Play your PS5 or PS4 remotely over the Internet using Chiaki on the Steam Deck.

If you wants to play PlayStation 4 or 5 games on the go, you may be interested in using Chiaki, an open-source remote play client. With Chiaki, you can connect to your PS4 or PS5 console over the internet and play your favorite games using your Steam Deck.

One of the advantages of using Chiaki is that you can play your PS4 or PS5 games on your Steam Deck, even if they’re not natively supported. This means you can enjoy a wider range of games on your device and take your gaming experience to the next level.

To get started, you’ll need to install the Chiaki application on your Steam Deck. Once you’ve done that, you can use it to connect to your PS4 or PS5 console over the internet. The process is straightforward and only requires a stable internet connection.

  4. Start Chiaki.  Once Chiaki starts, click on the + icon in the upper right. The “Add Manual Console” box will pop up.  Put your public IP in the Host field, click Save.
  5. Register Console.  Double click on the manual box with your IP, this will bring up the Register Console box.

The Host field should already have your IP.

Enter the PIN number that you get from your PS5.  To get the PIN, goto your PS5 settings, then Remote Play.
Make sure Remote Play is enabled.
Click on the Link Device, this will give you the 8 digit PIN code.
PSN Online-ID can be left blank.

Once you’re done entering in the PSN Account-ID and PIN, click Register.  Chiaki will find your PS5 and you should now be able to use it remotely.

 

Have fun!
