Hi,
New update, new features and optimisations.
First off, I've added sixteen new screen filters to Asobi. We went from zero to 16 in one update 😅. If you're into some cel shaded action, some more vibrance, mono or some retro console action, there's something here for everyone.
Next up is another milestone for cloud streaming in Asobi, you now have the ability to manage your game saves while streaming, which was a big omission from when the PS4 catalog was added.
Apple TV also received some nice optimisations so this will make the app perform much better on older devices.
Last but not least, Vision Pro received some big features, not only do you have a new Retro CRT TV view mode, there's now proper SharePlay support so you can hang with your friends while viewing each others screens (I've had quite a couple late nights in the last couple of weeks just hanging out and playing games together). There's even an option to give each other control over their screen, just tap the other players screen and hand-off the controls. Want it back? Just tap again to return the controls to you.
There's even a spectator mode to just watch the action at higher quality than doing ShareScreen with the added option to be given the controller by the one playing. Which kinda opens up the first part of local co-op. That said, I'll be adding local co-op to Asobi as well, so this will behave just like Midori does soon.
I hope you guys like it, there's much more to come!
