Sony is about to introduce more ways to use your PlayStation Portal. The company announced the release of a cloud streaming feature in beta that will allow users to stream certain games to the device without the need for a console.

This is part of a wider PS Portal update that will also bring audio fixes and will be available starting Wednesday. PlayStation hasn’t said how long cloud streaming will be tested, but it’s seeking user feedback and is expected to change features over time.

There are certain limitations to consider, depending on the PlayStation Blog Post. This will only be available for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers ($160 per year when you purchase 12 months in advance), and will only offer 120 PlayStation 5 games in the PlayStation Plus Catalog. A partial list includes Dave the Diver, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift ApartAnd The Ghost of Tsushima. This only applies to the PS5 versions of these games. That’s still a huge list of games to try, and by streaming you can access them all DualSense Controller features like haptic feedback.

Cloud streaming will also only support up to 1080p and 60 frames per second. This may seem minimal given the PS5 Pro can stream games in up to 4K resolution, but there are always give-and-takes with cloud streaming because everything is done over an internet connection. To get 1080p, you’ll need a minimum of 13 Mbps.

Some features will also not be available, such as the ability to stream games you already own, game trials, group voice chat, and 3D audio. This only applies to streaming games from the PS Plus library on your PS Portal.

The PS Portal is a unique device in the growing sea of ​​gaming handhelds. You can get it for $200which is relatively small compared to other options, but it only supports streaming, so its audience is rather niche (although the people who like it really like it). At launch, it only allowed you to stream if your PS5 was turned on, but with this beta feature you’ll be able to access PlayStation’s servers to stream games, much like it did Nvidia GeForce now works.
