There’s no PS4 or PS Portal system update accompanying today’s PS5 update even though usability improvements are typically rolled out across all devices simultaneously.
Speaking of Portal, the handheld hasn’t received a system update since June even though further improvements are long overdue. Additionally, PS Portal’s direct cloud streaming function has been in beta for quite some time now, but there’s no word from Sony regarding a full rollout.
