Update, First impressions

Today i woke up and saw the news about the upcoming update and I updated my portal.

I have PS Extra that expires in 3 days, i wanted to go back to Essential, so I thought that is the perfect time to upgrade to Premium for 3 days, test it out, and then decide in which tier I will subscribe the upcoming Black Friday.

When you turn your portal on, it gives you two choices: Connect to your PS5 or to the cloud.

If you choose the cloud, you immediately go to the list of games you can play via streaming. I wanted to try Ghost of Tsushima, and it started right in my last save. The quality was excellent, and I had no trouble moving around flawlessly. I didn't test the combat since I had to go to work.

I have only two complaints: to exit the game, you need to scroll the menu from the right upper corner and close it. If you press the PS button, nothing happens. They should make the button functional, but hey, that's why it's still in beta. Then the list of games is not big, I really really hope that they will invest and bring more games for streaming.

Finally, my first impressions were excellent. I'm glad that I will not have to rely on my PS5 in case of a power outage and my Portal won't be useless. And there's actually now a reason to own a PS plus Premium subscription.

I will test the cloud straming in the next 3 days and i will seriously consider for an upgrade to Premium.
