Sony has quietly launched the PS Portal system software update 4.0.1, which promises some vague performance boosts and the ever-reliable stability enhancements. Yet, players are already picking up on some positive modifications, such as better cloud streaming capabilities.
In terms of the official patch notes for the PS Portal update today, here’s what’s been listed:
– We’ve enhanced system software performance and stability.
– We’ve enhanced messaging and usability on certain screens.
Now, when it comes to the unofficial patch notes, a few forum users on Reddit have observed that they can now use the PS button on the device to access the menu instead of needing to swipe. However, a handful of people noted that this feature seems available only when they’re using cloud streaming. Interestingly, players can also now exit cloud streaming by using the Home button.
On the subject of cloud streaming, gamers have reported that the recent update has rectified issues they encountered when streaming specific titles like Watch Dogs: Legion and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Previously, some users were unable to launch these games, a problem that appears to have been resolved.
Currently, PS Portal’s direct cloud streaming remains in its beta phase but has drawn significant praise from the gaming community. The feature operates smoothly, allowing players to enjoy games without the need for a PS5 console.
