Cloud Streaming officially arrives on PlayStation Portal today, with new support for digital PS5 Games in your library

Game Ace Pro 0 0

At PlayStation, we’re always working to push the boundaries of how players experience games. Since the PlayStation Portal remote player first launched back in November 2023*, we’ve continued to evolve the device with updates like enhanced public Wi-Fi support and UX improvements.

Last year, we also introduced the Cloud Streaming beta, which allowed PlayStation Plus Premium members to access select PS5 games from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog via Cloud Streaming – without needing to connect to a PS5 console through Remote Play.

Today, we’re excited to share that PS Portal is receiving one of its biggest updates yet. Starting on November 5 at 6pm PT / November 6 at 2am GMT, Cloud Streaming for PS5 Games** officially launches on PS Portal for PlayStation Plus Premium members, along with a variety of new features that enhance how you can play.

(For Southeast Asia) “It Happens on PS5” campaign captures the unexpected and unforgettable moments PS5 has to offer

Game Ace Pro 0 0

We’re approaching the five year anniversary of the PS5 console’s launch, and it’s amazing to see the number of  incredible experiences PS5 has brought to players everywhere – and there are more adventures to come. Through these past five years, our players have shared their reactions of awe, excitement, and surprise at the extraordinary moments  they’ve witnessed while playing PS5. That’s the inspiration for our new ad campaign – we’re capturing the spirit of these moments when the most unexpected and unforgettable experiences happen on PS5.

The video campaign, launching today, will feature three distinct stories:

The Greatest Stunt Jump Ever

Out on PS VR2 this month: VRacer Hoverbike, Audio Trip, Roboquest VR, Shadowgate VR: The Mines of Mythrok

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello again PlayStation gamers.

We just wrapped the very first Flat2VR Studios event focused on our upcoming PlayStation VR2 games. Over the course of the event we highlighted some of your favorite developers, shared behind-the-scenes stories, and most importantly announced what’s next from our studio.

And what’s next is a month that is absolutely packed with content. Two brand new titles were revealed for PlayStation VR2, four are launching throughout November (starting with one you can play today), and one of the most anticipated shooters in VR finally has a launch date.

So let’s kick things off with the first big drop. VRacer Hoverbike is out today on PS VR2, giving you the chance to climb onto a futuristic hoverbike and hit the track. 

VRacer Hoverbike – available today

Start your engines PS VR2 gamers, VRacer Hoverbike is here. A native arcade racer built for VR, it captures the pure sensation of speed inside a headset. Every turn is controlled by leaning your body, matching the movement of your bike on screen, so the rush feels intuitive and physical without any motion sickness.

With 30 tracks, multiple game modes, and online cross-platform multiplayer, there’s plenty to master. And thanks to PS VR2 features like HDR visuals, adaptive triggers, and headset rumble, every race is sharper, smoother, and more immersive than ever. After years of refinement since its initial debut, VRacer Hoverbike has finally found its perfect track on PlayStation. 

Audio Trip – coming November 11

Revealed today for the very first time on PS VR2, Audio Trip turns your play space into your own personal dance floor. Every move is handcrafted by a professional choreographer, so when you catch gems, glide along ribbons, or smash drums, it all flows perfectly with the music. Nothing is randomized or auto-generated. It feels like you’re dancing inside the song.

With more than 120 levels across 32 tracks, plus playlists, cardio routines, and achievements to chase, there’s always a new way to play. And if that’s not enough, the built-in choreography editor lets the community create and share routines, keeping the library fresh with fan-made content.

On PS VR2, the game takes advantage of HDR, headset rumble, and eye-tracked foveated rendering to keep visuals sharp and the beat immersive. Whether you’re here for fitness, flow-state dancing, or just to nail the moves to “Gangnam Style,” Audio Trip delivers rhythm gameplay at its most creative. 

Roboquest VR – launching November 20

One of the biggest VR shooters of the year is finally locked in. Roboquest VR arrives on PS VR2 this November 20, bringing its fast-paced roguelite action to the headset in full force. Step into the role of a Guardian and tear through swarms of enemy machines in a scorched future world built for chaos and experimentation.

With more than 70 weapons to discover, every run is a new chance to unleash something wild. Dual-wield pistols for slick takedowns, charge up rocket blasts, or jump fists-first into melee with high-speed strikes. Levels shift

Players’ Choice: Vote for October 2025’s best new game

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Last month, we sought revenge, conquered the shadows, and stormed the battlefield. Some big new releases included Ghost of Yōtei, Battlefield 6, Ninja Gaiden 4, Ball x Pit, and Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
 

How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. After the polls close we will tally your votes, and announce the winner on our social channels and PlayStation.Blog. 

What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? Note: re-released games don’t qualify, but remakes do. We define remakes as ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds such as Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

How are nominees decided? The PlayStation Blog editorial team will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll.
