The PlayStation Portal is set to revolutionize gaming with the launch of its cloud streaming beta today in select countries. This exciting development allows PlayStation Plus Premium members to access a diverse selection of 120 PS5 games, including popular titles like Dave the Diver, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Monster Hunter Rise, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. While the streaming games are currently limited to PS5 titles, with PS3 and PS4 games not supported at present, it remains to be seen if this will change upon the feature's full release. Games are streamed in 1080p and 60 fps, offering a seamless gaming experience with all the features of the DualSense wireless controller, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, speakers, and the touchpad (emulated on the touch screen for PS Portal).

This latest PlayStation Portal update, set to release later today, brings several notable enhancements. The cloud streaming beta for select PS5 games is a major highlight, providing users with the opportunity to enjoy their favorite games in a new way.
