The CMS Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) project has operated forward proton detectors in the harsh near-beam environment of the LHC since 2016, with a leading contribution by LIP. The physics goals include the study of Electroweak and possible Beyond Standard Model physics in photon-photon interactions, exploiting the unprecedented energies and luminosities offered by the LHC. In this talk, the physics results obtained with the existing Run 2 LHC data, and the preparations for the upcoming Run 3, are reviewed. Finally, a new upgrade proposal for PPS at the High-Luminosity LHC, scheduled to begin operations in 2027, is presented.
