On March 18th, Sony will release a new software update for the PlayStation Portal. This update will include a higher quality 1080p mode and make the overall experience smoother and more user-friendly.
Get the details below.
Remote Play and Cloud Streaming now offer a 1080p High Quality option. This improves the visual experience by streaming games with a higher bitrate, resulting in smoother gameplay and better graphics compared to the standard 1080p setting.
- To enable the mode, go to [Quick Menu] > [Max Resolution] and select [1080p High Quality] during Remote Play or Cloud Streaming.
- You can apply the change by restarting the Remote Play / Cloud Streaming session.
Refined Cloud Streaming experience
We’ve made several improvements to Cloud Streaming to make it easier to use and more seamless.
- Improved Product Detail Page – When you select “Stream” on the product detail pages of game bundles, a new user interface will show up, allowing you to select a specific game to play from that bundle.
- Game Invite – If you’re actively streaming a supported title and receive game invites, you’ll now see a clear on-screen notification on PlayStation Portal, ensuring you never miss an invitation while playing.
- Enhanced Trophy Notifications – Trophy notifications now clearly display the trophy name and associated image when unlocked. Platinum trophies will also feature their special animation, bringing greater visibility and celebration to your achievements.
- Improved Search Screen – The search interface has been refined for a smoother experience, such as the On Screen Keyboard display being available immediately when going into search.
Smoother Onboarding Experience
Creating a PlayStation account is now simpler than before. A redesigned interface and easy setup process let you quickly sign up and connect your PlayStation Portal by simply scanning a QR code with your phone.
