Overview
- Inside Internet’s Asobi: Remote Play has launched an invite‑only public playtest that enables PlayStation Plus Premium cloud streaming to Steam Deck, Steam Machine and other SteamOS/Linux devices without a PS5.
- Testers must sign in with a PlayStation Network account and an active PlayStation Plus Premium subscription to access Sony’s cloud catalogue through the app.
- All premium features including 60 fps, HDR, controller haptics, 4K upscaling and manual bitrate control are unlocked during the playtest, and the free tier will revert after testing to a 1080p/30fps ceiling with paid premium pricing still unannounced.
- Asobi continues to support traditional home‑network remote play from a user’s own PS4/PS5 without a subscription, and the developer says a Windows version is planned “soonish.”
- Early testers have reported some content‑availability and stability problems, and the app is unaffiliated with Sony or Valve, meaning continued access depends on PlayStation’s cloud catalog and the developer’s decisions on pricing and distribution.
