The PlayStation Portal was announced as a device for remotely playing games from your PS5 console — no matter where you might be. But a question on a lot of peoples’ minds is why there’s no cloud gaming functionality, especially with PlayStation Plus’s recent push back into that area. Well apparently it is possible, Sony just hasn’t added that feature yet.
Hideaki Nishino, SVP of platform experience at PlayStation, told AV Watch that the PlayStation Portal is theoretically capable of streaming from the cloud. After all, Nishino confirmed that the only major difference between remote and cloud streaming is that Sony owns the machine your game is running on.
