PlayStation Portal owners can now stream their games from the cloud, Sony has announced. After rolling out a beta version last year, the updated version of Cloud Streaming will allow PS Plus Premium members to play a massively expanded selection of games on the device, and it won't require them to connect to a PS5 console through Remote Play.

At the time of writing, there are 2,845 games that support PS Portal Cloud Streaming. This includes several of Sony's biggest first-party titles like Ghost of Yotei and Astro Bot, alongside third-party titles like Borderlands 4 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Games from the PS Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog are compatible as well, and Sony has introduced a new home screen that features three tabs to help distinguish between the various modes: Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, and Search.

Remote Play requires a PS5 console paired to a PS Portal so that installed games can be streamed directly from the system onto the handheld. This mode doesn't require a PS Plus Premium membership, but Cloud Streaming does. The search option will let users look up any game that supports Cloud Streaming.

A new trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has arrived, and it's pretty spooky. The sequel to the 2023 film based on the popular game takes place one year after the events of the first movie.

"Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike's 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends," reads a line from the film's description. "But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades."

Theodus Crane returns as Jeremiah, with Matthew Lillard also coming back to reprise his character, William Afton. The film adds new cast members as well, including Jurassic Park's Wayne Knight, Annabelle Comes Home's Mckenna Grace, and Scream star Skeet Ulrich.

Nintendo enjoyed enormous success with 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, so it was no surprise to learn that Nintendo quickly got to work on a sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, with a live-action Zelda movie also in the works. Now, Nintendo has teased even more Nintendo movies may be on the way, while the company has also outlined its general philosophy for movies going forward.

As part of Nintendo's latest earnings briefing, the company said it was working to build a "framework for a consistent release cadence" for films based on its properties. This includes The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in 2026, the live-action Zelda movie in 2027, and more films to come after.

"We are continuing to prepare for the ongoing release of movies in the future," Nintendo said. None were named outright, but it was previously suggested that a standalone Donkey Kong movie could be in the works. Nintendo has a deep roster of popular characters and franchises, but only time will tell which will get adapted into film properties.

Hotel Barcelona: Collector's Edition

$120 | Releases April 17, 2026

Preorder at Amazon

Hotel Barcelona Standard Edition

$30 | Now available

See at Amazon

There has been no shortage of unique games this year, but one of the strangest has definitely been Hotel Barcelona, the latest project from Suda51 and Swery, which puts a new spin on "grindhouse" horror. The 2.5D side-scrolling roguelike tasks players with surviving in a hotel full of serial killers inspired by '80s slasher flicks. It's a wild premise befitting the legacies of its creators, and fans who want to experience it for themselves can pick it up now on PC and console--including a $30 physical version available for PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, there's also an upcoming $120 Collector's Edition launching on April 17, 2026 that's packed with tons of collectibles and other extras. Preorders for the Hotel Barcelona: Collector's Edition are now live at Amazon. There's no preorder bonus, it's probably wise to secure your copy soon if you plan to add this one to your collection, as collector's editions tend to sell out quickly.

The Hotel Barcelona: Collector's Edition comes with a physical edition of the game, as well as several physical extras, including a vintage-styled horror poster, a concept art book, and a "bloody ear" souvenir that is thankfully not real. It's all contained inside a display box designed to look like the titular hotel. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Hotel Barcelona: Collector's Edition are now available to preorder for $120 at Amazon.

Hotel Barcelona launched on September 26 to mixed reviews. That's a common trend with games developed by Suda51 and Swery; however, their titles tend to become cult classics thanks to their memorable characters and unique spins on familiar gameplay genres. While critics have noted that Hotel Barcelona can be a frustrating roguelike, others have complimented it for its slasher-movie vibes, tight combat, and bizarre setting.
