Sony has announced an exciting new update for PlayStation Portal users engaged in its Cloud Streaming Beta, set to enhance the user experience and functionality later today. This update introduces several key features to the remote play system's cloud capabilities, making it even more appealing for PlayStation Plus Premium members.
One of the standout additions is the ability to sort games within the Cloud Streaming Beta catalog. Players can now organize their games by Name, Release Date, or based on which titles were most recently added to PlayStation Plus, streamlining the browsing experience.
Another significant enhancement is the introduction of gameplay capture during Cloud Streaming sessions. Users can now access the familiar create menu options to take screenshots or record video clips, with Sony supporting video clips up to 1920x1080 resolution and up to three minutes in length.
Additionally, 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, the pause in rest mode is limited to 15 seconds; if the Portal remains in rest mode beyond this, the cloud streaming session will disconnect. It's important to note that this pause feature is not available during online multiplayer sessions.The update also includes a queue system for when the streaming server reaches capacity, notifications for inactivity, and new user feedback tools. Sony has committed to continuously refining and expanding the features of the Cloud Streaming Beta based on user feedback.
Currently exclusive to PlayStation Plus Premium members, the Cloud Streaming Beta enables streaming of 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 appears dedicated to further enhancing this capability.
As cloud streaming becomes increasingly integral to the gaming landscape, it will be fascinating to observe how Sony's offerings evolve in conjunction with the PlayStation Portal. For now, the ability to capture numerous screenshots during streaming sessions adds a delightful touch to the user experience.
