You Can Play PS Plus Games Without Owning a PS5, but There’s a Catch
Inside Internet has launched Asobi: Remote Play, a free cloud-streaming application that enables players to stream PlayStation 4 and PS5 games to alternative devices without owning the actual consoles. The app works on Steam Deck, Steam Machines, and other SteamOS and Linux devices, expanding access to PlayStation’s library beyond traditional hardware.
This development follows similar offerings in the cloud gaming space, including the Logitech G Cloud for Xbox and Sony’s own PS Portal device. However, Asobi: Remote Play distinguishes itself by supporting non-PlayStation hardware and operating systems, making it accessible to a broader audience of PC and Linux users.
The application is currently available on Steam and free to access, though it requires users to request entry to the platform. According to reports, the service comes with a notable limitation or catch that may affect its utility for some players, though the specifics of this restriction were not fully detailed in available coverage.
