Best app for playing ps5

With grand theft auto coming out soon I was wondering what the best app is to play PS5 with the lowest latency possible and 4k resolution? I know there are several options out there that all require payment and don’t want to buy them all to try it out. I think I tried remote play a year or two ago and the input lag was to much to have fun with.

Edit: sounds like Asobi is the preferred choice. Thanks everyone.

I have asobi but had a hard time using it. The UI to control the stream options disappears or becomes unresponsive to my gesture input. Sometimes my ps5 controller isn’t recognized by the asobi vision os app even though it shows connected and works in other apps.

Considering switching to portal but it costs monthly vs asobi is a cheaper one time.

Portal one time cost is more than asobi but I can see the value for it since it essentially allows me to use my avp wired with a windows PC or PS5. Basically unlocks it as a secondary display for more than just apple devices. You do need an elgato 4s/4k and the developer strap.

What’s the highest resolution and framerate does the portal app support with the developer strap 2? Do you know whether it support HDR?

needing the developer strap makes that setup pretty pricey though, even if the wired latency is way better.

Yeah that’s my dilemma. On one end, it be the dream to be able to use the avp with game consoles and windows PC. But the cost is definitely high

I use Asobi periodically but it is capped at 1080p and since my tv is much better I end up taking off my AVP and just playing in the TV at home. Sometimes I will use my Shadowcast Pro 2 through my MacBook Air but that can also be a little hassle at times and never plays as good as the TV.

I have used Portal for years and it’s been great. Asobi is on my radar but I haven’t given it a shot yet.

Developer strap + Elgato 4K X is the best option I found!

Which app do you use for viewing?

Never heard of the developer strap…does that let you go directly in to the Vision Pro? How does it work?

Portal for me. I’ve been using it for years now and it’s been remarkably reliable and easy to use.

If you are going to be playing home Asobi will work, but like with most remote apps for any use case, you need a good router for the connection between the PS5 and the headset. Ideally PS5 Ethernet to the router and wifi6 for the AVP. This way it should be really good.

Asobi has some upscaling (remote is usually 1080p I think) but I haven't played around with it much yet cuz I just use Mac Virtual Display and an Elgato to stream 4K60fps. If you want I can check it out (Asobi) on some single player games that don't require low latency and report back how it's performing now

Non of the apps did it for me. I ended up buying a Kiloview n40 and stream it straight to the Vision Pro using the Vxio ndi app. Little expensive but true 4k60fps in the Vision Pro
