At PlayStation, innovations continue to enhance the gaming experience. The PS Portal has received one of its most significant updates, offering new ways for players to enjoy their favorite games.
PlayStation Plus Premium members can now stream select digital PS5 games from their own library. This feature unlocks new possibilities, such as playing alongside a friend using your PS5 account separately or streaming while someone else watches a movie on the console.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding PS5 cloud streaming on the PlayStation Portal, including requirements, restrictions, and a list of compatible games.
Streaming PS5 Games: How to Access PlayStation Cloud Gaming
PS Plus Premium subscribers can use cloud streaming to play nearly 1000 PS5 games on their PS5 console and partially on the PlayStation Portal handheld, thanks to the 2024 beta update. To start streaming games on your PS5, ensure you meet the following requirements:
PS5 Cloud Streaming Requirements
- An active PS Plus Premium subscription
- A PS5 console or a PlayStation Portal (in certain regions)
- A strong and stable internet connection

Why Choose Cloud Streaming?
Cloud Streaming is available for select PS5 games from PlayStation Store, meaning you can jump straight into the action without having to download your game or free up space on your console.
Modern big-budget blockbuster games can be demanding on your console’s hard drive space, with downloads often exceeding 100GB. And whenever you’re cloud streaming with PlayStation Plus your save data is automatically stored in the cloud, keeping it safe to pick up where you left off in future, even on another compatible device.
To get started with Cloud Streaming, you’ll need broadband internet connection with a minimum of 5 Mbps upload and download speeds, and a PlayStation Plus Premium membership.
Cloud Streaming with PlayStation Plus Premium
Join PlayStation Plus Premium today for instant access to Cloud Streaming on your PS5 console or PlayStation Portal remote player. Along with access to hundreds of select titles in the Game Catalog and Classics Catalog you can play a range of titles before you buy with Game Trials, access online multiplayer and more.

Best Games to Play on PlayStation Portal
While the best PlayStation Portal games can be any game that you’ve currently got installed on your PlayStation 5 (PS5), or a select list of games available for cloud streaming, not every title works all that well when transferred into a handheld format.
Some titles from across a range of genres feel a little sweeter on the small screen, or even more immersive when played close-up and personal, pulling you into cutscenes or combat sequences as if you were there. This is something further enhanced by the Portal’s fully-fledged DualSense controller features such as the haptic feedback for movement and adaptive triggers for weapons.
Here are some recommendations for the best games to play:
Arc Raiders
Arc Raiders is a slower-paced online title that’s perfect for the Portal. Its robust controller design ensures smooth shooting, and the on-board microphone helps with Raider encounters. Matches tend to last around 30 minutes, making it ideal for bite-sized sessions.
The Outer Worlds 2
The Outer Worlds 2 improves upon its predecessor and runs great on the remote play device. With many side quests, the PlayStation Portal is perfect for chipping away at smaller tasks and diving deeper into the world. The game’s brightly colored sci-fi aesthetic really pops on the portable screen.
Ghost of Yōtei
Ghost of Yōtei expands on the winning formula of its predecessor, adding new weapon types, a new protagonist, and a whole new world to explore. The game runs great on the PlayStation Portal, and the side quests are a real breeze to chip away at in handheld.
Gears of War: Reloaded
Gears of War: Reloaded brings the game to PlayStation platforms for the first time ever. This is a truly brilliant remaster that once again brings the first Gears of War game into the modern world. It's still a fantastic third-person shooter, one that's still every bit as gory, action-packed, and positively thrilling as it was in 2006.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remake
Being able to take Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remake on the go with PS Portal is a dream come true. It's responsive, and suits the handheld with its bite-sized levels and challenges. This is a brilliant remake of some of the best games ever made, with all of the love and care that fans deserve.
Deltarune
Deltarune is the charming follow up to Undertale, offering an expanded combat system, party members and an emotionally charged story that's yet to conclude. Playing on the PlayStation Portal is a great way to chip away at Deltarune's first four chapters, running smoothly when streamed from PS5, and looking great on the Portal's screen.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered
Oblivion Remastered is much more than what you likely think it is. Aside from the beautiful graphical updates, there's been a whole lot of love and attention dedicated to streamlining the original experience, bringing it more in line with modern Bethesda RPGs. Leveling borrows from Skyrim, combat has been tightened, and an expanded third-person camera now brings further attention to your character, build and gear.
Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds finally offers up a seamless open world to explore, filled with free-roaming monsters to hunt, resources to gather, and allies to recruit. It's a dream on PlayStation Portal, allowing you to run hunts and gather resources from the comfort of your sofa. The series has a long history of being on handheld devices, so the design certainly works here too.
With Cloud Streaming and these new features, the PlayStation Portal offers an enhanced gaming experience. The PlayStation community's embrace of the device since its launch is greatly appreciated.
