PS Portal Direct Cloud Streaming Just Got Its Best Update
One of the best features of Sony’s game streaming device, the PlayStation Portal, is its direct cloud streaming functionality. This allows players to play tons of games without a PS5. The latest PS Portal update brings one of the most popular open-world RPGs to the devices’ cloud streaming beta.
PS Portal update adds Cyberpunk 2077 to cloud streaming
CD Projekt Red’s beloved RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is now supported by PS Portal’s direct cloud streaming feature. As mentioned above, this allows PS Plus members to stream the game without a PS5. Players can simply choose the game and begin playing on the portable device.
Since PS Portal’s cloud streaming functionality is still in beta, there is always a chance that something might not work as intended. With that being said, Cyberpunk 2077 is a huge game to have playable with a feature that is still being tested, so this is a nice surprise for PS Portal users.
It should be noted that Cloud Streaming is only available for PS Plus Premium subscribers, which is the highest tier of Sony’s online gaming service. Extra and Essential members do not have access to this feature. Premium memberships begin at $17.99 a month. However, players who find value in the service’s highest tier can purchase three months for $49.99 or 12 months for $159.99.
This new PS Portal update comes the same day as Cyberpunk 2077’s inclusion in the July 2025 PS Plus Game Catalog lineup. Extra and Premium subscribers can begin their adventure in Night City today. Additionally, players who end up enjoying their time in the neon-soaked landscape can grab its expansion, Phantom Liberty, at a 30% discount.
Sony recently issued a PS Portal update. However, it was a bit underwhelming, as it only improved system software performance and stability, and improved the messages and usability on some screens. So, in comparison, Cyberpunk 2077’s cloud streaming functionality is much more exciting.
