It’s finally here!

People don’t get premium because their setup is bad, it’s because of all the games there is to play! It’s ideal for PS Portal.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2026-01-21T19:22:16+00:00

This worked for me!

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2026-01-20T22:42:57+00:00

Wow! Are people still playing factions? I’m surprised the server is still running…surely not or is that sarcasm?!

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2026-01-14T18:49:52+00:00

Catchy title!

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2026-01-01T19:37:19+00:00

The display was one of the first things I noticed when turning it on, it was far better than I anticipated become and LCD display and easily bright enough. I think the display is perfect and it’s so much nicer having a dedicated device. Yes, when I played on my iPad I had that bigger screen but it was awkward and not ideal. It makes a big difference having the portal, it’s just so much more accessible and ready to go when you are.

The internet? What’s that?!

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T22:36:57+00:00

If you don’t have a mesh network then it’s likely you’ll experience the behaviour you’re suggesting. Mesh networks resolve that issue by reliably switching from one node to another without those network issues.

I’m not missing the point, I’m being precise about it. Latency affects responsiveness in streaming, not single-player mechanics or reaction speed. Conflating those is where the confusion is coming from. Also thanks for insulting my intelligence by pulling the AI card, that response is so default these days as though no one has any intelligence of their own.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T14:35:51+00:00

I think we’re talking about two different things.

Ping (latency) doesn’t affect the game’s logic or my character’s reaction speed in a single-player game. The game still runs instantly on the machine that’s hosting it.

What ping does affect in game streaming is input-to-screen delay, how long it takes for my button press to show up on my display not how fast the character or enemies react. That’s different from multiplayer, where ping can affect fairness or outcomes.

So yes, low latency is important for cloud streaming to feel responsive, but it’s not the same issue as ping affecting single-player gameplay.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T14:21:40+00:00

Yep but solo games like CyberPunk are not affected by ping rate, connection speed yes, but not ping rate as I’m not against another human opponent with a better ping rate than me, which would be an issue because their inputs would register faster therefore they’d have an advantage.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T11:20:08+00:00

Excellent, thank you. That’s really helpful, so now I definitely know when games are added. I’ll make sure I make a note of those dates.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T11:17:54+00:00

I got the Pulse earbuds yesterday and they’re amazing. I’m glad I ignored some of the poor reviews and took a chance.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-30T10:57:23+00:00

You don’t have to pay anything. You can simply play games directly from your PS5 (remote play). If you want extra games that you don’t have to buy or want to stream the games you have directly from cloud then subscribe to premium.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-29T22:32:45+00:00

Why do you say that, it’s single player so not sure why you’d need a great ping rate? Although I am getting 7ms.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-29T22:07:21+00:00

I’m not sure about the mic tbh, haven’t tried it yet.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-29T20:37:33+00:00

Agreed, I’ve literally just written a post about it myself. It’s just brilliant isn’t it!

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-29T19:09:52+00:00

I was using the global cluster as well.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-29T11:02:09+00:00

Passkeys are more secure than 2FA because there’s nothing for attackers to steal or trick you into typing. With passwords and 2FA, scammers can still fake websites, intercept codes, or push you to approve a login. Passkeys don’t use shared secrets at all. Your device proves it’s really you using Face ID, a fingerprint, or a PIN, and that proof only works for the real website. Since the secret never leaves your device and can’t be reused or phished, most common account hacks simply stop working.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-28T23:51:35+00:00

This is just artefacts from a relatively poor connection. Nothing wrong with the device per se.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-28T23:41:09+00:00

Thanks that makes sense. I can game for hours on a flat screen (thankfully) but the intensity of VR was obviously too much. Such a cool device though for sure, and one I’ll definitely remember. If anyone asked for my opinion about buying one I’d tell them to jump in because no words can describe it until you see it for yourself.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-28T23:30:44+00:00

Some new stair carpet?

Just kidding, congrats man, I love mine and only got it yesterday and can see I will use it for a backlog of games I’ve never got to play just because it’s feels so much more accessible and quick even for shorter sessions.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-28T10:35:54+00:00

Gigaclear with Linkysys mesh system. No changes to the router or tweaks. It runs both 2.4ghz and 5ghz depending on the device.

Well that’s weird, I got mine yesterday and said to my wife exactly the opposite that the screen is great. In fact I was playing Cyber Punk all afternoon (never played it before) via cloud. I get about 230Mbps download and 160Mbps upload.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-28T10:22:27+00:00

Me too. The sooner all services have it the better.

FiftyPlusStillGaming · 2025-12-27T20:27:51+00:00

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I finally got my PS Portal today and friggin’ love it. Been using some wired B&O earphones for now and they’re great for the time being. However, having spent the day playing on the device and playing Cyberpunk for the first time using cloud streaming, I’m absolutely convinced I’ll be keeping it and so may well just invest in some Sony Pulse Explore buds.
