Steam Deck & Playstation 5 Are A Match Made In Heaven

[@HenAndPenn]

This will solve my problem. I have no tv currently so this allows me to play my ps5 still. Thank you 🙏

[@wilbyYT]

Glad I could help!

@@wilbyYT Wow this has changed my world. Im stuck in bed for 6 months and this has saved me. I refunded $250 worth of games today now that i got my PS5 library back up through Chiaki4deck. I also have PS plus so I can play all those free games instead of buying them. They all have looked and played great with very little effort. Ps5 games look amazing on the oled

PC + Deck is still objectively better than PS5 + Deck for game streaming. There's no need to double dip on game purchases for when you want to play one game natively on the other. You buy the game once and play across any Steam-enabled gaming PC device you have. You can natively continue your game saves, via Steam's cloud save, across PC and Deck. If you double dip for PS5, you've got to start over again. Want a console like experience on your PC? You can stream the upstairs PC to the Deck and use your PC like a living room console. Then enjoy the benefits of PC gaming, like free online and mods, etc. On the flip side, PS5 is good if you're on a tight budget. But the long term of double dipping, etc, is where you're not actually saving money. Also just thought I'd mention, Steam Link streaming is now working great and I actually prefer it over Moonlight because of: 1. It's quicker and feels like a seamless and almost native experience: you literally change the "Play" button to "Stream" in the Steam game page UI and the game streams in a way that almost feels native. There's none of that friction you get from Moonlight or Chiaki. And yes, you can create shortcuts in Moonlight, but it requires going into Sunshine's control panel and finding the actual file path to the executable, etc; it's a hassle once you have a big game library on PC, that you end up just streaming the desktop instead. 2. Your individual customised control scheme carries over to the streamed Steam game. With Chiaki or Moonlight, you have a universal control scheme. So if you like to customise controls, per game, you don't have that same luxury with Chiaki or Moonlight; you could create lots of Action Sets, but again, that's a huge hassle. I've been playing Watch_Dogs 1 across both my PC and Deck; on Deck In playing it completely vanilla, but on PC, it's fully modded out with the first person mod. The first person mod is also just for immersion sake and isn't very practical to play it that way. However, the ability to quickly jump between a vanilla version of a game on Deck and a fully modded version on PC, all while cloud saves are working between both, is something you simply cannot do via PS5 streaming.

Thank you for the extensive explanation! Im glad you found your perfect way to so things. That’s what’s interesting to me: hearing from other people what they prefer :)

I have the portal. Don't worry, the portal is performing much worse than the steam deck. It's constant stuttering for me on the portal, but it works flawlessly on the steam deck.

[@omgoat]

its your wifi fault portal is de best sony consoles are the best

[@jellymartin1811]

​@@omgoat I can't tell if you are being serious or not

[@Chopihi]

Same here, i have both portal and steamdeck oled. Steamdeck performs better and visually it looks better. Stuttering still an issue on the portal. And no stutterring on my steamdeck streaming my pa5 using chiaki4deck. I still keep my portal but im still hoping they fix the stuttering issue and visual improvements and if they can match chiaki4deck quality and peformance 🤞

[@ScrubsWasTaken]

exactly why i don't trust people who say the portal is worth it. No point in wasting your time and money when everything else does a better job

[@ToneSum]

Great combo, I do it myself. Now this app I will be installing to hype up the steam deck more.

[@wilbyYT]

Have fun man! :)

[@Kinos141]

gaming PC and Steam Deck for me. I have a PS4 I got about 3 years ago and barely play.

[@wilbyYT]

Also a great combo!

[@GoHardOrGoHome85]

The Series X and Lenovo Legion Go is my perfect combo.I can play ps5,switch,steam,xbox,plus emulation

[@wilbyYT]

Great combo!

[@ahouat7913]

Macbook air + steam deck oled Macbook for its portability, weight (no ac adapter) and sleep mode and it can play wow. Steam deck oled for pc games

[@wilbyYT]

WoW is also playable on the Deck I think! But it’s not as convenient as having mouse and keyboard for that I guess.

[@ahouat7913]

@@wilbyYT yeah i tried but the i didnt like the controller setup, esp the targeting system, not as convenient as point and click or tabbing. Wow does run smooth on steam deck though Macbook air also does the job perfectly, it can basically play high settings with some tweeks and stay around 60degrees even on a 10hr gaming session.

[@NoleFanOS]

That's my exact combo!

[@wilbyYT]

Are you liking it??

[@NoleFanOS]

@wilbyYT I love it! Admittedly I play my Steam Deck more but of late I've been spending time on my PS5 playing Bloodbourne and DSIII. At some point I'll also be picking up NCAA 25 as well.

[@cheeseswears]

Asus ROG G14 and steam deck oled are soul mates

[@RoaringPhilosopher]

A very cool idea, but why not use the PS Remote app in desktop mode?

[@user-ye3qn8bj9c]

chiaki4deck is better

[@Proklame]

The PS remote app doesn’t have sound for some reason. At least that’s been my experience. And you can only use a PlayStation five controller synced to your handheld device.

[@RoaringPhilosopher]

@@Proklame Thank you, that’s very informative👍

[@wilbyYT]

Thank you for clearing that up @Proklame :)

[@TotallyAwesome315]

It doesn't do the same thing. With Chiaka on the Steam Deck, you have to be at home on the same network as your PS5 to play games. The PS Portal can play anywhere with any wifi connection. I've gotten great results even using my phones hotspot or using the wifi at Walmart.

[@wilbyYT]

Totally true! That’s one of the reasons why I wanna try out the Portal!

[@juancardona2213]

Actually with the newest update, you don't need to be at home anymore! It took away the port forwarding requirement from the user!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@RobertSmith-tu7rl]

ive just got my steam deck .... and the possablities are endless right now

[@wilbyYT]

It’s a magical machine :)

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

I have a ps2 ps3 ps5 xbox one for back compat and a deck and could not be happier. Had a switch too but the games are to expensive and i didnt like the performance

[@wilbyYT]

Great combination of devices! You do you :)
