I was about to cancel my premium subscription to PS Plus, but now I think I’m going to keep it just for this. Honestly thought I was going to play legacy ps2/3 titles more, but rarely have time with all the new stuff coming out. This cloud streaming sounds like a game changer for my portal.
It’s been quite a day for cloud gaming. First this from Sony and now Microsoft enabling you to stream in the cloud games you already own on the Xbox platform. A great day for gamers.
Marc I bought the portal. I was hoping for this to be added. I knew it would eventually arrive. This is an awesome feature. Portal is at another level now.
Remnds me of when PS Vita had Playstation Now for a bit. This was the future people hoped for back in 2012 with the Ps Vita. I just wish Sony still would make a dedicated handheld again that natively plays all their legacy catalogs at the very least.
I just bought one because of this update. I don't have a PS5. I kinda do now. It works really well. It's way better than the last time I tried Sony's cloud service that was running on PS3's. 😂
I returned it 2 months ago. Main issue for me was the lag via wifi while away from home network. Now Sony have fixed the latency issue and with the cloud streaming it seems like I'm buying it again haha
The day iblood omen legacy of kain is on the catalog and streamable on the portal is the day i am extremely happy. I miss that game and want it playable on currant gen.
My wallet just felt lighter reading this title. I will finally be adding the Portal to my buy list! This should have been available day one. Hopefully they pump out so many PS5 games by the end of next year.
America has totally lost their minds, you know if you had Playstation premium you could have been streaming these games already right, now your just paying Sony to do it without the PS5.
@@nickando1734 yep. I waited to get a portal to see if they would release another colour and them the 30th anniversary edition got announced and had to get it.
Just incase anyone didnt know if you are at home and using your portal you can use your regular headset you own for ps5. You just join a voice chat on the ps5 turn your tv off and itll still work while using the portal . Thats how ive been doing it when my kiddos take over the tv .
I don’t understand why it’s not 5G capable or a model that has such.. my iPad has built in 5G which I’d love to have PS Portal my iPad & Ps5 remote is a WiFi less device
Why do you think the portal doesn’t have Bluetooth. As far as I know the PlayStation earbuds that you can buy at work specifically with the portal are Bluetooth. So it seems to me it’s sunny it’s just not putting general use Bluetooth earbuds enabled so they can sell their over priced brand specific Bluetooth earbuds
Lol of course you need plus and the premium version at that, I cancelled mine a year ago when they increased the price, not like I even own one of these because from what I was told you needed a PS5 on the same wifi and turned on to even play games on it, which basically made it an expensive wii u game pad not a switch
Marc, I just wanted to tell that your incorrect, remote play will always be better then cloud streaming all the time. The latency will better remote playing then cloud. This is not my opinion but facts my friend.
I want Sony to make it available (cloud streaming) for more countries like it Asia where I live, I had a ps5 but currently motherboard spoil so I could just by portal to play ps5 games since I did subscript to PlayStation, not going to buy a new ps5 console anytime soon since I have a PC gaming handheld
If this is real. Im going to get a PS Portal! Wow! Please tell me this is not a mod or hack or root. lol. Thats all. Im just going by your title. Good video tho. Peace!
For me on wifi remote play was lagging as hell, Now on cloud using the same wifi is perfect no lag so far at all, remote play was always lagging very annoying! I wanted to sell it before but not any more :P
I just turned on my PlayStation portal & when i opened the cloud streaming data it is loading super slow!! Does this mean my wifi sucks? Maybe i need another update?
You still need wifi so what’s the difference? I think if you’re at home going through the playstation is better and if you’re away it’s better too cause it saves you 17 bucks a month.
I have a question can I just use my account from ps5 and have the games on my portal without turning my ps5 on just login in with my account from ps5 and have everything there ???
what about shared ps premium account with my friend? On ps5 I have two accounts, mine for trophies collection and his for ps premium access shared back to mine. Does this work on portal as well? Or do I have to be logged directly under his account?
by the way Every month and you don't even get to choose which games you get to play you get to play what they give you So glad I got a steam deck where I can play my games anywhere anytime with no Internet no streaming no crap playstation messed up by not making a new psp smh instead you get that thing you can't even use with a Playstation. plus subscription and fast internet to play 100 old games what a ripoff
215e just to pay subscription to use streaming.... And for 300 u could get odin 2, that can himself play any android game, ps1, ps2, and any older consoles including nintendos and switch. PLUS you can buy any subscription like gfn or shadow or some or stream from ur own pc to handheld device that has buttons like portal does. So for 85e you get everything rest. This shi isnt even good if u already pay ps5 and subscription
So i right now my main console is an Xbox so if want to buy the PS portal after this update does i still need to buy ps5 or no i can jut connect my account in the portal. Thank u.
So with this cloud streaming service, you DO NOT need a PS5. But you can only play the games available on the Cloud Service. So some of the latest PS5 games are not available yet.
Why is he lying? How does he know there’s way less lag than with remote play? Where’s his comparison video? Cloud and Remote play both use the internet so each are using the same speeds to get content to you. I it’ll be similar experiences.
They just need to improve the cloud library. I never like the selection of games in it for many years. Cloud gaming is useless when majority of the games are dislikes. Only a few good ones in it. I still have to use the remote mostly for the fun games I own.
Just got one last month and already think its a great device. I believe it will continue to improve. Definitely worth it.
Yes it's the best E waste
@@AMAR0506Someone is a butthurt crybaby ps portal hater hahaha
You have so right❤😊
I finally have a reason to get more use out of my Portal. I am glad I kept mine since my purchase last year. Thanks Marc for posting this!
I just got one today. What a perfect timing 😂😂
I was about to cancel my premium subscription to PS Plus, but now I think I’m going to keep it just for this. Honestly thought I was going to play legacy ps2/3 titles more, but rarely have time with all the new stuff coming out. This cloud streaming sounds like a game changer for my portal.
With the money that you spent on this, you could I have just bought steam deck/ally or even a Android emulation device
What new stuff is coming out? Gamings been kinda of scarce with new games
@@MrWhis-fe5hs stay butthurt over this Nintendo switch fanboy crying over the playstation portal lol
I'm so glad I bought a Portal months back.
If going to be like this I will surely buy the portal
It’s been quite a day for cloud gaming. First this from Sony and now Microsoft enabling you to stream in the cloud games you already own on the Xbox platform. A great day for gamers.
I Got my Portal Last Christmas and I Have enjoyed it. This is an Added Bonus.
I wanted to find a reason to buy this thing; now there's a definitive reason haha
Marc I bought the portal. I was hoping for this to be added. I knew it would eventually arrive. This is an awesome feature. Portal is at another level now.
Now I think I get the ps5 and portal. Just in time for black Friday sale.
Good timing.
I was waiting for this before I bought one. I'm gonna buy one sometime soon.
This is a great way to try games before installing them on the big set up
No it isn't. did you take a look at the games, they are all either third party or four to five year old games.
@@studivanIt's just beta for the stepping stone, they will surely add more features.
@@studivanwhat does your comment have to do with anything?
@JetSetTyler he's just a Nintendo switch fanboy crying that sony didn't make a ps vita 2 lol
That made no sense@@EnaTenkiyoGamer
Just tried it. Works really well.
Great video please keep up the great work. I’m going to buy a PlayStation. Portal it will be nice to have a PlayStation store on it.
AAAAHHHHH upgrading now as we speak!
Dam that’s dope I was hesitant about this one
This is true PS Vita 2. No need another PS Vita 2
do not need the chip for blu tooth i think it will be a dungle that will plug in where the power cord goes.
ordered one already - amazing update.. they just need to bring in Netflix and UA-cam etc etc...
Remnds me of when PS Vita had Playstation Now for a bit. This was the future people hoped for back in 2012 with the Ps Vita. I just wish Sony still would make a dedicated handheld again that natively plays all their legacy catalogs at the very least.
Definitely waiting for PS6 generation so they can put PS5 games natively.
because people will cry about the price for the handheld, that tech would be powerful tho

I’ve just picked one up in the UK, it is sold out on most sites and places.
So we don't have to buy a PS5 initially ? I can buy a PS Portal by itself and update with my premium. I don't have a PS5.
Yes
How about the youtubers make a video when you don't have a playstation 5 on your portal do it from scratch, let's see it
rigght I bought one early this morning every game I try and play says something went wrong lol
The day iblood omen legacy of kain is on the catalog and streamable on the portal is the day i am extremely happy. I miss that game and want it playable on currant gen.
I am in the UK and just signed up for the portal streaming games. Blood Omen Legacy of Kain is first on the list, I am playing it now
Blood Omen 2 is there as well
@@paulwilloughby7080 i didn't like the 2nd one back then it was super glitchy...
@@paulwilloughby7080 i would love a remaster of it with current gem graphics.
Ahh, i see you are Stan as well 😌
Man they better add Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!!! I'm Loving The Legacy Of Kain Classics though!!!
My wallet just felt lighter reading this title. I will finally be adding the Portal to my buy list! This should have been available day one. Hopefully they pump out so many PS5 games by the end of next year.

@@EnaTenkiyoGamer the steamdeck clears both
@@Codyslx stay butthurt about the playstation portal steam drone fanboy. You just salty because sony won't make a ps vita 2 hahaha
@EnaTenkiyoGamer I'm the fan boy but your the one throwing insults because how dare anyone criticize your shitty overpriced glorified stream device.
I'm picking up my 30th anniversary edition Playstation Portal today. Super excited. Only problem is Australia doesn't have Playstation cloud gaming.😭
Can I trade you my 2-3 month old Portal for your 30th anniversary Portal?
Use vpn app on your phone and hotspot , or install vpn on your router if you know how! that will help you play cloud gaming!
@@BUPMY1why on earth would they do that 💀
@@nickando1734 yep. I waited to get a portal to see if they would release another colour and them the 30th anniversary edition got announced and had to get it.
@@nickando1734 Why on earth would anyone take that request serious?
One slight issue. You may get disconnected from the PS plus option on your mobile device. It’s still new. Let’s hope the bugs get fixed.
I'd like it if they update the Playstation button for it to be the home button instead of swiping to the left on the screen
Bought one two days ago for this very reason.
Thanks for the video! 🎉 Does the cloud service have ff7 rebirth playable?
I already liked mine, now it’s an even better buy. I just wish that any game I owned would be playable from the cloud. 🤦🏻♂️ Maybe later?
it’ll get there, give it time they just dropped this update
Just incase anyone didnt know if you are at home and using your portal you can use your regular headset you own for ps5. You just join a voice chat on the ps5 turn your tv off and itll still work while using the portal . Thats how ive been doing it when my kiddos take over the tv .
Thanks for that tip
Cool tip. But I still prefer Bluetooth.
I don’t understand why it’s not 5G capable or a model that has such.. my iPad has built in 5G which I’d love to have PS Portal my iPad & Ps5 remote is a WiFi less device
Might pick it up just to play Demons, awesome news.
Buying one of these babies ASAP! I’ll go great with my PC 🫡
This feature is soooo cool. But shd have been a day 1 thing tbh.
Dude you can do a video about it. The thing? PlayStation Portal Or you need ps5 another thing to make it PlayStation Portal work, yeah or no?
Why do you think the portal doesn’t have Bluetooth. As far as I know the PlayStation earbuds that you can buy at work specifically with the portal are Bluetooth. So it seems to me it’s sunny it’s just not putting general use Bluetooth earbuds enabled so they can sell their over priced brand specific Bluetooth earbuds

Sadly, it is not available in all the countries even Xbox game pass ultimate cloud gaming is not available in many countries too
Marc, I just wanted to tell that your incorrect, remote play will always be better then cloud streaming all the time. The latency will better remote playing then cloud. This is not my opinion but facts my friend.
What about games you purchased?
I wish we didn't have to touch the screen to access the settings menu
wait, all the games in the cloud library is free to play and all you need is the PS PLUS premium subscription???
Still not better than the Psvita & PSP !!!
PSP was a great handheld device.
Ps vita is dead and abandoned but not the playstation portal and it is better than switch 😂
I want Sony to make it available (cloud streaming) for more countries like it Asia where I live, I had a ps5 but currently motherboard spoil so I could just by portal to play ps5 games since I did subscript to PlayStation, not going to buy a new ps5 console anytime soon since I have a PC gaming handheld
Ghostface came to mk1 can you do a video
If this is real. Im going to get a PS Portal! Wow! Please tell me this is not a mod or hack or root. lol. Thats all. Im just going by your title. Good video tho. Peace!
now you don't need a ps5 now update system firmware
Me 2
I'm buying one now
Yes this is real I just got it
How are the input latency and smoothness compared to remote play?
For me on wifi remote play was lagging as hell, Now on cloud using the same wifi is perfect no lag so far at all, remote play was always lagging very annoying! I wanted to sell it before but not any more :P
@@osis8010 that's why you need to HARDwire your ps5 to the internet and not remote playing wireless
Why mine don't have the cloud streaming? Already update the software
A revelation I’m sure
I can’t see this cloud streaming feature ( i am from India) even after updating……
Now just let us stream our PlayStation games from phones and tv app.
Going forward they cant expect us to pay 500-700 for outdated hardware at launch.
What an entitled gamer 😂
its a great update but still its only selected ps clouid games not all the games you own 😢
I just turned on my PlayStation portal & when i opened the cloud streaming data it is loading super slow!! Does this mean my wifi sucks? Maybe i need another update?
i live in Mexico got to update this morning but i dont see the 5 option what is really going on
You still need wifi so what’s the difference? I think if you’re at home going through the playstation is better and if you’re away it’s better too cause it saves you 17 bucks a month.
Hahaha entitled gamers complaining 😂😂😂
Does this mean that someone can be playing something on the PS5 and you can be playing the portal with this feature? Anyone know ?
Ça fonctionne en cloud streaming maintenant mais est-ce qu’il faut auparavant le lier à une ps5 ?
Je n’ai pas de pS5 à la maison.
so question, i just sign up for a premium subscription and i can play all games? or do i need to purchase first the game before I can play?
You can play all the games included in the Cloud Streaming service.
Still a streaming device, not a console, so NO.
Stay crying Nintendo switch fanboy. You still complaining like a entitled gamer who can't afford anything 😂😂😂
I have a question can I just use my account from ps5 and have the games on my portal without turning my ps5 on just login in with my account from ps5 and have everything there ???
Need to bring cloud streaming to iPad
Nah portal is better 😂😂😂
what about shared ps premium account with my friend? On ps5 I have two accounts, mine for trophies collection and his for ps premium access shared back to mine. Does this work on portal as well? Or do I have to be logged directly under his account?
ps plus premium membership NOT available in india
What is that in the background with the animated sony character icons?
Sony games has it’s own studio like marvel studio where the start of the games have PlayStation characters
So now I assume you can play games from the cloud on PC or phone, since you couldn't do that before.
This update is just for the PS portal
I see, maybe they will add this feature for those devices too in the future.
There's been a ps plus cloud app on PC for quite a while. Just not on mobile.
What is the purpose if u can not play a+ game day 1
You will make videos also about xcloud?
Can you play Astroboot?
Not in the beta, only what's available on the top end sub
I'm curious, so with this a person can play my PS5 and I can play on this and use the same account?
Does the games includes nba 2k25?
hows the latency
by the way Every month and you don't even get to choose which games you get to play you get to play what they give you So glad I got a steam deck where I can play my games anywhere anytime with no Internet no streaming no crap playstation messed up by not making a new psp smh instead you get that thing you can't even use with a Playstation. plus subscription and fast internet to play 100 old games what a ripoff
The question I have is can u play a game offline
only with disks
@ thanks
do we need to buy ps5 ?
No, but you do need a ps+ premium membership and have an account in one of the countries it works in.
215e just to pay subscription to use streaming.... And for 300 u could get odin 2, that can himself play any android game, ps1, ps2, and any older consoles including nintendos and switch. PLUS you can buy any subscription like gfn or shadow or some or stream from ur own pc to handheld device that has buttons like portal does. So for 85e you get everything rest. This shi isnt even good if u already pay ps5 and subscription
It should have been availabla day one.
I am one of those 😂
So what different with cloud stream ?? is the connection as bad as normal stream with ps5?
Most people are saying it’s better. Sonny’s fixed some glitches with the latest update and you can now lower the volume more on it
Anyone know if days gone is available?
Right now its only ps5 games, ps4 and ps3 games aren't currently available, including days gone unfortunately
@NerdyMangler that's right, thank you so much.
O sea ahora puedo comprar un Portal sin necesidad de tener una PS5?
I have psp vita
Dead system 😂
So i right now my main console is an Xbox so if want to buy the PS portal after this update does i still need to buy ps5 or no i can jut connect my account in the portal.
Thank u.
So with this cloud streaming service, you DO NOT need a PS5. But you can only play the games available on the Cloud Service. So some of the latest PS5 games are not available yet.

Why is he lying? How does he know there’s way less lag than with remote play? Where’s his comparison video? Cloud and Remote play both use the internet so each are using the same speeds to get content to you. I it’ll be similar experiences.
how does it perform outside with mobile network?
If you have great hotspot it works
It'll definitely perform way better than remote play.
But you still need internet for this trash
Stay butthurt about it sony portable hater 😂😂😂
They just need to improve the cloud library. I never like the selection of games in it for many years. Cloud gaming is useless when majority of the games are dislikes. Only a few good ones in it. I still have to use the remote mostly for the fun games I own.
Do u needs wifi
Sony ❤sony
No Arkham games? Sigh
Do some one now when you put dvd or bleuray cd in your playstation 5 that you can watch the movie on your playstation portal ?????
What about travel ? Is there a Ln offline option when you're on the road ?
Its cool but I rather have a dedicated handheld like the steam deck going outside and playing without depending on wifi.
Me too. But this is to let me know how much better the PS Portal got. Any dedicated handheld device will be better than this. Thank for sharing
Hope one day u can just play on any smartphone with just portal app
