Sony Interactive Entertainment is quietly developing PlayStation Portal System Update 2.0.6, and a significant number of players report that the quality of their videos has improved significantly. It's unclear what exactly Sony changed here, as nothing was revealed in the official patch notes.
The latest PlayStation Portal system update reportedly does not fix stuttering issues
The official patch notes for PlayStation Portal update 2.0.6 include Sony's standard language: “System software performance and stability improvements.” However, players testing the handheld are reporting their results on Reddit.
One user wrote, “Video quality and bitrate is night and day and is getting better.” “Even in the most demanding games, you can see every detail perfectly without getting pixelated.” Another user said they tried Final Fantasy 7, Uncharted, Madden, and Guardians of the Galaxy However, there are no problems with the image quality and “they look great”. However, some games still tend to stutter a little.
Regarding stuttering, some users expressed similar opinions, while others said they did not notice any changes at all.
Sony says those launching PlayStation Portal for the first time will need to run through a series of updates in succession, rather than simply downloading the latest patch.
