PlayStation Portal Enhances Cloud Streaming with Beta Updates, Adds Gameplay Capture
Sony is introducing an exciting new update for PlayStation Portal users participating in its Cloud Streaming Beta. This update, rolling out later today, enhances user experience and functionality within the remote play system's cloud capabilities.
A key feature of this update is the ability to sort games in the Cloud Streaming Beta catalog. Players can now organize their games by Name, Release Date, or according to which titles were most recently added to PlayStation Plus, making it easier to find and enjoy their favorite games.
Another significant addition is the capability to capture gameplay during a Cloud Streaming session. Users can access the create menu to take screenshots or record video clips, with Sony supporting video resolutions up to 1920x1080 and durations of up to three minutes.
Gameplay will now pause when you access the PS Portal quick menu, enter rest mode using the power button, or if a system error message appears. However, note that the rest mode pause is limited to 15 seconds; if the Portal remains in rest mode longer, the cloud streaming session will disconnect. This pause feature is not available during online multiplayer sessions.Additional updates include a queue system for when the streaming server reaches capacity, notifications for inactivity, and new user feedback tools. Sony has committed 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 a more standalone cloud streaming device, and it appears Sony is dedicated to further refining this feature.
As cloud streaming becomes increasingly integral to the gaming ecosystem, it will be fascinating to see how Sony's offerings develop in tandem with the PlayStation Portal. The ability to capture numerous screenshots during streaming sessions adds a delightful touch for users.
