How Can I Make My PS Plus Stream Better?

As a gamer, you want to ensure that your PS Plus stream runs smoothly and efficiently. This requires some tweaks and settings optimization to get the most out of your streaming experience. In this article, we will guide you on the steps to take your PS Plus stream to the next level.

Understanding Your Internet Connection

The foundation of a good streaming setup is a reliable internet connection. Check your network speed by using speed testing tools like Ookla or Speedtest. PS Plus recommends a minimum broadband speed of 5Mbps for streaming, and the faster the better.

Optimize Your Wireless Connection

If you use a wireless connection, keep your router in close proximity to your PS5/PS4 and remove obstacles to ensure a stable and strong signal.

• Avoid placing your router near brick walls or concrete pillars that can weaken the signal
• Keep your router vertically instead of horizontally
• Use a Wi-Fi antenna to boost the signal and reduce interference

**Use an Ethernet Cable instead of WiFi

• wired connections are generally faster, more stable, and lag-free
• Switch your PS5/PS4 to a wired connection
• Use a 30-meter Ethernet cable, avoiding longer cables to maintain reliable signal transmission

Manage Your PS5/PS4 Settings

Your PS5/PS4 settings can greatly affect the quality of your streams:

• Set PSN settings to High
  • Go to [System Settings] > [Settings] > [Streaming Quality]
  • Change streaming quality to High to avoid buffering and lag
  • This ensures consistent 1080p(60fps) at its highest quality
• Enable DualSense wireless controller for reduced delay and improved responsiveness
