Key Points:
- A new app called Asobi: Remote Play has launched on the Steam Store, enabling PlayStation cloud game streaming on the Steam Deck for the first time.
- Developed by Inside Internet, the app supports streaming from PS4 and PS5 consoles and allows cloud streaming for users subscribed to Sony’s PS+ Premium tier.
- The app offers a free “core” tier with 1080p streaming at 30fps and SDR, plus features like automatic bitrate adjustment and multi-user profiles, while a paid tier unlocks higher resolutions, 60fps HDR streaming, and advanced controls.
- This development is significant for Steam Deck owners wanting access to PlayStation’s game library, especially as Sony is limiting new game releases on PC.
- The app is currently in a playtest phase with no official launch date announced, but interested users can join the ongoing testing.
