Starting November 5th at 6PM PT / 9PM ET, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will be able to stream select PS5 titles directly from the cloud. The update also introduces a refreshed menu layout featuring three tabs — Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, and Search making navigation much simpler.

In total, there are over 2,000 games available for cloud streaming at launch — giving gamers massive flexibility in how they play.
New Features Coming to the PS Portal
Beyond cloud streaming, the PlayStation Portal is also receiving several new upgrades. These include:
