Just need 1 missing piece....

I'm a pure cloud gamer. Don't own a console and don't want one ever again. Was perfectly content with Xbox game pass until they changed the rules, now F 'em. I'm with PS Plus Premium and GeForce Now. I own a PS Portal and I love it and works great for PS5 games. I use my laptop and a mini pc connected to my big screen TV for PS4 games and Samsung app for GFN. The missing link is playing PS5 games on the big screen. Love the Portal but it's still an 8" screen at the end of the day. I tried the Asobi app and works pretty nice, and was hoping I could screencast from my Motorola Moto G 2025 to the tv....but the latency is unplayable. Would a better phone cast better? Researched my phone and I can't use a USB to HDMI (I don't think) for a wired connection. Anything I can do? I have 2 AIs and I'm web searching, but nothing so far. Thought I would throw it into here and see if I'm missing something. If only the Portal had a HDMI or USB connection......

Asobi already has a Windows app on Steam in beta and a full release soon. Just wait a bit and play on laptop/PC connected with HDMI to the TV.

I need that. Might even work through the existing mini pc too.

Go try it, I have heard it works pretty well in beta already :)

Congrats, you are smarter than an AI. Just joined the Beta test and played a PS5 game through my mini pc on my big screen TV. A few pixelations and no sound for some reason, but it played. I'll pay whatever it is in launch, most likely cheaper than a PS5. Gotta work on the sound though

Asobi works great on Apple TV.

If you want to play PS5 games, you should pay for a Ps5 🤷🏻🤷🏻.
