PlayStation Remote Play - Asobi: Remote Play - has entered public testing on Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and other SteamOS or Linux devices. The new feature allows users to stream PS Plus Premium cloud streaming games directly to their Deck or Steam Machine without owning a PS5. With an active subscription, users can access games from the cloud catalogue, offering premium features such as 60fps, HDR, controller haptics, 4K upscaling, and manual bitrate control.
The free version of the app is limited to 1080p/30fps, while the full premium unlock is expected to be announced post-playtest. Asobi is not an official Sony product or affiliated with PlayStation, Valve, or Steam. Notably, Sony's PS Portal, priced at £220, provides similar cloud streaming capabilities via PlayStation Plus Premium.
