This is the first year I let ps plus expire, had premium last year. Im not into multiplayer. I might re-up premium, hopefully we get some good deals for black friday.

It actually did, it's just that the feature got discontinued very fast (by August 2017).

Another benefit people haven't discussed is that you could use it at home while someone is playing the PS5 (not the same account).

This is really the main benefit to me. Cloud through servers or my own ps5 doesn’t really matter to me. Being able to use the portal and my ps5 though is pretty valuable to me.

could be useful for slower paced games like silent hill and rpgs etc, playing Spider-Man 2 or any action game via streaming just feels off.

Other than not having back buttons it's really a good experience. Ive been using it to play some side quests in Stellar Blade and it's not a struggle with timing or parry
Man, I still remember the subreddit for the portal, everytime someone mentioned the (very real and existent) stutter all the usual suspects would go :
- It's your router
- It's your McDonald's internet
- sucks for you, I don't have any problems whatsoever
Not noticing it would be equal to not perceiving framerate drops.in games, OLED judder in films (and 30fps games), UE shader compilation stutters etc etc...
Not a dig towards you brother but for me and many others the problem was so big that we had to sell our console, but the worst thing ? is/was being called "crazy" and/or hyperbolic by those that couldn't see it.
Consider yourself lucky
For the people who see it does it happen all the time or is something that happens randomly or under different lighting conditions & so on.
If it's as good as streaming from your own PS5 you should be able to play pretty much any type of game

So, do the games running through Cloud Streaming run at PS5 Pro quality?

Eh, I beg to differ.
I'm wrecking in Blops 6 on Portal against PC all the time and getting top player/best plays on a regular basis.
A game like Demon's Souls is completely playable as well, as are other actions games.
Is it as flawless as playing on tv? No.
But some people act like it's difficult to play those kind of games on Portal while it's not.

No. Doubt they'll make any PS5 Pro blades. Doesn't make sense to do so.

Yeah, figured as much.
Not worth it then, imo. Not when I know how much more fluid games play on Portal when the source is running in 120hz/fps.
Edit:
Obviously talking about graphical boosts as well.

I don’t notice it. But I do some cloud streaming and play the switch so it’s not like I expect a buttery smooth 60fps to start with.
All the time, periodically. Because of difference in refresh rates at some point frames aren't properly aligned and it stutters.

I didn't come in this thread because I thought it was a wish post. Was shocked because I've been waiting for this from day 1.
Turn it on and there is no update for me.

PS streaming (PSNOW) was horrible back in the day when they tried it with gaiki. Assuming infrastructure wasn't there yet.
Mine didn't even work that well with cable. Picked up fiber and couple years ago and huge difference.

The stutter is noticeable, the question is whether or not it bothers you.
I notice it, but imo the experience is fluid despite of the stutter.
For others, it's a deal-breaker.

I believe this is out now. Anyone tried it yet? Im too tired to grab my Portal tnite so pls update!

The stutter is really bad for me when I play eafc (cannot replicate it with chiaki on deck) but not noticeable or barely in single player games.

Just streamed dying light 2 from the cloud. I'm also working so I don't have enough time, but I could not reproduce the usual portal stuttering in the 3 minutes I tried. Take this with a grain of salt as more testing is required. For the record, the stuttering has always been very obvious to me.

Huh, never got to know about that feature, since I only got mine a few years ago.

I've seen others say it's been fixed aswell. I can't confirm as I never noticed it.

This would mean that if true, it should be possible for Sony to solve the stutter through RP, right?
Or am I missing something?
Several people on reeee also saying that stutters are fixed on regular remote play, so there is a hope.

Oh really? I didn't notice it yesterday? When did the update go out?
Seems like a few hours ago.

I just played Doom Eternal and TLOU for the last couple hours. Looked smooth as can be. Ran at 1080p and is based on your speed.
Overall fantastic so far.

Well, I'll be damned fucked, apparently they did fix the micro stutter...AND IT ONLY TOOK THEM 1 YEARRRR !111!!
Fucking unbelievable man, the things these companies get away with...The "release it now, fix it later" motto is truer than ever these days, it's literally inexcusable...
Of course, they waited until another money-maker feature could be introduced (cloud streaming/needing a 120€ sub) 'cause fuck normal users, am I right ? They only had to wait 1 year !
Anyway, I sold the damned thing 1 month ago having waited 7 months for them to fix it, my 12.4" Tab s9+ will serve me well - if not better - compared to the Portal.
Shame about the lack of Dualsense haptics/vibration but I'm using my DS connected directly to the PS5 as to remedy that so...
I'm almost curious to read the comments from the usual non tech savvy bootlickers on the subreddit, if I were to guess it'll be the usual denial in the form of "lol, it was never there to begin with"/"Never had the stutter, happy for you though" etc etc...
Either way, enjoy GAFers, they finally fixed it so I suppose that's something

In hindsight, this was kinda obvious wasn't it

What is the business case for Playstation Portal requiring a PS5?
It seems quite clear that since the Portal can stream from PS5 over Wi-Fi, it should be able to stream games from remote servers. This can currently be done to PCs and PS5/PS4 afaik. The games are usually streamed in PS4 quality. It is thus obvious that Sony is intentionally limiting the...

Well, I initially noticed improvement in the stutter, but then tried Diablo and noticed some stuttering, could be the game itself however. I tried Horizon and Callisto Protocol and both seemed alot better. Still occasional hitches but could be local issues.
Most impressive was cloud streaming, it felt even smoother than local play which is mental. Tried Dredge and Ghost of Tsushima, fantastic, looks extremely crip and if there is significant input delay I didnt feel it. Impressive tech.
Few things a bit weird like when Trophies pop you dont get any details just says x trophy achieved. also no PS menu when playing games. Interestingly it says PS3 games arent available but resistance shows up. Odd.

Sony needs to release a Portal Pro, OLED with HDR at €350.
If possible for that price 120hz as well.

Is this limited to PS+ games, or can you stream purchases from the cloud too?
