If you just want to Remote Play your PS5 games, then Sony\u2019s PS Portal<\/a> is a much cheaper alternative to the Steam Deck.<\/p>\n

But if you already own Valve\u2019s handheld \u2013 or another Linux-based PC portable \u2013 you may be interested in a new app named Asobi<\/a>, currently in testing.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve praised the virtue of Android-based solutions like PX Play<\/a> in the past, this particular option comes with one distinct advantage: PS Plus Premium<\/a> cloud streaming.<\/p>\n

The software currently only supports the game catalogue, so there\u2019s no compatibility with your wider PS5 library, but it\u2019s something the team says it\u2019s working on.<\/p>\n

Remember, you will need an active PS Plus Premium subscription to take advantage of this functionality, just like on the PS Portal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether Sony turns a blind eye to this.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, its PS Portal is not really competing with PC handhelds, and this solution still requires customers to stump up for PlayStation\u2019s priciest subscription \u2013 the platform holder\u2019s not exactly losing out financially by letting this software exist.<\/p>\n

One thing worth noting here is that Asobi is currently in testing, so the maker has unlocked the full 60fps, 4K experience for free. Once the playtest ends, the free tier will be restricted to 30fps, 1080p and you\u2019ll need to pod out an as-yet undisclosed sum for the full feature set.<\/p>\n

Still, I\u2019ve been reading some really positive anecdotes about this. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t have a PC handheld so I can\u2019t test it for myself, but let me know if you choose to try it in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
