PlayStation's handheld will finally support dedicated game streaming—and with another portable playing device supposedly inbound, can Sony make cloud gaming take off? If it can't, who else can?

Recent reports of a new PlayStation handheld device have reminded me of how much I love the Portal but still yearn for a standalone device.

The update, which is now available to all users, includes a beta version of cloud streaming support for the Portal. This means if you pay for PlayStation Plus Premium you'll be able to access PS5 games in the catalogue on your Portal device — without having to own a PS5 or lug around your console. (Notably, PS4 and PS3 games are not supported.)
