Sony has quietly introduced PS Portal’s system software update 4.0.1. While the company hasn’t shared specific details, the update is said to deliver performance enhancements and better stability. Gamers are already noticing some appealing improvements, particularly in cloud streaming.
### PS Portal Software Update 4.0.1 Details (December 12, 2024)
Here’s what the official patch notes from today’s PS Portal update reveal:
– Enhanced system software performance and stability.
– Improved messages and usability on select screens.
On the unofficial side, Reddit users have pointed out that they can now access the menu using the PS button on the handheld, instead of swiping. However, it seems this is only functional while cloud streaming for some. The update also allows players to exit cloud streaming with the Home button, simplifying the process.
Regarding cloud streaming, the update appears to have resolved previous issues with some titles like Watch Dogs: Legion and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Players who previously ran into problems starting these games are now reporting successful launches.
Though still in its beta phase, PS Portal’s direct cloud streaming has garnered positive feedback from the community. It performs impressively, providing a convenient way to play without the need for a PS5 console.
