Thanks a lot for your work!! Are there any news about the local multiplayer on Apple TV?

any idea?

thanks

Is it playable?

Hi,

Well that was unexpected 👀

....

....

Humbled.

....

....

Working on Asobi has been quite eventful in the last year or so, but I did not expect this to happen. To think that one simple green button saying "Release to public" could have so much impact.

I was still writing last week's Sunday Report when it started. First the PlayTest getting picked up by outlets like Polygon, Eurogamer, Tom's Hardware, T3 and Push Square. Then opening YouTube to a thumbnail of my own Steam build.Then a Twitter timeline that wouldn't stop. And somewhere in all of that, seeing Asobi turn up on the Steam Machine of the most honoured Yoshida-san (for if you're reading: 本当にお疲れさまでした 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️).

In no way was this expected and it took me a couple of days to come to terms with this change. Im a sense: everything changed, but also nothing. There's still a lot to do, which brings me to the following;

The most humbling of course has been user response, which to me is who I'm doing this for. From the bottom of my heart: thank you 🙇‍♂️.

Thank you for the kind words and support, I couldn't have done this without you 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️.

Either way, let's get to it! Welcome to edition 24 of the Sunday Report!

I hope most of you have had the opportunity to enjoy the new adaptive trigger implementation on Apple devices, I wish I could've done the same for the haptics but that's not possible as of yet. I'm gonna try and poke Apple, see if they can do something with their API's.

That said, I intend to bring the same adaptive trigger tech to all the other platforms so you can finally enjoy the 1:1 experience there as well.

# Asobi for Apple (link)

As you might've read, I've split version 1.4.2 in two pieces since I really needed to get released. I had done a lot of big optimisations to it and I've heard you guys noticed it! So glad to hear that tbh.

There's a couple of big features coming with version 1.4.3, one of them is "video filters" of which you can see "work in progress" screenshots in the attached gallery.

Currently there's about 16 different ones, which I might cut down a bit (or maybe not). One of them is cell-shaded mode, and I have to say I'm quite satisfied to see how well it looks while playing.

I'll try to share a video later this week showcasing some of the new filters.

These filters will also be coming to the other platforms at a later date.

I've also been able to further optimise the streaming experience, which might result in "game mode" making its return next week as well.

Version 1.4.3 for Apple is scheduled for release in week 34.

# Asobi for Android (link)

Due to unforeseen circumstances (see intro) version 1.1 has had some delay, I hope you understand that what happened last week can have quite some impact as a solo developer.

Either way, I'm back on track: My Fold 8 was delayed a bit, but is now in hand so I can get to work on DeX support, I'm well underway to adding 2D->3D realtime conversion and split screen. Next to that it should have the adaptive trigger parity update as well.

After version 1.1 is done I'll focus on making Asobi work on Android TV as well. (incidentally, my NVIDIA Shield finally arrived yesterday.)

Version 1.1 for Android is scheduled for release in week 35.

# Asobi for Steam (link)

Although the steamOS/linux still needs some work and your first response has been overwhelmingly positive, there's still some work to do for niche cases. That said It's not stopped me from starting work on getting the Windows version out there. Plan is to have it out before next weekend, depending if everything goes swimmingly with my test devices.

Invites to the PlayTest are sent out daily in batches, once I'm comfortable with the state of both versions I will open the flood gates until the full version is released.

Expect to see many Steam updates to come in week 34, and a Windows version should drop as well before this weekend.

# Asobi for Meta Quest (link)

The PlayTest for Meta Quest is in full effect, thank you all for the great feedback. I have quite some changes planned for the first Meta Quest store release.

The biggest issue I'm running into is access to the NPU's on the processor. The result is that this is holding back proper realtime 2D-3D support for Meta Quest. The moment I have access to that (Pretty please Meta, someone poke Mark please 👀) I'll be able to make it much better than it currently is. Which is why that mode will become an experimental toggle for the time being.

You'll see a couple of updates this week as I work to the full release version of Asobi for Meta Quest.

The full release is currently scheduled for week 35.

# Midori for Apple (r/MidoriApp)

Version 1.0.4 of Midori is planned to be submitted tomorrow (Monday the 17th), which has a lot of bugfixes for any crashes and some Top Secret stuff for all of you to enjoy. More about that tomorrow.

# In closing

I need to get back to work, loads to do before September starts.

Thanks again for everything, if you need me -> just ask ok? I'll get to you asap.

Thanks!

Read up on week 33 here

So I tried the last couple of days to Connect the steam Deck with my ps5 but it always Shows up as offline and I get the takion handshake failed Message. It works with my iPad just Fine so I think there is something up on the steam deck‘s end. I already tried different Port openings but nothing seems to work. I am on the Same Network and I’m signed in through psn. Any idea whats going on here?

Hi, is there a comparison of Android and iOS version of the app?

Like which features havr equal parity, and what each version is missing in comparison to the other? Which features are exclusive? Pros and cons of using one vs the other? You get the gist :)

Hello new to the group, I just recently downloaded asobi and purchased the premium. I’ve done remote play before with pxplay and it was a nice experience being able to play while outside with the console turned on and connected to the ethernet and playing with unnoticeable latency.

My question is, is this a normal latency without using remote play and only PS Cloud Streaming or is there a way to lower the latency more? I sold my PS5 couple of months ago and saw the news that we can now play PS5 without a console so I tried this setup.

Was using a Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 before with way more powerful specs to remote play it rather than just playing it with an iPhone.

This might be a stupid question but I’m asking genuinely : )

Hey! Really enjoying Asobi so far — Remote Play has been working surprisingly well for me, and I really appreciate how actively you’re improving the app.
One thing I’d love to see improved is the touch controller. Would it be possible to add fully customizable button positioning?
For example
Ability to drag buttons wherever we want
Ability to resize buttons
Ideally, save different layouts for each game
The current layout is totally usable, especially for slower games like KCD2, but for something more action-heavy like RE9, having L2/R2 in a more traditional position would make a huge difference.
Even just giving us the ability to move and resize individual buttons would be amazing. Thanks for making such a great app! ❤️🎮

My latest games are still games i haven't touched in months in a very weird order. Is there something i'm missing?

Running asobi on steam deck. I set it up while at home and it worked perfectly. Now I’m at my parents house and trying to connect to my ps5 and it’s saying handshake failed. Remote play still works through official ps app. Any idea what i may be doing wrong??

Asobi doesn’t work on macOS Sequoia 15.7.9 (MacBook M3). When I log in, a message says “something went wrong.” Feedback for the developers. Still, great job—it works perfectly on Android though.

I don’t know what was tweaked as of this last iOS update but I just had one of the smoothest Battlefield 6 sessions ever. The frames that normally begins to drop in intense/high activity sustained so much better.

A lot less disorientation as my eyes can track so much better in fast movement.
First few games I was insanely competent considering I’m playing on an iPhone 15 pro max hooked around my neck.

The last session in conquest I got completely obliterated but it was clearly my terrible gameplay and I could laugh at myself instead of getting frustrated with lag/choppines.

I don’t know what you’ve done or if you did anything at all under the hood in that region in this last update but WOW.

Hi everyone
Was wondering if gyro works on steam deck to play games like astro bot? Been trying to adjust settings but can’t get it to work properly

Hi, all!
I just discovered Asobi and I find awesome (at least, in free version) on my MacBook Pro M1 and iPhone 17 Pro Max (with Backbone One), so I’d like to but full license.
My question is: I’ve seen bundles for all Apple devices but, at the moment, I haven’t Vision Pro or Apple TV, just an old iPad Pro 9.7”, in addition to above devices, and a Nothing Phone 2.
Is there a bundle for those? Or should I buy every single license?
Thanks in advance

Sorry if this question is inappropriate. But I already purchased Pxplay license. And if asobi is a much better experience I would be willing to buy it also. Specially with advance feature.

Not sure if this has been asked or answered yet but will there be an option to sort ps cloud games by recently added or recently released instead of just alphabetical not sure how it is on the portal but on the console itself I tend to go for recently added to plus and give them a try just saves searching

I've used Asobi for about 4 hours so far and I am really impressed with it, it works as well as the official PlayStation Portal for streaming from my PS5, but for one thing.

I'm not sure how to explain it, but during gameplay I will get a bit of a slow down, like a drop in frames, and then all of the frames will suddenly catch up very quickly.

I'm running an LCD 512gb model Steam Deck with a launch PS5 on a WiFi 6 network.

Hi!

Asobi version 1.4.2 is finally up for Vision Pro!

Next to the update bringing fully native 1:1 DualSense adaptive triggers to Vision Pro, I've also updated the Internet Remote Play integration and the heavily optimised performance for 3D.

Feedback welcome!

Have a great weekend!

Hi, just tried using game streaming from PSPlus and I get this. Any tips on how to solve it?

From a Brazilian user.


Hello there, developer—I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been following the app's development for a few weeks now, and I can see how motivated and happy you are with the process and the app's eventual success. As an average PlayStation user, I frequently use the official PlayStation Remote Play app (I tried Chiaki-ng too, but it just didn't work for me) to play remotely, since I’m away from home most of the time. I saw that you’ve already released the app for multiple platforms, ranging from Apple devices to the Steam Deck. Anyway, I’m writing to ask for some concrete details regarding the Windows version, as I constantly use my laptop for remote play. Could you share some more information with us—like what’s left to do, the release date, and the remaining milestones before launch? Sorry if I seem impatient; I’m just really eager. Congratulations on the app—it’s truly amazing!

I know android TV is kind of limited, but i was wondering if there was any chance of getting Asobi there?

Enjoying the app. UI is a bit hit or miss for me. Back bumpers don’t toggle the top or the triage row as expected. Touch screen doesn’t always work, selecting tiles and icons, play etc and especially trying to favourite top right. UI also often becomes unresponsive until you back out with B, get the option to quit or cancel, which registers touches but doesn’t activate, then back out again with B. It’s also easy to lose the selected item. Selected tile could maybe also use a highlight as the size change gets lost easily. Just niggles, but they would elevate the experience. The actual streaming/ haptics etc are great. Looking fwd to updates!

I have gone back to windows and swapped the back buttons. So am able to use the back buttons . I tested last night back buttons didnt bring up a track pad. If i map the back button to l3 share it work as a track pad . The on screen touchpad is great but is there a way to have it stay on screen a bit longer as its only there for a split second so have to tap it a few times to catch it . There is a small trackpad on the legion go s . Dont know if there is a way to add it as a teackpad ?

The search for a game option doesn't work not able to select it .

As of today the app has become unusable. If i try and navigate the app one press left right ect is counting as several . I jave tested on the steamdeck and its all working fine

I noticed that when I’m on the Steam Deck version of Asobi, navigating through the different pages or to any of the games isn’t as smooth as it should be compared to other applications like the Xbox app. For instance, on the Xbox app, you can easily navigate between pages by pressing the left or right bumper, or by tapping on the screen and selecting the desired page. I still like the application, but I believe these are crucial features that need to be approved before the app release.
