PS Portal Gets Massive Update With Improved Cloud Streaming

A major PS Portal system software update will roll out today, April 9, that brings UX and cloud game streaming (beta) enhancements. The update will also add the ability to sort games alongside support for gameplay captures.

PS Portal system software update patch notes for April 9, 2025

Patch details for today’s PS Portal update are as follows:

Sort: You can now sort games in the Cloud Streaming catalog screen. There will be a new sort icon added to the top left corner, allowing you to sort games by: Recently added to PS Plus (default), Name, and Release date.
Capture gameplay: The Create button on your PS Portal will now be enabled during a Cloud Streaming session. Here is what you can do:
– Press once: Display the create menu
– Press and hold: Take a screenshot
– Press twice: Start/finish recording a video clip
Queue: You can now wait for your turn to play when the streaming server is full. The estimated wait time will be displayed on screen, and the game session will automatically start as soon as it’s your turn.
Pause: During a Cloud Streaming game session, gameplay will now pause in the following situations:
– Gameplay will pause when you open the PS Portal quick menu. You can open the quick menu by pressing the PS button, swiping left from the top right corner of your screen, or tapping the quick menu icon from the status bar.
– When you press the power button once, PS Portal will be put into rest mode and the game will be paused. You can un-pause and get back to your game play by pressing the power button again. If PS Portal remains in rest mode for more than 15 seconds, the cloud streaming session will be disconnected.
– Gameplay will also pause when a system error message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Notification of inactivity: You will now receive a system notification when your streaming session is about to close due to inactivity of over 10 minutes.
User feedback screen: We have added a user feedback screen at the end of the streaming sessions to rate the quality of your streaming experience.
