Just wanted to shout out this piece of software.

I've been time poor lately and the ps5 has been gathering dust in my office. Streaming onto the deck has been a godsend, as I'm not tied into locking myself away from the family to play a game. Bit of a hassle to set up but so handy once it's been added as a non-steam game.

I'm sorry, the WHAT? Holy crap I know what I'm setting up tonight!

I'm glad someone hadn't heard of it before!

90% of my deck time has been with Chiaki.

It really solves the convenience and lack of portability issue. I find it works better than steam link due to being able to put the ps5 into rest mode and wake it up with the deck.

You can even set it up for multiple users on both deck and PS5. The tool will help you set up profiles and profile shortcuts too.

Thank you for sharing this! I haven't booted up my PS5 in months... Can this be used without their monthly subscription thing? I didn't see that mentioned on the remote play website, so I figured I'd ask the stupid question.

Not a stupid question. This is completely separate to the monthly PS plus subscription. Basically this makes your steamdeck a PSPortal.
