PS Portal gets system update with audio enhancements and Cloud streaming

The PlayStation Portal is getting a new Remote Play system update. Some of the features include audio refinements, and another is cloud streaming support on the Portal for PS Plus Premium members.

The audio updates include:

• Speaker audio output adjustment to make the volume lower when the audio level is set to minimum
• You will now be able to adjust settings of your PlayStation Link device from the PS Portal Settings menu, allowing you to optimize the volume and sidetone volume

The update also includes the ability to stream PS5 games in the PS Plus Game Catalogue up to 1080p/60fps. DualSense wireless features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, speakers, and more accompany these new cloud games.

Additionally, here are the features available in the beta:

• Over 120 PS5 games from the PS Plus Game Catalog, including Dave the Diver, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Monster Hunter Rise, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will be accessible on PS Portal via cloud streaming
• Streaming up to 1080p/60fps
• DualSense wireless controller features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, speakers, touchpad (emulated on the touch screen for PS Portal), and motion sensor
• PlayStation Plus Cloud storage
  • Save data and game progress can be stored up to 100GB and will be automatically synced with your PS5 console, making it easy to switch seamlessly between local and streaming gameplay, and between multiple devices.

This is available in Canada, the U.K., the U.S., Japan, Germany and many more.

PS Plus Premium costs $21.99/month, $59.99/three months or $189.99/year. In addition to all the perks of PS Plus Essential and Extra, Premium also offers an expanded catalogue that includes PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP titles, full-game trials and cloud streaming.
