PS Portal Players Enable Couch Co-Op With Simple Trick
PS Portal players are using the handheld for couch co-op with a simple trick that we didn’t think of before. Those with a PS Plus Premium membership can now turn every online co-op game into local co-op, thanks to direct cloud streaming, which just left beta.
Online games can be turned into a couch co-op game with PS Portal and a PS5
As highlighted by Reddit user Tsasuki, a PS5 user can download a game on the console and let their co-op partner sign in with their PSN account to access the game. Then, the player with PS Plus Premium membership can cloud stream the same game on their PS Portal.
Yes, this means only one person needs a Premium membership, and a single copy of a game will do. This way, both players can partner up in virtually any multiplayer or online co-op game, but in the same vicinity — one with a Portal and the other with a DualSense controller in their hand.
Frankly, I didn’t think of this before until I saw this Reddit post, and I’ll certainly be trying this out myself. The only issue I can think of is a potential lag for the user who’s cloud streaming, but it shouldn’t be a huge problem.
Have any of our readers tried this?
