PlayStation Portal Pre-Orders Now Open Ahead of the Remote Play Device’s November Launch

PlayStation Plus Premium members will finally be able to take advantage of PlayStation 5 cloud streaming when the feature becomes widely available later this month. 

Starting today, we’re taking a step forward in cloud gaming by rolling out our PS5 cloud streaming feature for PlayStation Plus Premium members. This includes supported PS5-native games available through the PlayStation Plus Games Catalog* and Game Trials, as well as supported digital PS5 titles you own. 

Two months after PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers began receiving invites to a PlayStation 5 cloud streaming beta, Sony has announced the feature will be getting its full launch on on 23rd October in Europe and 30th October in the US.

PlayStation 5 cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will launch on October 17 in Japan, October 23 in Europe, and October 30 in North America, allowing users to play PlayStation 5 games without having to download them, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced.

Since launching the all-new PlayStation Plus more than a year ago, we’ve seen such high engagement from our fans on our offerings – from the quality titles offered in the Game Catalog like Horizon Forbidden West and Sea of Stars, to new trophy features we’ve added to classic games like Legend of Dragoon and Syphon Filter. 

This preview of The Bikeriders comes from the film’s European premiere at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival. The film will be released in December.

PlayStation has launched the Sony Pictures Core app on PS4 and PS5, which allows users to buy and rent Sony films from their consoles.

The new Sony Pictures Core will give PS Plus Premium and Deluxe subscribers access to a curated list of films to stream.

Lenovo officially announced its entry into the world of gaming handhelds only a few months ago, and already its Legion Go is shaping up to be a competitor worthy of going toe-to-toe with some of the most popular devices available today. And now, finally, the Lenovo Legion Go, is available for pre-orders, so it won’t be long until we can see if the PC gaming handheld is truly worth the hype.

The PlayStation Portal was a surprise for fans. This is a new handheld coming from Sony, and it certainly might have raised some eyebrows initially. Sony had dabbled in the past when it came to delivering handheld gaming devices into the marketplace. We’ve seen the PlayStation Portable along with its eventual successor, the PlayStation Vita. But since then, Sony has refrained from going further with a new handheld device. That was until they unveiled the PlayStation Portal in May of this year. However, it’s not quite the same type of handheld as Sony’s previous attempts.

As a remote play-only device that will stream PS5 titles over WiFi, the PlayStation Portal hasn’t come across as a device that’s going to have a ton of mass market appeal, though in the build up to its launch over a month from now, it seems to be attracting a fair bit of interest- particularly in Japan.

Glee-Cheese and Team17 Digital have today announced preorders are live for rhythm-based battle royale Headbangers Rhythm Royale on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows Store. Launching on 31st October and coming to Xbox Game Pass for Xbox and PC, Headbangers Rhythm Royale invites players to tap, flap, and rap their way to victory in a series of manic musical mini games against 29 other player-controlled pigeons, competing for the title of Master Headbanger.
