Fresh off the back of the PSSR update for PS5 Pro, Sony is about to release another big update, only this time for the PlayStation Portal. The new PlayStation Portal update has a March 17 release date for US users, or March 18 release date for fans living in Europe. The headline new feature is the addition of a new 1080p High Quality setting, which should result in « higher visual fidelity, smoother interactions, and a more seamless overall experience ».
The new 1080p High Quality mode is available during Remote Play and Cloud Streaming. It allows PlayStation Portal users to enjoy games at a higher bitrate compared to the standard 1080p mode.
To activate the mode, fans should visit [Quick Menu] > [Max Resolution] and select [1080p High Quality] during Remote Play or Cloud Streaming.
It’s also worth noting that you’ll need to restart the console in order for the changes to show up.
As you can see from the PlayStation Portal patch notes below, the upcoming update refines the Cloud Streaming experience, and also speeds up the sign up process.
