PlayStation Portal Gets Cloud Streaming Today (Nov. 6, 2025): Stream Select PS5 Digital Games Without Your Console On — New UI, 3D Audio, and In‑Game Purchases

6 November 2025
  • Cloud streaming is now live on PlayStation Portal for PlayStation Plus Premium members, rolling out from Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. PT / Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. GMT. [1]
  • You can stream select PS5 digital games from your own library (plus titles from the PS Plus Game and Classics Catalogs) without connecting to a PS5—and even if your home PS5 is off or in use by someone else. [2]
  • The Portal UI is redesigned with three tabs (Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, Search) and adds 3D audio, a network status screen, passcode lock, accessibility features, in‑game store access, and join‑from‑invite multiplayer while streaming. [3]
  • Availability & requirements: PS Plus Premium (adult accounts only), minimum 5 Mbps connection; streaming quality guidance up to 1080p on Portal (Portal’s 8″ LCD supports 1080p/60 fps). [4]
  • Outside reporting notes the update exited beta and highlights the broader feature set launching today; patch 6.0.0 also includes smaller quality‑of‑life tweaks (e.g., viewing PSN profiles, Quick Menu on most screens). [5]

What changed today

Sony has flipped the switch on full cloud streaming for PS5 games on PlayStation Portal, ending last year’s beta and transforming the handheld from a pure Remote Play device into a cloud‑streaming client for PS Plus Premium members. The rollout began Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. PT (Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. GMT) and is accompanied by a major software update. [6]

Crucially, Premium subscribers can now stream a selection of PS5 games they’ve purchased digitally in addition to the PS Plus Game and Classics Catalogs—no PS5 connection required. Sony also underscores that streaming works when your PS5 is powered off or busy with another account at home. [7]

New features at a glance

  • New home UI with three tabs:Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, and Search for streamable titles. [8]
  • 3D Audio during Remote Play and Cloud Streaming (with compatible headsets, including PlayStation Link). [9]
  • Network Status screen (Quick Menu → Troubleshoot → Show Network Status) to monitor connection quality. [10]
  • Passcode lock for device security. [11]
  • In‑game store access while streaming for add‑ons and currencies, plus accessibility options (screen reader, adjustable text size). [12]
  • Join multiplayer from invites directly during a cloud session. [13]

Extra touches in today’s 6.0.0 update (noted in third‑party patch coverage): view PSN profiles from Portal, open the Quick Menu on most screens, send feedback from the device, and general performance/stability improvements. [14]

Does PlayStation Portal work without a PS5 now?

Functionally, yes—if you have PS Plus Premium. Cloud streaming on Portal does not require pairing to a PS5, and Sony explicitly says you can keep playing even when the console at home is off. You’ll need a Premium subscription, a PlayStation account, and a supported, stream‑eligible PS5 game in your digital library or in the PS Plus catalogs. Note that only select PS5 titles are streamable; PS4/PS3 games aren’t supported on Portal. [15]

Where it’s available

Cloud streaming on PS5/Portal is offered to adult accounts with PS Plus Premium in: the United States, Canada, Japan, the UK, and most of Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland). [16]

Internet speeds and video quality

Sony lists minimum 5 Mbps up/down to start a session. Recommended bandwidth for cloud streaming on supported devices is 13 Mbps (720p), 23 Mbps (1080p), 38 Mbps (1440p), 52 Mbps (2160p/4K). The PlayStation Portal’s hardware is a 1080p/60 fps display, so expect Full HD targets on Portal. [17]

How to get started (today)

  1. Update your PlayStation Portal to the latest system software (the rollout accompanying today’s launch).
  2. On the new home screen, select the Cloud Streaming tab.
  3. Search for streamable games (your digital PS5 purchases and eligible PS Plus titles appear here) and tap “Stream.”
  4. Optional: In the Quick Menu, use Troubleshoot → Show Network Status to confirm your connection quality; enable 3D Audio in settings if you have compatible headphones. [18]

How many games can you stream?

Sony’s official messaging says “thousands” of PS5 games are compatible at launch, plus hundreds from the PS Plus Game and Classics Catalogs. Independent trackers are already tallying the library; one outlet lists 2,800+ streamable PS5 titles on Portal as of today. Check Sony’s Cloud Streaming Game Finder for the live, region‑specific list. [19]

What still isn’t supported (for now)

  • Only PS5 titles are streamable on Portal (no PS4/PS3 via cloud on Portal).
  • Child accounts are not eligible for Cloud Streaming.
  • Title eligibility varies by region and over time; not every PS5 game is streamable. [20]

Why this matters

The update unshackles PlayStation Portal from the PS5 and positions it as a convenient cloud handheld for Premium subscribers, with meaningful quality‑of‑life upgrades (3D audio, invites, in‑game store). Coverage across the gaming press emphasizes the scope of the update and confirms the feature set leaving beta. [21]

  • Kimbell Royalty (KRP) Q3 EPS and Revenue Beat; Zacks Rank Sell

Ahead of the print, consensus projections call for $0.22 next quarter on $81.34 million in revenue and $0.68 for the full year on $322.11 million in revenue. Zacks assigns a Rank #4 (Sell) due to unfavorable earnings-estimate revisions in the Oil and Gas - Royalty Trust sector.

  • QuantumScape Extends Cash Runway to 2029, Refocusing on Licensing Growth
    November 6, 2025, 12:42 PM EST. QuantumScape extended its liquidity runway to 2029, reinforcing its capital-light licensing strategy with partners like PowerCo, Murata and Corning. The company finished Q3 with about $1 billion in liquidity, aided by a $263.5 million at-the-market raise and tighter capex, guiding full-year capex to $30-$40 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $245-$260 million. The longer runway eases near-term fundraising pressure and supports development and industrialization, including scaling the Cobra separator process and advancing B1 cells. In Q3, QuantumScape invoiced $12.8 million in billings (not revenue), signaling early monetization and growing partner engagement. Risks include scaling performance, converting billings to recurring revenue, and securing future licensing deals. QS has outperformed peers and jumped ~242% YTD, though execution remains key.
