PlayStation Portal Enhances Cloud Streaming with Beta Updates, Adds Gameplay Capture

May 01,25(7 months ago)

Sony is rolling out a new update for PlayStation Portal users who are using its Cloud Streaming Beta. This update enhances the user experience and general functionality of the remote play system's cloud capabilities, and it will be available later today.

One of the key features of this update is the ability to sort games within the Cloud Streaming Beta catalog. Players can now organize their games by Name, Release Date, or by which titles were most recently added to PlayStation Plus, making it easier to find and play their favorite games.

Another exciting addition is the ability to capture gameplay during a Cloud Streaming session. Users can utilize the familiar create menu options to take screenshots or record video clips. According to the PlayStation blog, video clips can be recorded in up to 1920x1080 resolution and can last up to three minutes.

PlayAdditionally, gameplay will now pause when you open the PS Portal quick menu, enter rest mode using the power button, or if a system error message appears. However, the pause in rest mode will only last for 15 seconds before the cloud streaming session disconnects. It's important to note that pausing is not supported in online multiplayer games.

Other enhancements include a queue system for when the streaming server reaches capacity, notifications for inactivity, and new user feedback tools. Sony has expressed its commitment to continuously improving the service based on user feedback.

The Cloud Streaming Beta is exclusively available to PlayStation Plus Premium members, allowing them to stream select PS5 games from the PS Plus Catalog directly on the PS Portal. Last year's update transformed the Portal into more of a standalone cloud streaming device, and Sony seems dedicated to further developing this feature.

As cloud streaming becomes increasingly integral to the gaming ecosystem, it will be fascinating to see how Sony's service evolves in tandem with the PlayStation Portal. At the very least, the ability to capture numerous screenshots while streaming to your Portal is a welcome addition.
