Saw this update on google as soon as I woke up and immediately updated. I took it to work with me and played it on lunch and with my phones hotspot it worked flawlessly
Oh you know it😂. But hey I don’t blame them. I feel like once they add offline gaming and you can download your games to the portal, it would be great. A small stepc, which honestly should have been done from jump but we all know Sony lol
Imagine when they update this with ps4 and ps3 games on it. You know its gonna eventually happen too. This device actually has potential to dominate the handheld market now
Itd be awesome if they have a limited selection of streaming games on the 'Extra' tier so more people who have the portal can enjoy and dip their feet into streaming.
This is great news. I've just bought this today for my son for Christmas. I didn't know they were putting out a new update today so he can play games without he's ps5. I thought he would only be able to play this with his ps5 in standby mode . He's had his ps5 for ages and as a premium account . So he will be made up Christmas day . Thanks for a great review 👍🏻
Dude! Literally the same. I actually found a buyer and was supposed to meet up the next day and then I saw the announcement. I hated to back out like that but dude totally understood
This is huge. Added so much and more the experience streaming feels pretty much native. Loving it so far. Cant wait to see them integrate the full experience.
@tyleredmundson3494 what are you talking about? Mine plays every game great whether it's remote play or cloud streaming, you haven't got a bloody clue what your talking about
I got my first Playstation Portal today. I got the 30th anniversary edition and it's amazing. Hopefully the will release Playstation cloud gaming in Australia soon.
Just curious: What is the benefit streaming over the cloud if you already have a PS5? Why not just stream your own games from your personal console? I've been on PS5 for a while and will be interested in getting a portal next year.
I called it bro 🤣. I be knowing stuff (sometimes) lol...it was actually some insider information I had but just disguised it as if I didn't know....but shhhhh don't tell nobody.
This is pretty damng great news. Made me order it today. Thanks for the update. Been on the fence for this one for a while but now this is the reason for me to get it for sure.
I don’t even own a PS5 and I bought a Portal just because of this update. *It’s actually dope!* I don’t want to be THAT guy, but I wouldn’t call it a standalone console/handheld now. You still need internet AND a premium subscription just to play games. It’s a big step forward, but still far from being worthy of the PSP name IMO
@@geelemothere are already PC handhelds that can run PS5 games (not at 4K 120, but a solid 1080p) I’m not saying the Portal should run full PS5 graphics, I’m just saying that it’s a stretch to call it a “standalone” device when it literally *can not standalone.* Without internet all the time and subscription it can’t do anything. 🤷🏽♂️
@@geelemothat’s definitely a dope setup and I bought a Portal today for that reason. BUT that just shows how it’s not a standalone device. It’s still just a streaming device but not you can pay to stream from “Sony’s PS5” instead of 😊yours
I appreciate the insight. Tested out the cloud streaming off of mobile phone hotspot at the airport. Flawless and lag free. Tested on airport wifi and work wifi. Both also no issues or lags. Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman Miles.
Bro i was lowkey waiting for your response on this lol Cause i also was vouching for this incredible device. I aint getting no backbone cuz im dont want hella notifications popping up while im gaming. Plus that Dualsense feel is just incredible on that Spiderman Shell 💪🏾
In my humble opinion the only W I see here is for Sony for forcing you to buy the premium plan to be able to play the games. Sony ain’t stupid they figure out how to make more money.
How are they “forcing” you to get the premium plan to play games? They aren’t getting rid of remote play. Just buy the dang game and stream it from your PlayStation.
How’s the input lag?? I play mainly fighting games so delay might be an issue and is the only thing i’m concerned about... and i’m considering buying one for black friday
I absolutely love mine, being a father of 2 it’s been a solid option for me. This is a quality update! Those accessories are dope man, I need to get myself some
I'm in South Africa here, love your videos bro🤙🏾. Anyway my region don't have the PS Plus premium 😭 we're stuck with the Deluxe without cloud streaming... this is a big W though. Cheap way of owning a ps5
Literally my wife just got it for my birthday. About to update now. Thanks for the info. I played on it once and wasn’t too satisfied so it’s been collecting dust for about a week.
Got the PS5 in March and Portal in May after much consideration (Switch, Steam Deck). I don’t have my PS5 hard wired currently so was always iffy about using the Portal away. I tried it and it worked ok but dropped connection frequently. I upgraded immediately to Premium after this update. Tried it out for a few hours last night. It was a great experience. There were some occasions cloud would not connect but this is a game changer for me. Syncs flawlessly with games i own also on the cloud. Can’t wait for the game library to expand.
I actually haven't played my portal in months but was not willing to get rid of it because I figured playstation had something up their sleeves and BOY DID THEY!! I'm happy AF right now! 😂
My question is can you download the games you already own from your account and play them without a ps5 and without a psplus plan? No longer have a ps5 but have games in my catalog I'd like to play on the go.
My wife got me the portal month ago and I've been loving it being a mew dad. The portal was exactly what I needed to be able to play and now it just got even better!!
I have a Rog Ally extreme with remote play and the portal this was a great update bc it plays smoother than remote play and you get the best controller on the market to play all in a handheld. I only use the Ally for pc games that are not on the Ps5.
I feel like 90% of us actually asked for more like a ps vita device not a streaming device but this does make it a lot more appealing. Also I think we got it because sony knows microsoft is about to release something identical to it next year and they wanted a 1 year headstart which is understandable
I'm never going to pay for that overpriced premium subscription they must be out of their minds. I don't care if I could stream games that's way overpriced.
That subscription is overpriced, and I'm not cheap, I did get the pro, but I use my Legion to remote play and the Legion is very strong when remotely playing games
What Sony did for the Play Station Portal is nice & all but I want more of a true handheld. Having the ability to use cartridges & a memory card slot would be nice that way I can download games to my handheld & not always have to be online for it to work
Would be nice but PlayStation want more subscribers to PS plus premium...what I wish they did is let us play purchased games on the portal using ps plus premium
@@GlitchyGokuBlack I got the portal strictly for remote play...so adding cloud is an insane addition for me...and it's only in its beta phase so it will get better with more content...$200 well spent for me
I tested streaming via portal using cloud streaming. Then opened a game on the PS5, same account. It kicked me out of portal cloud game saying you opened a game on the console. Had game open in console, switched to portal and it said in portal hey we can close the game to cloud streaming here. Haven’t tried separate accounts ywt
Definitely an improvement, however we should not have had to pay extra for this. Also for those of us who can not get fibre optic it’s painful 😢. I do look forward to playing stand-alone, away from the PS5. Flow
About WiFi on PlayStation PRO you was WRONG! Go on your network and push small button in middle of controller beside ⬜ square and triangle so you have options 5-6 G or automatic, your is automatically and that's problem 🙂
Great now Sony should release an app like Xbox did not force you to buy a $200. handheld on top of the top tier subscription to play the games. It's cool that you can buy this and start playing some PS5 games, but give us an app! Also, the"hate" if you wanna call it that was warranted. Don't buy something for what it could be but for what it is now. The Portal was a $200. remote play app. Everything the portal can do is still possible on a phone or pc because they could just make an app!
WE DID IT SQUAD! We FINALLY got the PS Handheld we've been wanting! I want all the haters to pull up 🤣. Let me know how y'all feeling?
I'm loving it! The streaming is running better than mine ever did with remote play!
Bruh its so cool! Screen size is perfect and it looks and runs so nice!
Do you know if you can set this up without needing a ps5 for the first time as looking to buy one but don’t have a ps5
thats wasssup so glad u put us up on game,standalone w/o even having to have a PS5 is CLUTCH!!!!

Im so hyped!!!!
It’s definitely worth buying now
@beyondcompare9526 hell yeah!
I nutted so hard on this update
Updated mine last night. What's crazy is it streams games via cloud better than it plays remote games from the PS5
I swear, I thought I was trippin!
It should be the opposite that’s crazy
Same here, just can't understand why?
Sounds great,now it just need updates to stream media apps like Crunchyroll, Netflix and more
And Steam ;)

it doesn’t feel native if u can’t play FPS

They need to be like Netflix and allow offline access via download so we can use it on the road
It doesn’t have enough memory
@@TheMa5cmpbexternal ssd
The portal can barely even run a PSP game that is not gonna happen without a new console coming out

@stephensearles673 bro doesn't know what "remote play" or "cloud streaming" actually is 😭💀🙏
You haven't got a bloody clue what your talking about
Came here straight from discord. Great addition 👏
Let's go! #csquad #discrodgang 💪🏾
Where did you get the Spider-Man case and the Spider-Man controls covers? Thank you for sharing.
The best part of this update is the fix to the low volume lol. The streaming is cool if u don't have a ps5 though.
Can I play my games I have already bought? Like from my downloaded and in my library? Or is just from the ps plus game catalog?
This alone made me buy a portal today, I don't even have a PS5
W! Hope you used my link playa 😂😂😂
I gotta give you credit, you were the only person that had faith early that they would do this!
Great video man. Went to subscribe and realized I already did. Got me twice😂
LOL. Thanks bro!
There is actually 200 games in the catalogue and its fn glorious. You also get lots more option on your Pulse Explore or Elite.
And it's just the Beta
You’re the reason I bought my PlayStation Portal back in January. It’s a great investment. Especially from this amazing update!
Just got my PS5 Pro yesterday! Gonna pick up the portal next. What a Christmas
Yeah man the speaker did get updated as well
Yeah, I'm guessing they are using dynamic compression for the sound.
What about the games we already own? Can we cloud stream those to without the ps5 being on?
Not yet, as stated in the blog post
I got my first Playstation Portal today. I got the 30th anniversary edition and it's amazing. Hopefully the will release Playstation cloud gaming in Australia soon.
Hey man thanks for the video. I dig the vibe and you always keeping us up to date.
I appreciate you big dawg!
Just curious: What is the benefit streaming over the cloud if you already have a PS5? Why not just stream your own games from your personal console? I've been on PS5 for a while and will be interested in getting a portal next year.
For me, I could see me gaming but having something on for me and my partner to watch. Or back in the room where we don’t have a console.
I can now take my portal to work and chill with it and play some blood omen while connected to my hotspot and my PS5 doesn't need to be on standby.
The portal streams games directly from the cloud alot better than it handles remote playing off of your PS5 console
if someone is using your ps5 then you can log in your account in the portail and play as if it was a standalone handheld
Getting one this weekend. Been watching all your vids on the portal. You said they would do it 🔥🔥🔥
I called it bro 🤣. I be knowing stuff (sometimes) lol...it was actually some insider information I had but just disguised it as if I didn't know....but shhhhh don't tell nobody.
What up fam. Quick question…. What aspect ratio do you shoot your YT videos in?!
Been using it for an hour and it's awesome! I already stopped using my legion go as much but this might make me use it much less.
Mane! Why we got to have the highest plan to play it? Guess I’m being cheap
Nah it's annoying lol. I got the extra plan and I don't wanna upgrade
So poor and homeless kid 😂😂😂
Get it on black friday ps plus usually on sale
You also get a lot of premium "free" games.
Just wondering can you do it if you have playstation plus extra
No
