I Played PS5 Games On Remote Play For A Week, Here's How It Went.

Nowadays there's so many ways to buy and play games, you've got your digital downloads, subscriptions, cloud gaming, and remote play! Remote Play has always been a neat feature, allowing you to remotely access and play your console. Sony went all-in on this back in the day with PS3 and PSP, then PS4 and PS Vita, and now: PS5 with phones, tablets, or PC's. Personally I've never cared much for using this, but I figured let me give it a go for a week straight. So here's how it went! (Now I want a McRib, which if you've watched the above, might make more sense).

Mystics such a chill dude honestly, just wanna go down the pub and have a pint with him

[korralations]

I use remote play pretty much exclusively for Ace Attorney. I think it’s good for games that don’t require any sort of precise timing.

[quesochecko]

Mystic is so underrated. He has way better content than most other tech channels. It’s a shame not a lotta people know about him.

[negativespace]

Really dig these videos lately - the trophy hunting videos and this have been really entertaining. I do typically like videos which just bullet point the pros/cons of something like streaming but this, actually kinda brings us along for each experiment and gives a more practical view on how someone would be using this functionality. Additionally this sort of thing often doesn’t get talked about post-launch.

[CarterPSN]

"there's a lot going on, I want to go back home." This is me every time I leave the house.

[sodaquest_]

The thing that always bothered me the most about remote play is the audio delay. I just despise it when the audio lags just a little bit behind.

[brandoncrutchfield]

So far it seems like the Backbone is kinda worth having if you’re gonna be at home or somewhere with a stable connection. I’ve been looking into getting one for myself if I ever wanna lay back in bed and play something without actually using my tv screen. Love your reviews Ryan!

[theplayer_]

I don't comment at all but wow the editing was great in this video I just wanted to point that out as it really deserves the recognition, Great job Mystic 👍

[TPayneTube]

Upgrade my internet to fibre and now getting an upload speed of 70. It’s made such a difference for remote play and probably now one of my favourite features of the PS5. 👌 keep up the great content 😁

[Jermster_]

Tyrell's gaming room looks awesome. Certainly wouldn't mind something similar one day.

[Gaming-Enthusiast]

I love physical games on disc . Not a fan of digital or playing games on phone .
Love my vita which I still play each day at work .
Ryan you are a legend and massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👍👍

[timsmyth]

i been using it for years since the vita for ark survival evolved. i check on my base from work, feed babies, defend allies, whatever. if i was trying to fight a boss in elden ring or something, yea thats not happening, but it has its uses. Just surprised to see the only thing thats changed over the years was the ui, 60fps and 1080p update. The latency seems pretty consistent over the last 6 or so years.

[xLiveTunex]

Remote Play was how I mostly played my PS4 games when I bought it (cause I didn't have a proper HDMI capable TV) and actually was pretty impressed by how I was able to ACTUALLY play all the first two Tomb Raider games.

[thejustinjustin]

Man never stop making these outside the box videos. You make the best PlayStation videos.

[Denilius]

I used remote play in a practical scenario recently. I traveled to my parents place and played NFS Unbound on my iPad Mini 5. I was very surprised with the responsiveness, while there was a noticeable change in input lag, it was nowhere near enough to actually disrupt my experience or reaction time in a single-player environment, Though I feel a multiplayer game would struggle with this and possible have more input lag by default. Another thing is make sure nothing is downloading while playing remote play, in hindsight this is obvious, but as I was playing I started downloading Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Cyberpunk 2077. The decrease in quality and increase in input lag was IMMENSE, and as soon as I paused both downloads it returned to an extremely playable state.

[brayanmartinez]

Glad Ryan gets products sent to him.

Also, that kawakami pillow xD
It's perfect hahaha

[Adeseo]

If you have Verizon fios, they make sure your upload and download speeds are roughly the same. I have 300 down like Mystic but ALSO 300 up, and that makes everything way more stable, especially when on cellular connection

[gueeds]

Remote Play, when it works, is great for slower paced games like turn based rpgs or visual novels. The problem starts to be when the latency even on local connections starts to impact the experience. It is almost unplayable outside the local network unless you are on amazing internet.

I’ve also had the connection be really poor even on a local connection where every 5 seconds the video would drop 10 or so frames but the sound kept going. Makes everything unplayable

[BigO]

Having the possibility to play your favorite games when you’re not even at home is amazing

[chrono]

P5 background music and Kawakami body pillow? Mystic's so cultured.
