Sony has a long list of every title supported, which stretches to more than 2,800 games.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Of course, this isn&#8217;t a new idea \u2014 and cloud streaming via the PlayStation Portal has already been available to some users for almost a year in beta form. But today the feature launches officially, and Sony is keen to highlight the different play possibilities that Portal offers.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Having a Portal as well as a PS5 doesn&#8217;t just let you stream games while playing on the toilet. Using the handheld device, you can also play a game together with a friend who&#8217;s using your main TV and PS5 setup. Or, play a game while someone else uses the TV to watch KPop Demon Hunters for the umpteenth time on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Additionally, cloud streaming leaves beta with a handful of all-new features attached: 3D Audio Support, a passcode lock, a network status screen, game invites, accessibility options, and the ability to make in-game purchases while cloud streaming.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Interested? PlayStation Portal is priced at $199, and comes in either white or black colors. The device is &#8220;the best PlayStation 5 Remote Play solution available,&#8221; according to IGN&#8217;s PlayStation Portal review.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
