The PS Portal has taken a significant leap by now allowing users to stream over 200 games directly, and it doesn’t even require a PS5 to do so. This move brings it tantalizingly close to being a standalone handheld device. Currently, PS Portal’s cloud streaming feature is available in beta for PS Plus Premium members. While Sony hasn’t pinpointed a specific date for the full launch, this beta version already offers a surprisingly solid performance.
### Games You Can Stream on PS Portal
Sony hasn’t been particularly proactive in notifying players about updates to the game catalog, leaving PS Portal users to take the reins. These savvy gamers have been actively compiling a comprehensive list of compatible titles. As referenced by a dedicated community on Reddit, the list already features over 212 games, and Sony is steadily expanding this collection.
It’s important to note that cloud streaming is available only in certain regions. In places like Australia, where internet infrastructure may not meet Sony’s standards for cloud streaming, players have access to PS Plus Deluxe instead of Premium.
For those eager to keep up with the ever-expanding lineup, there’s a marvelous fan-run website, PSPortal.games, which lets users filter games by their country’s availability. Additionally, you can subscribe to notifications to find out when new titles become available for streaming.
Here’s hoping we’ll see a fully independent PlayStation handheld in the next generation!
