What Chiaki-ng is

Chiaki-ng is a free, open-source client for PlayStation Remote Play and a newer continuation of Chiaki. It connects with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, with installation options and guidance for Linux, Windows, and macOS; the project also lists Android and several other supported or potential platforms. Setup covers local console discovery, registration, and remote play through PSN or a manual connection. Configuration includes video, stream, audio, and Wi-Fi settings, and the guide describes PS5 HDR streaming with an H265 HDR codec option. Controller documentation covers mapping, gyro controls, haptics, adaptive triggers, DualSense and DualShock 4 use, and Steam Deck layouts. Scripts can wake a PlayStation and launch Chiaki using local or external addresses. The remote-connection guide says the PSN authentication token is stored locally and not used or stored elsewhere. PSN remote connections support IPv4 only; UDP hole punching can fail on some network types, requiring manual connection with port forwarding. PS4 remote play through PSN is limited to the account’s main registered console. PS5 haptics and adaptive triggers are experimental and opt-in.
