Also new features!

Redesigned User Interface

A refreshed home screen now features three tabs: Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, and Search.

  • Remote Play Home Screen – Connect to a PlayStation 5 console paired with the PlayStation Portal to enjoy games installed on that console. A PlayStation Plus membership is not required for Remote Play.
  • Cloud Streaming Home Screen – A new dedicated home screen for Cloud Streaming allows PlayStation Plus Premium members to instantly stream a range of compatible PlayStation 5 games without waiting for downloads.
  • Search Screen – Quickly look up any game that supports Cloud Streaming. If you don’t have the entitlement to stream a game, a QR code will be displayed to direct you to the PlayStation App or to a web browser on another device.

New features for remote play and cloud streaming include:

  • 3D Audio Support – 3D Audio is now available during Remote Play and Cloud Streaming on supported games, when using a compatible audio device. Immerse yourself in spatial sound with wired headphones or a compatible PlayStation Link wireless audio device such as the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds and Pulse Elite wireless headset.
  • Passcode Lock – Protect your device by setting a passcode on your PlayStation Portal.
    • To set a passcode, go to Settings > System > Passcode.
  • Network Status Screen – A stable internet connection is essential to ensure the best experience on PlayStation Portal. You can now quickly check your connection quality with an easy-to-access status view.
    • During Cloud Streaming or Remote Play, open the Quick menu and go to Troubleshoot > Show Network Status.

New features for cloud streaming include:

  • In-Game Store – In-game purchases are now supported during Cloud Streaming. You can purchase add-on items and in-game currencies without leaving your game session, and receive benefits instantly.
    • Just like before, you can also make in-game purchases during a Remote Play session.
  • Accessibility Options – Enable new accessibility options during Cloud Streaming, such as screen reader and adjustable text size.
    • Go to Settings > Cloud Streaming > Accessibility Settings for Cloud Streaming.
    • These settings will only apply to select screens during Cloud Streaming. You can continue to access the PlayStation 5 console’s settings menu to adjust accessibility settings during Remote Play.
  • Game Invitations – Receive game invites from friends that are playing the same game during Cloud Streaming, and join a multiplayer session directly from the Quick menu.
