 Sony is rolling out a firmware update for its PlayStation Portal handheld that introduces a new quality option for both Remote Play and Cloud Streaming. Choosing the 1080p High Quality mode means that you'll be able to stream games at a higher bitrate compared with the 1080p Standard option.
You can switch to this mode by going to Quick Menu Max Resolution and picking 1080p High Quality while you're playing a game. You'll need to restart your game session for the change to take effect. Naturally, 1080p High Quality will use more data than the other resolution options.
Sony says that more than half of all Portal users are now PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, meaning they can use the Cloud Streaming option on the device. With that in mind, the company is making some Cloud Streaming changes as part of this firmware update.
The company says it has refined the search screen — from now on, whenever you open this up, the on screen keyboard will pop up immediately. That's a nice little quality-of-life update that streamlines things a bit. When you pick the "stream" option on pages for game bundles (i.e. for any title that includes multiple games), you'll be able to select a specific game to jump into.
