Sony has announced a new PS Portal<\/strong><\/a> firmware update will roll out worldwide starting today that adds a new graphical option to improve visuals, and a refinement of the cloud streaming experience.<\/p>\n

Having downloaded the system patch, the PS Portal will have access to a new 1080p High Quality mode. This lets PS5 games look better on the handheld device, prioritising “a smooth and high-fidelity experience”. Titles will run at a higher bitrate compared to the 1080p Standard mode to achieve the effect.<\/p>\n

From the Quick Menu, you’ll want to select the Max Resolution setting and then pick 1080p High Quality.<\/p>\n

As for the cloud streaming feature on PS Portal, it too has been improved in this firmware update. From the PS Blog post<\/a>, you can expect the following:<\/p>\n

\n
Improved Product Detail Page<\/dt>\n
When you select \u201cStream\u201d on the product detail pages of game bundles, a new UI will show up, allowing you to select a specific game to play from that bundle.<\/dd>\n
Game Invite<\/dt>\n
If you\u2019re actively streaming a supported title and receive game invites, you\u2019ll now see a clear on-screen notification on PS Portal, ensuring you never miss an invitation while playing.<\/dd>\n
Enhanced Trophy notifications<\/dt>\n
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.<\/dd>\n
Improved Search screen<\/dt>\n
The search interface has been refined for a smoother experience, such as the On Screen Keyboard display being available immediately when going into search.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

\"PS<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony reveals it continues to see “strong momentum” for PS Portal. Over 50% of PS Portal users subscribe to PS Plus Premium<\/strong><\/a> to access the cloud streaming feature, and monthly users of it have grown 162% year-over-year in January.<\/p>\n
