New Delhi: Sony has recently releases an update for its most popular PlayStation Portal remote players, by adding cloud streaming for the PS5 titles and by redesigning the user interface.

Highlighted, this is not for the Indian users as the PS Plus Premium plan is not available in the country.
This latest update expands how users can play PS5 games without relying on the console connection.
