The app is distributed through Steam, so installing it on a Steam Deck works like installing any other game, avoiding the manual steps required for the existing chiaki-ng tool. Asobi: Remote Play also supports cloud streaming for users subscribed to eligible PS Plus services, a feature chiaki-ng has said it will not implement. The free version plays at 1080p and 30 fps in SDR, while a premium version, available for purchase once, adds 1080p and 60 fps with HDR, 4K upscaling, frame generation up to 120 fps, and a low-latency mode. The playtest unlocks premium features for free. The app is planned for release on Steam for Windows, Linux, and SteamOS.","whyItMatters":"Asobi: Remote Play lowers the barrier for Steam Deck owners to use PS remote play by offering a Steam-native install, a step beyond the GitHub-based chiaki-ng that requires manual setup.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe playtest for Asobi: Remote Play began on August 10, 2026, according to Game Spark. The app targets Linux and SteamOS, with Steam Deck as the representative device. Sony\u0026#39;s official PS Remote Play app only supports Windows and Mac, so Steam Deck users previously had to rely on chiaki-ng, a fork of Chiaki distributed via GitHub. That process required manual installation and running it outside the game mode interface, demanding some technical knowledge.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsobi: Remote Play simplifies this by being available on Steam, making installation as straightforward as any other game. The developer\u0026#39;s stated philosophy is to achieve true next-generation remote play on PS hardware. The free tier supports 1080p and 30 fps in SDR. The premium version, which can be unlocked with a one-time purchase, promises 1080p and 60 fps with HDR, 4K upscaling, frame generation up to 120 fps, and a low-latency mode. During the playtest, premium features are accessible at no cost.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCloud streaming is included for those with eligible PS Plus subscriptions, a capability chiaki-ng has explicitly said it will not add.
