@@ted7728 yeah. Now it's buttery smooth, I even played Stellar Blade on it now. Before, I usually get network unstable notification every 10-15 mins. Now I don't anymore, even when my wife streams movies on the tv, only then I would get network unstable every once in a while. Not sure what changed?
@@haisociety2878 For remote play it has to be either on or in rest mode. Cloud streaming doesn't require a PS5 but you need a PS+ Premium subscription.
The Portal is amazing now and its worth it. Playing PS5 games on a handheld in bed or on the couch relaxing without even owning a PS5 is an amazing value proposition.
@@deadboltzz5199well it depends on many questions. Do you have a huge steam library? Pick the steam deck. If you don’t, get the Ps portal and with the Ps plus premium subscription you’ll get over 120 games via cloud which is a great deal.
This new update works so well. Some of my back logged games are finally getting attention. Now we just need a full blown handheld that doesn’t rely on internet connection 😏
I’m looking at getting one. I recently had a daughter and don’t want to blast the TV on. Can I play without having to turn on the ps5 or can I play while her and her mom use the tv?
APParently it is possible to install Android things on Portal. Have been examples of various emulators ran. So, even with its severely tight storage space, I suppose some streaming apps for various other services should be achievable at least.
@@ScrubsWasTakenactually Gcloud does not do remote play since the app hasn’t been optimized for it. Secondly the portal is using Google software ( android) which is how Google technicians told Sony it was possible to download emulators on the device itself like gta
@@Isayahcoxwhat are your guys talking about?, The G Cloud supports PSNow, which is cloud streaming as opposed to Remote play. It's better because a) you don't need a PS, and B) you can play wherever you have internet Any mobile device can do this too
there were reason why they didn’t do it. But know it’s available and we should give Sony credit for this move. Playing ps games without owning a PlayStation or Pc is very a good right step in the right direction.
At first I thought “anniversary” Portal meant your wife or girlfriend got you a Portal for your anniversary 😂 I thought that was cool But the fact that you got your hands on the 30th anniversary Portal… that’s even better
I don’t have a pS5, but I might pick up a portal today just for the cloud! UPDATE: I picked up the Portal, and all I have to say is that I am loving it! Thanks PS for this update!
@@IceBlueLugia This is what Sony want, they would rather have you pay a subscription than buy their console they make way more money from it. The portal is proving that console sales don't matter anymore and if it's successful they will have an apps on phones, TV and fire stick soon just to get people to subscribe to Premium. I wonder who had this idea?
They for sure have to unlock the cloud stream on the portal to play ALL cloud games. I'd be SO dope playing the classic ps3/2/1 games on the 30th anniversary PS Portal anywhere! Bring Vita games to PS.
There's already some classic games on the cloud streaming beta such as the timesplitter series, daxter, legacy of kain, sly cooper 1, resistance retribution, etc
Played RE Village for the first time exclusively on the portal from my ps5. 8 hours in and it handles like a champ especially after recent portal update
I've been debating back and forth about getting one recently, this makes it even more intriguing to perspective buyers, such as myself.. definitely a win for the portal
I use my PlayStation portal all the time when I travel for work, now that I can stream on it it just makes it so much better. But it's always worked out well for me. Wired connection at home + pretty good hotel wifi, never had an issue.
@BUPMY1 I played for a few hours and didn't experience any problems. I was hoping that cloud streaming would eventually be supported. Shouldn't have taken this long but I guess they needed to make sure it works properly. Because people are paying for a subscription and for the Portal. But I suppose it's the cheapest entry point into the PS5 ecosystem.
Because some people have no boundaries and/or might be mentally unstable. Substitute Jesus with Lord Saddler and you'll know what these guys are up to.
I’m not even gonna navigate to see what you’re talkin’ about. You’re the first comment that comes up, and the last one I’m gonna read. Have a good one.
I bought one a while back and honestly wasn’t happy with it but the update now makes me not regret the purchase. Still feel this should have been available at launch!
That's great, but it would be even better if the Playstation Plus cloud streaming service was available in more countries. Here in Brazil they never brought it (and we have xCloud and Geforce Now for example) so this update ends up being kind of useless for us here.
Dude, it nearly made me run out and go get one. I just got it in the mail two days ago and I’m in love with it. Can’t wait to see what they do with the product.
2 big things always choose performance over fidelity, the ps portal only outputs up to 1080p so all them 4k pixels wont even matter( more fps makes the cloud run alot better), second thing is if your wifi isnt the strongest u can also switch the streaming from 1080p to 720p if needed
I didn't get a PS portal because of its dependancy on PS5. Now it is getting closer to what I want. I want it to have storage to download games from the PSN library to play natively from the portal without the need for a PS5 nor a WiFi connection.
@@KenKaniff-dw4jw Game streaming has been around for years, Stadia worked well, but XCloud and Geforce now work well now, how are people only finding this out now?
Yeah, it also exists to scratch an itch. An EXPENSIVE itch. I once tried to stream Gamepass without a box, but then it felt pointless because im just practically renting an inferior version
The difference is PlayStation offers the console as the best place to play. Wanna play on PC? Wait for port, it might stutter. Wanna play on Handheld? Wait for catalog, it might lag. Xbox doesn't care of its consoles and playerbase. Instead they want every mom and grandma to subscribe GamePass just because they have phone.
Idk about half baked, think they planned it too match up with Black Friday deals for subscriptions so people all end up getting premium cheaper but pay normal after and forget about it
6:56 Speaking of Microsoft and Nvidia cloud streaming, would you please consider making an up-to-date video about all the different cloud streaming services that exist with a detailed comparison? I have a consistent 300 MB/s internet speed, and I was wondering how to make use of cloud gaming.
I bought one yesterday. Love it so far. I've seen a little studder in a game or two but nothing too bad. Cloud streaming works better than I thought it would. Even when I'm out and about and running off the hotspot from my phone cloud streaming works well.
I just received my 30th anniversary one and I still don't really know how useful it is. I don't have premium and I have a lot of physical games. Idk it's nice but I'll have to wait and see.
Had the portal from its release and I enjoyed it then and I enjoy it even more now. Even got the 30th anniversary edition. As many have said over the past few months the convenience of being able to play the PS5 will having the tv free for others to watch or for you to watch while gaming is awesome. The addition of cloud gaming is just more icing on the cake for me. Looking forward to the future of the device.
I understand why the Portal is designed the way it is, but if we ever get a revision that’s more akin to the PSP/Vita that also comes with internal storage, I may actually pick one up.
That wont be the case since the performance would be bad or the hardware would cost a lot more. Best examples are the Nintendo switch or steam deck. No matter which you pick you have to make compromises with either one. The Ps portal is a pretty good deal.
Once this works for all tiers of PSN, I'll be excited. One of the monthly games on offer a good few months ago, for example, was the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I'd love to be able to play something of that quality on the go; especially for those that managed to take advantage of the PlayStation Plus Collection. If the portal could play all the digital games attached to a user's account, regardless of tier, via Cloud Gaming, the portal would be an instant purchase for me. As it stands right now? It's improved, but still lacking.
I got the 30th anniversary ed, and it works ok for the price. But text in games can be really difficult to read, I use my phone camera to magnify it. I wish there was an hdmi output to connect a bigger display, or at least a zoom function like on ps5.
I was going to Best Buy today (24/11) to return my PS5 Portal, the last calendar date to return said device. However, after learning about the update and trying it out, I decided to keep it. I agree with the reviewer, this seems to be a sign that Sony will invest in this division/product.
Do you get to stream any of those games in the service, Or do you have to own each game and you get the option to stream it provided streaming is available for that game.
I’m so glad i ordered the 30th edition one when it released. I had heard so many mixed reviews on it but though eh what the hell at least it will look nice 😅
OK, this is coming from a 50 year old guy who still thinks he’s 25 and likes the game. I had a Nintendo switch before owning the PS portal. It was the best thing I did trading in the Nintendo switch with all the extras and a couple of games to get the PS portal solely because of cloud gaming. This is such a great thing. I’ve been a loyal Sony person until only the Nintendo switch from what I understand the next handheld is supposed to have enough power to run all PlayStation four and five games natively.
Well they're moving towards the right direction, but I think we're going to see (as mentioned) a PS6 and a companion device that can do all of this and have native games (physical & digital).
There are two issues with this though. One of them you mentioned, you need PS Plus Premium. The other is that you need a digital library. This won’t cloud stream your physical collection.
@@Shadowespeon17If you like buy the ps plus preiium on an account made from sony, you can easily connect it to that account and play games. and if you later buy a ps5 or ps6 when it comes out your save data will be saved. Who knows maybe playstation bring pc, xbox streaming options too
Playstation NoW has allowd you to steam your physical games for 10 years. Do you not have a Playstation? Thats literally what the Portal is for, streaming your physical games.
So I’ve not got one and just looking into it, so initially to be able to have a hand held version in the house would be ideal for me as I’m lately more likely to pick up a handheld than switch on my PS5, at least it means I would get use of my games. Question 1. Am I right in thinking that if I have a mix of disc based and downloaded games I could play any of the downloaded ones and then whatever game I have inserted on disc? 2. Since this upgrade then have they allowed remote access for your ps5 so that I can access my console from any WiFi network or could I also utilise my phones ability to be a hotspot to gain access out and about anywhere even if my phones is using 5G or is remote play restricted to cloud streaming with a Sony cloud stream account? What would be nice is if when you purchase a disc based game you were also aloud to own and download it digitally thus removing the need for swapping discs, yes the answer would be to buy a digital only edition where this would be the case I suppose
I still don’t understand it. Do I get to use it outside my home like on the go? Or do I need to be within my house on the same WiFi as my PS to use it?
You can use it on the go but you have to be connected to WiFi so your results outside of your own internet will vary. You also need a PS plus premium subscription and the games you can play are limited.
@@fleejuuheard6904well, I do not think that will be much different in the future. However, games you bought digitally will be able to play via cloud gaming at some point.
it’s fking awesome. Don’t know why people complain about it, Had mine for 2 weeks and just finished uncharted 4, I had 1 glitch for about 2sec and that’s it the entire game, and I’m not on the fastest nbn plan. Find myself playing more now when chilling and have the tv or movie on in the background.

So I’ve not got one and just looking into it, so initially to be able to have a hand held version in the house would be ideal for me as I’m lately more likely to pick up a handheld than switch on my PS5, at least it means I would get use of my games. Question 1. Am I right in thinking that if I have a mix of disc based and downloaded games I could play any of the downloaded ones and then whatever game I have inserted on disc? 2. Since this upgrade then have they allowed remote access for your ps5 so that I can access my console from any WiFi network or could I also utilise my phones ability to be a hotspot to gain access out and about anywhere even if my phones is using 5G or is remote play restricted to cloud streaming with a Sony cloud stream account? What would be nice is if when you purchase a disc based game you were also aloud to own and download it digitally thus removing the need for swapping discs, yes the answer would be to buy a digital only edition where this would be the case I suppose
Wait...the portal has been out for a year now?! Why do I feel like it came out last week...
Same. 😂
I wouldn't mind trying it out now. Seems more worth it
I still don’t understand it. Do I get to use it outside my home like on the go? Or do I need to be within my house on the same WiFi as my PS to use it?
You can use it on the go but you have to be connected to WiFi so your results outside of your own internet will vary. You also need a PS plus premium subscription and the games you can play are limited.
@ ahhh ok thanks 👍🏻
Okay okay okay baby steps… this sounds pretty tempting. Now if they’d just lower the price on the ps premium , I’d look into getting one.
Get it now for$112 for black Fri.
Looks like I'm buying this for xmas
I just got the 30th anniversary edition Playstation Portal and I'm really hoping they bring cloud gaming you Australia.
So you don’t have to have your ps5 on or in sleep mode?
You should be able to stream any game you own on it
It doesn’t stream your collection though. It streams from the cloud but not from yours. It’s still great.
They’re working on it. Companies have to change their EULA to allow cloud streaming.
It's Beta, duh.
@@soldier09ryea I’m getting tired of having to change the disc on my ps5 disc version just to play the portal that’s the only corny part about it
@@fleejuuheard6904well, I do not think that will be much different in the future. However, games you bought digitally will be able to play via cloud gaming at some point.
it’s fking awesome. Don’t know why people complain about it, Had mine for 2 weeks and just finished uncharted 4, I had 1 glitch for about 2sec and that’s it the entire game, and I’m not on the fastest nbn plan. Find myself playing more now when chilling and have the tv or movie on in the background.
I bought one today for this
Sony, you had my curiosity, now you have attention
The games run at 1080p 60 fps but I seen you can bump some games down to 720p to make it run smoother
Imagine if they allow us to play PSP and PSV games without internet connection on it!
Legit picking one up tonight by after work lol
Hey, I wonder do you get achievements/trophys during cloud streaming via PS Portal?
Any good turn based recommendations from the available list?
Can I play my ps4 games on a playstation portal ?
Bro, this is a stepping stone. They are going to gradually push more and more slowly but surely. You gotta walk before you can run, right?
Do you happen to know what games you can stream? Maybe you could provide a list of cloud-only games for the system.
