Steam Deck Gets PS5 Cloud Gaming, No Sony Console Needed

Steam Deck users can now stream PS4/PS5 games via the new Asobi: Remote Play app, including cloud streaming for PS Plus Premium subscribers. The free core tier supports 1080p at 30fps ( SDR ) over home Wi‑Fi or the internet, with automatic bitrate adjustments. The paid tier unlocks 1080p60 HDR, higher bitrate, controller haptics, gyro, on‑device upscaling to 4K, and up to 120fps on supported displays, plus an experimental FEC mode. Sony will no longer bring newer games to PC, and a launch date for the app is not yet announced; playtesting is underway.

PS Portal Elevates Cloud Streaming With 1080p High Quality Mode

Sony’s PS Portal gains a meaningful upgrade with a new 1080p High Quality mode that boosts streaming bitrate from 15 Mbps to 25 Mbps, delivering noticeably sharper image quality, especially for Remote Play. Cloud streaming has grown quickly since PS Plus Premium expanded access in late 2025, with January 2026 cloud users up 162% year over year and more than half of Portal users on Premium. The improvement is well-received, though questions remain about continued enhancements and whether Sony will push native handheld capabilities alongside cloud streaming.

While it offers an excellent experience for PS5 gaming away from the main display, its lack of cloud gaming support and slow charging are noted drawbacks. The device's singular focus on mirroring content from the PS5 limits its functionality, but it excels in providing a tailored experience for Remote Play.
