PlayStation Portal is getting cloud streaming today

The PlayStation Portal is getting cloud streaming, with a beta for the service launching today in select countries.

The streaming service will allow PlayStation Plus Premium members to play a selection of 120 PS5 games including Dave the Diver, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Monster Hunter Rise, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

The streaming games playable on PS Portal are limited to PlayStation 5 games, with PS3 and PS4 games not currently supported. It’s not clear if this will change when the feature comes out of its beta test period and gets a full release.

Games will be streamed in 1080p and 60 fps, and will include all DualSense wireless controller features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, speakers and touchpad (emulated on the touch screen for PS Portal).

A new PlayStation Portal update releases later today, featuring:
