r/remoteplay

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an app called PXPlay for Remote Play on my PlayStation 5. However, I’ve been running into an issue consistently. I keep getting a message saying that it’s unable to connect to the same WiFi network (I’ve attached a screenshot for reference).

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this app, but ever since I bought it, I’ve only been facing problems. It’s possible that I might have some settings configured incorrectly. I’m currently using it on an Android tablet.

If anyone has faced a similar issue or knows what might be going wrong, I’d really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance!

Disclaimer: All updates mentioned here will also come to other ports soon, if not already available.

A big new PXPlay update (v8.0.0) is finally available for Beta testing via the Google Play Store, it comes with a redesigned UI, better streaming controls, improved DualSense support, new home screen widgets, and lots of quality-of-life improvements across phone, tablet, foldable, and TV experiences. It is one of the biggest updates every released and I finally got time during the last few months to include some long requested features.

Besides all the other improvements, one of the biggest changes in this update is the new UI for Android and Android TV. PXPlay finally feels like a truly modern Android app and should look amazing now on both Android and Android TV. I had been planning this update for a long time and finally got the chance to work on it.

Thanks to everyone who shared feature requests in my recent Android update posts. I really tried to implement everything which was recommended, if something didn't make it, it may be added in a future version.

Highlights

• New modern UI across the app with a cleaner, more polished look
• Dark mode support for the new interface
• Automatic remote registration without PIN where supported, making setup much faster (no need to be on the same network, no 8 digit PIN)
• General performance improvements and many stability refinements

Streaming Improvements

• Compact stream area mode for foldables, dual-screen, and flip devices
  Display the stream in the top 50% of the screen for better multitasking or controller space
• More aspect ratio options, including new zoomed modes like 21:9, 4:3, and more
• Optional aspect ratio button during streaming
  Quickly switch aspect ratio modes on the fly during a session
• Toggleable performance overlay with live metrics:
  • Resolution
  • RTT
  • BT (bandwidth)
  • VL (% video loss)
  • DT (decoding time)
• Configurable FSR sharpening parameter for better image tuning
• Override settings for Remote Play and Local Play connections independently per registered console

Controller and Input

• Improved gamepad button mapping UI
  No more scrolling through huge old-style button lists and only map the buttons you need to change
• DualSense haptic and adaptive trigger intensity now follows the console settings
• DualSense lightbar colors are forwarded from the PlayStation to PXPlay (can optional also be shown onscreen)
• New gamepad refresh rate setting, including Ultra
• Individual toggle touch mode settings for different on-screen button groups
• Option to disable portrait on-screen controller layouts if you want a cleaner portrait view

Home Screen and Console Management

• New widget support to add registered consoles directly to the home screen and launch them quickly
• Optional explicit wake-up button for registered consoles, available through the appearance settings
• Registered console cards and dashboard improvements

UI / Quality of Life

• More translation coverage and localization improvements
• Many smaller UX refinements across settings, onboarding, and console management

General information

This update is focused on making PXPlay feel more modern, more flexible, and more powerful, especially for foldables, DualSense users, and anyone who wants deeper control over streaming quality and input behavior.

If you run into any issues or crashes, please let me know. You can join the beta via the Google Play Store. If nothing major comes up, the release is planned for next week.

I'll publish a roadmap outlining the next steps as well as the planned changes for other ports after the official release of the Android beta version.

Hi!

So as most of you may know, I'm hard at work to bring Asobi: Remote Play to Windows, Android, Linux (SteamDeck) and Meta Quest.

Originally I had the intention to do a Play-test this weekend, except that I'e found some last minute changes I need to add to the ports in relation to cloud support. (the expanded library.)

The Play-test won't have any of the premium features; It'll cover basic Remote/PS Cloud play

To everyone that signed up; Thank you so much for your interest, the wait won't be much longer to try it out. You'll see invites show up around the time that the Play-test starts.

The Play-test is planned to run from: 24th of April from 12:00 CET - 27th of April 12:00 CET

There is however a chance that the Steam Play-test will run later, It's my first time publishing anything on Steam, so I might run into issue -> so bear with me.

There will be a reddit thread here where I'll ask you to put all your findings for whatever did and didn't work properly. More instructions about how to report anything (even if it's working great) will be explained in a post here next week.

When everything's done and finished then Asobi for these devices will be released on the Meta Quest, Steam and Play store. The release date's dependant on how well the Play-test
goes.

If you want to join;
Steamdeck/Windows: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4505440/Asobi_Remote_Play/
Android/Meta quest: Send me a DM with your email address and platform(s)

If you have any further questions -> let me know!

Thank you all for reading, I'll be in touch soon!

Have a great weekend!!!!

P.S. Can't wait to get my hands on all the feedback! 🙏🙏🙏

Hi folks,

Need your serious help to connect my ps portal to connect to the ps5 outside of home network

I have done the below steps

1. Remote play settings in ps5

2. Static IP to ps5 in settings

3. Port forwarding to ps5 in tp link router

4. Logged in logged out of system multiple times from mobile and portal and ps5

Please help me to understand what I am doing wrong, I just got a new portal and it's not getting used at all

Hi!

So although I have quite some announced and unannounced features coming to Asobi. I'm kinda curious if there's any stuff you would really like to see or want for the app. Or even stuff that you would like a solution to.

Things like; a more elaborate performance overlay, macro support, better tutorials etc.

Let me know; I might even have answers to if it's possible or not.
