Playstation Portal – The ULTIMATE play guide (UPDATED)



What a Playstation Portal is really capable of & how to do it all.

The Playstation Portal went nuclear with the last update, unlocking the ability to stream directly from the cloud. With that update came a number of new possibilities and ways to play the Portal. This video explains everything you can now do including couch co-op, online multiplayer, account sharing and what kind of PSN accounts you need to do it all with.

If I have portal and ps5 how can the wife and I play GTA 5 together?
@philmarriner5300 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Many thanks for this plain and simple guide, much appreciated as I am new to he PS Portal having used a Backbone with iPhone 12 before.

Could anyone help me with this query please. I'm considering getting a portal for my son for his birthday. The ps5 and ps plus subscription are mine. If I were to upgrade my subscription from essential to premium, would he be able to stream the premium catalogue through his free playstation account, which is on my ps5? For now he has access to my ps plus games that I download when he's playing on his free account. Would this be the case if he wanted access to the premium catalogue through the ps portal, or would he need his own ps premium account? Asking mainly because I don't like the idea of my ps5 constantly running whenever he would be using the portal while at his Mum's. That and I also have concerns over the quality of the portal streaming when he's not at mine and has to use his Mum's wifi, although my ps5 is connected to an ethernet cable. Thanks.

If I have a PS5 Pro with a lot of disc based games, does the disc need to be loaded into the console while I want to play it over an internet connection? Like would I need to have someone in the house swap the disc for me to play a different game. I just have a standard PS account, without PS Plus.
@attackofthemarshall9261 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Forgive my ignorance but could you play a coop game together? One account on the portable through the cloud and the other on a different account on console? Games such as Helldivers 2, Apex, Destiny 2, etc.
@macairhead5137 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Maybe this doesn’t work in every region (though I wouldn’t know why not), but several people have successfully tested that you can use the same premium + account on a portal and an online PS5 at the same time, as long as the PS5 player plays a PS4 (version of a) game. Can you confirm if this works? That would change the info in the video.
@sirinchanchan2708 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
So as far as I understand, I can also play online multiplayer games through cloud streaming on the portal? And this is also possible with the Extra Subscription when the games being downloaded before?
@jamesmccarthy.676 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
What if I want to play fifa 25 on the portal. Note I don’t own a PlayStation.
@jason.-_-.gam3s February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
If I dont have a ps5 and I buy a portal, Can I set it up for cloud gaming only? Will it work?
@harry_loves_the_arsenal February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
So my son has a ps5 it has my account active on it from when I used to play ps4 we both have a profile on there if I was to upgrade the subscription on the ps5 to premium would I be able to stream the online games via beta catalog on the portal while he is playing online with his friends using the ps5 console sorry long story short can you use one premium subscription to play ps5 online multiplayer and portal beta catalog at the same time ?? Thanks
@driftkid180 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Had 2 of them already, maybe now it’ll be worth getting now
@anyonebutyou87 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Do you still have the ability to play split screen/multiplayer games? We didn’t get the beta update in Australia but want to be able to play cod black ops with the partner.
@liammilford2526 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Excellent video. Very informative and straight to the point. I’ve now purchased one since watching your video.
@geminihero February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
OK so I have a question are you on a PlayStation 4 and all of my games are digital downloads now I’ve been thinking of buying a PlayStation five but there’s not a lot of games I want to play that are free to play and I just don’t see paying $500 or more for a new consult… when my PlayStation 4 still has some life in it, so if I wanted to play a PlayStation five downloadable game, would it be beneficial to buy a portal?….. or could I somehow use it with my downloadable, PlayStation 4 games…. that were digitally download it since I have a PlayStation account?
@MelinsRCTech February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
This is awesome! So if my son has dead space remake downloaded on his ps5 console and he plays fortnite online I can play dead space on my portal at the same time streaming from his console logged in as a user with my account?
@SoHumbleMeh February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Why can’t I play YouTube
@Guttesen1992 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Can you watch on netflix / streaming apps on PS5 console while you are playing on the Portal?
@alamoproductions6618 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Do you know if I can use cloud gaming on two portals? My son on his account and my portal on my account? Or does it limit cloud gaming to one account..
@OrlandoH1 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Still a little lost. If I want to take the portal out of my home and play on a wifi outside of my home can I access online play with my friends of all my regular ps5 games?
@macairhead5137 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
I’m confused. Four portals connecting to the same console as glorified controllers to play a game like ‘Overcooked’ should work, no? To eliminate turning the TV on when we have guests, but the kids can still play the PS5?
@hritiksethi764 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
can we use playstation portal to play fc25 coop season online ?
@alucardcroft2975 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Maybe I'm asking for too much however, what would make the portal better is if we could download 1 digital game you've purchased onto the portal so online function isn't required.
@danieldevito6380 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Can someone tell me what game is being played in the TV at 3:33?
@danieldevito6380 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Just got a Portal a few days ago and haven't been able to put it didn't. The convenience is just amazing.

How can I play fortnight with my girlfriend on my own account using my ps5 and my girlfriend using a portal
@berto7739 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
My sister has a ps5 with PlayStation plus premium but I only have the portal with a regular account… how can I do it to stream games trough cloud with my sister premium account ?
@mikeprime5028 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Portal is terrible on remote play it will crash and you gotta check your ps5 to see what's wrong and fix it . Streaming off the catalog is a much better choice
@Thesndwtchlvvr February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Quick question! So I’m on my way to Florida for work and was thinking on buying the ps portal would I be able to connect to my account and play old gen games like bully.
@russellpye9382 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
Just picked up portal today it's awesome just need more games on Cloud streaming for it but other then that it's awesome
@williamscollege101 February 18, 2025 - 8:16 pm
