The PS Portal’s major update is now reaching users globally, enabling streaming of more than 2,800 PlayStation 5 games directly to the handheld device.
To use this feature, players need an active PS Plus Premium subscription. Once subscribed, users can stream games from Sony’s servers without turning on their console. This brings flexibility—allowing gaming even when someone else is using the PS5 under another account, or when playing remotely with a stable internet connection.
Though only games purchased or available in the PS Plus Premium catalog are supported, the sheer number of titles—over 2,800—makes most users’ libraries compatible. The update effectively turns the PS Portal into a portable window into the PS5 ecosystem.
“You can play your games while a friend or family member is using your console with a different account, or access your library from anywhere in the world,” the announcement highlights.
Even without owning a PS Portal, players can stream the supported games directly on their PS5. This expanded reach makes the update particularly significant for PlayStation players seeking more flexibility in how and where they play.
Some players expressed excitement about revisiting titles like Astro Bot and Dave the Diver on the handheld, while others mentioned large-screen favorites such as Ghost of Yotei and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance as being surprisingly enjoyable on the smaller device.
Author’s summary: The PS Portal’s global update transforms it into a fully functional streaming hub for over 2,800 PS5 games, offering broader flexibility and access for members of PS Plus Premium.
