The PS Portal has taken a significant leap forward by now allowing players to stream over 200 games directly, without the need for a PS5. This development nudges it closer to being a standalone handheld gaming device. Especially for PS Plus Premium subscribers, this cloud streaming service is in a beta phase at the moment. Sony hasn’t offered a timeline for its full release, but feedback suggests the service is quite robust even in its current state.
### Curated List of Streamable Games on PS Portal
Staying updated with the latest catalog additions can be a bit tricky since Sony doesn’t send out regular notifications to players. To bridge this gap, dedicated PS Portal users have started compiling their own lists of games that work with the system. A comprehensive list shared in a Reddit community currently includes a minimum of 212 games, and this number keeps growing as Sony gradually adds more titles.
It’s important to note that the cloud streaming capability is only available in certain regions. In places like Australia, where internet stability doesn’t quite meet Sony’s requirements for cloud streaming, players have access to PS Plus Deluxe instead of the Premium service.
For those interested in tracking game updates, there’s an excellent resource called PSPortal.games. This fan-created site enables gamers to view and update the list of games available for streaming in their respective countries. You can also opt to subscribe for notifications whenever a new title becomes available.
Here’s to hoping we might see a fully standalone PlayStation handheld console in the next generation of gaming hardware!
