The short version

- That older function - streaming from a console you actually own - still works exactly as before, subscription or not, for anyone without PS Plus Premium.
- Developer Ichenzo announced the playtest on the app's subreddit .
What happened
The PlayTest for Asobi: Remote Play on Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and Linux is live now," Ichenzo wrote. "All premium features are unlocked until the full release becomes available on the Steam Store.
Why it matters
