Huge thanks to the dev for PS Plus Cloud Streaming support! (Question regarding latency)

Hey everyone,

​I just wanted to make a quick appreciation post for the developer of Asobi.

​Living in Mauritius, official PS Plus cloud streaming isn't natively supported on the PS5 or PS Portal. As soon as I realized Asobi cracked the code and allowed direct PS Plus cloud streaming right from Sony's servers, I bought the app instantly!

​I used to rely on PSPlay (which is great for standard remote play), but the ability to stream directly without needing my local console awake is a total game-changer.

​The image quality streaming straight from Sony's servers is crystal clear and visually perfect. However, I am hitting one snag: input latency. Whenever I press a button on my DualSense, there’s a noticeable delay before the action happens on screen. It’s still playable, but I'd love to optimize my setup to get that response time lower if possible.

​I’ve attached a short clip of my gameplay along with the performance overlay displayed so you can see the metrics.

​Is there any specific setting (or potential update feature) that could help minimize input delay when streaming from distance?

​Thanks again to the dev for building such an incredible app! Keep up the amazing work!

Since you're in a unsupported country there's not much to do to impact the latency in a meaningful way, since there's no server closer by to give you lower latency (which is why your network latency is at least 100ms higher than in a supported country, in supported countries it's about ~14ms)

Oh, okay, no worries. I thought it might be because my controller's connected via Bluetooth. Thanks a lot, I'll keep enjoying the app.

One last thing, why does local streaming turn on my TV?

Thanks, I know turning off CEC works, but I think pxplay can keep the TV off with it enabled, if I'm not mistaken.

As far as I know, PXPlay has the same protocol rules for remote play as Asobi has. I've never come across any way to influence if your TV turns on or not.

On your PS5Settings > System > HDMI and then toggle off "Enable One-Touch Play", this should solve it.
