moment you cant change the filter list on the portal)
The PS Portal has been my favorite thing about my PS5! I can literally go out of town and still play my PS5 without having to drag the system and a TV/monitor everywhere I go. I've tried the cloud streaming, too, and absolutely love it! It works much better than streaming the console, so if I plan to play one of those games on my Portal, I just stream it instead. I hope they add even more games to it soon!
Wow man I just got mine last night I didn't do much in the settings but we can now do this without the console that's badass, can't wait to try at home & setup the proper resolution as well
I've been waiting quite some time for this update. My only hope, though unlikely for now, is that Sony will support purchased games and DLC on top of the games included in their subscription catalogue. I owned a PS5 but had to sell it because I move around the world a lot. Being able to access my games library with Premium would make the Portal an instant buy for me.,
Loving the the update it says a lot for the future of this device only thing I can say and it’s super small but when turning off light bar and mute button brightness to just save all battery they should add a icon that says your mic is muted
I played Timesplitters Future Perfect and no lag or anything - it was great to be able to jump into a game without having my PS5 on and then connecting the Portal which from my experience can be a coin toss as to whether it works first time or not....
Well, get PS+ Premium and you’ll have thousands of games to play via streaming on PC, TV’s, the Portal, (I don’t think the game streaming is available on phones) all for just $10 a month.
To me the Portal was a great investment. As a married man whi shares couch time with the wife, It definitely allowed me to play my PS5 a lot more. Before the portal, i would mostly stick with the Switch. I love the PSPortal! Also, i was able to get the 30th Anniversary edition! Now i have 2 lol
Honestly the biggest pro to this for me is that i wont have to keep installing uninstalling games on ps5 to be able to play on portal. Because currently portal needs games to be locally installed on ps5 to work
I still wouldn't recommend using a Portal without owning a PS5 because you're still losing the main feature and the cloud library is still tiny right now, but this at least adds something for existing owners.
This is exactly what I needed to see. I’m gonna be gone a week over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I’m considering this as I have a portal. If the latency is decent. I might go for it.
Quick jump into Plucky squire and mortal combat and latency was minimal. I will be visiting my father to help move furniture this weekend and plan on using it for a few hours. Remnants 2 is available so will try the newer dlc. Quite a few good titles available tbh.

Portal is now officially a standalone handheld gaming console.
I tried it in my house, I have impeccable wifi so either way it came out pretty good. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 (10 being the best). The ultimate test is testing it in a public setting (Starbucks, Deli, etc). I have not tried it so I cannot give my opinion when it comes to public wifi but will test soon. Anyway, in my house it's golden! Not bad at all for a beta 👌🏽 All Sony has to do is master this cloud thing, and they'll have it in the bag! I like the fact you still NEED a Playstation product to access PS Plus bc not everything is a PS5....
@yomamasohot6411 with all due respect, idc about pc nor do I own one or want one for gaming. I'm a gamer, not a pc tinkerer. there's a huge difference.
Since you can only stream ps5 games this shouldn't be locked behind the premium, you should only need the essential subscription. If they change that in the future I will get my hands on one
@@bigmac375 Being able to add PS Portal ONLY Cloud streaming to the essential subscription woud be nice too. If they make it more accessible the ps portal will become more like a handheld than rather a ps5 accessory
Even when connected from my bedroom the portal connection is not as good with a lot of lag when streaming from PlayStation. Is it due to my ps5 be connected by WiFi ?
Yes you need to do the BBC in the sky like a broadcast tower when playing with the portal for better reception. It is also best not to cover up the BBC, as this will result in poorer reception on the portal.
How did the Portal ever sell a single unit is unbelievable. All kinds of handhelds that offered much more were already available and of course the awesome chiaki that's a light year difference in functionality.
I think there is a good reason why the latency is heightened. It makes sense that there will be more traffic between the data centers that are rendering your game and your portal than your PS5 and your portal.
Its crazy because from my experience, Using PS now, Xcloud and stadia, Stadia was the best latency wise. Also was the best place to play cyberpunk on launch. Second was Xcloud via my phone or laptop, then last was PS now on my PS5
Why is everyone hyped? This is still so bad🤣 i rather put my ps5 in standby mode instead of paying the double for that each year. The worst thing is that it still has latency issues
@PaulDowneyMusic In theory, yes. It's currently still in beta and you do need to manually opt-in to it though as shown in the video, but from the look of things it seems like all you would need is a PSN account with PlayStation Plus Premium, a PlayStation Portal, a strong internet connection, and voila! You're playing PS5 games
Of course it's just PS premium streaming that should've been there from the start, and not your entire digital library streaming if you are subbed to essential. Yeah, no thanks.
I wish I had been paying attention and knew this update was coming. I just traded my Portal in with my base PS5 to cut down the cost of my Pro. Honestly, I was never really impressed by it but now that it can be used untethered it probably would have been worth keeping around.

I find the timing of this particularly strange. Because Microsoft just announced streaming games you own. I guess it's a holiday season competition.
I don't think Sony particularly cares about what MS does. They certainly care about getting it out before the holiday season
I don't like current Sony but this actually makes this device worth it now. If they put stellar blade in the library before the PC release, I'll buy one.
Portal is now officially a standalone handheld gaming console.
Already such an overlooked and underrated device. Now its actually best in class.
Glad I got the PS portal on release
Now all the haters are gonna be buying from scalpers haha
I knew this feature was coming. Glad to see it in beta.
I tried it in my house, I have impeccable wifi so either way it came out pretty good. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 (10 being the best). The ultimate test is testing it in a public setting (Starbucks, Deli, etc). I have not tried it so I cannot give my opinion when it comes to public wifi but will test soon. Anyway, in my house it's golden! Not bad at all for a beta 👌🏽 All Sony has to do is master this cloud thing, and they'll have it in the bag! I like the fact you still NEED a Playstation product to access PS Plus bc not everything is a PS5....
Pretty sure cloud streaming works on a PC(PS+ Premium)
@yomamasohot6411 with all due respect, idc about pc nor do I own one or want one for gaming. I'm a gamer, not a pc tinkerer. there's a huge difference.
Crazy this is so gooood in only the beta version 😮
Since you can only stream ps5 games this shouldn't be locked behind the premium, you should only need the essential subscription. If they change that in the future I will get my hands on one
That doesn't make any sense.
Just get premium.
I think you point out a good problem: there needs to be a streaming only tier that is cheaper
@@bigmac375 Being able to add PS Portal ONLY Cloud streaming to the essential subscription woud be nice too. If they make it more accessible the ps portal will become more like a handheld than rather a ps5 accessory
Even when connected from my bedroom the portal connection is not as good with a lot of lag when streaming from PlayStation. Is it due to my ps5 be connected by WiFi ?
Yes you need to do the BBC in the sky like a broadcast tower when playing with the portal for better reception. It is also best not to cover up the BBC, as this will result in poorer reception on the portal.
This should've been a day 1 feature tbh...
Better late than never also its still a work in progress
I've already tested.
That's better than my expectations🎉
Nice
How did the Portal ever sell a single unit is unbelievable.
All kinds of handhelds that offered much more were already available and of course the awesome chiaki that's a light year difference in functionality.
Ahh a subscription no thanks
I think there is a good reason why the latency is heightened. It makes sense that there will be more traffic between the data centers that are rendering your game and your portal than your PS5 and your portal.
...as Stadia cries 😅
Its crazy because from my experience, Using PS now, Xcloud and stadia, Stadia was the best latency wise. Also was the best place to play cyberpunk on launch. Second was Xcloud via my phone or laptop, then last was PS now on my PS5
Cloud streaming is not available in my country. Is there a way to access it?
Why is everyone hyped? This is still so bad🤣 i rather put my ps5 in standby mode instead of paying the double for that each year. The worst thing is that it still has latency issues
Will we get a more in-depth testing video on the cloud streaming and how it looks and works later??
I personally hate cloud streaming and I think that it shouldn't even exist
Same here man, hopefully it isn’t the future
Dayum, a very strong opinion
That seems a bit harsh?
Also single player games that require to be always online. Shouldn't exist
@@CraigSteelyardsteam legalized always online and destroyed physical media, steam should never exist
It is cool to see streaming on the PlayStation Portal without having to be tethered to a PS5, I think that that'll help out the PS Portal immensely
Does this mean that I, someone who doesn't own a PS5 yet, can just buy this and purchase a membership to the streaming service?
@PaulDowneyMusic In theory, yes. It's currently still in beta and you do need to manually opt-in to it though as shown in the video, but from the look of things it seems like all you would need is a PSN account with PlayStation Plus Premium, a PlayStation Portal, a strong internet connection, and voila! You're playing PS5 games
We done with PlayStation
Portal is looking better and better... So tempted
Of course it's just PS premium streaming that should've been there from the start, and not your entire digital library streaming if you are subbed to essential. Yeah, no thanks.
will they release every game (like all of them) to play on cloud streaming in the future?
Mystic up at 4am playing games, that can't be healthy
ABOUT TIME!!!! HALLELUYERRR!!!
Now We Need PS VR2 Cloud Streaming Too. That's will make your gadget sale more than must buy the main console Ps5
Changes everything. I’ll buy one now
This might be a dumb question, but do trophies still pop when you are cloud streaming?
Of course
I wish I had been paying attention and knew this update was coming. I just traded my Portal in with my base PS5 to cut down the cost of my Pro. Honestly, I was never really impressed by it but now that it can be used untethered it probably would have been worth keeping around.
