PlayStation Portal remote player<\/a> continues to evolve, with ongoing improvements designed to enhance the way players experience Remote Play and Cloud Streaming.<\/p>\n

Since our last update in November, we\u2019ve seen strong momentum on PS Portal. Cloud Streaming monthly users grew by 162% year-over-year in January, and over 50% of PS Portal users are now PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers \u2013 reflecting growing engagement with the cloud experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As more players discover new ways to play on PS Portal, we remain committed to continuously refining performance and usability. Today, we\u2019re pleased to share some new features and refinements for our PS Portal users.<\/p>\n

Starting today, (March 17 PDT \/ March 18 CET and JST), a new system software update for PS Portal will roll out globally, introducing improvements designed to deliver higher visual fidelity, smoother interactions, and a more seamless overall experience.<\/p>\n

Here are some details of the new features.<\/p>\n

1080p High Quality mode<\/h2>\n

Players can now select a 1080p High Quality mode during Remote Play and Cloud Streaming. This new mode enables players to enjoy games at a higher bitrate compared to the default 1080p Standard mode, providing a smooth and high-fidelity experience.**<\/p>\n
