PS Remote Play | PS5

Download the free PS Remote Play app now
Visit the app store for your chosen device, install the app and you’re ready to get started.

PS Remote Play lets you stream and play your PS4 and PS5 games, switch between games, view your console home screen and browse the console’s menus on any compatible device that’s connected to your broadband network or using your mobile data.

That means you can start playing with your PlayStation console connected to a TV, pause your game and access the PS Remote Play app on your chosen device, and your game will be there, ready to keep playing from exactly where you left it. Or you can switch on your PlayStation console and start playing directly from the app, with no need to ever switch on your TV.

A PS4 or PS5 console is required to stream your games to another device.

Screen Content Simulated.

Remote Play can be used with a mobile data connection or Wi-Fi. Broadband internet with at least 5Mbps is required. For a better Remote Play experience, a high-speed connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended using either Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. If you choose to use a mobile data connection to access Remote Play features, this will use your mobile data allowance. If you exceed your mobile data allowance, you may be charged by your mobile provider. To help manage the amount of data used through a mobile connection, select your preferred video quality for mobile data streaming. The quality and connectivity of your Remote Play experience may vary depending on your mobile carrier network and network environment.

Had the Backbone for 2yrs now. Still going strong. Definitely miss the Vita though.

For people saying this is useless honestly for games with big time based grinds this helps tremendously

For those complaining about lag and video freezing, try unplugging HDMI from console while using PS Remote play. Seems to get rid of the video freezing/lag while trying to play.

I wish we could remote play directly using the PS5’s Wi-Fi vs going through the router like how the Vita or PSP did back in the PS3 and PS4 days. Less latency.

I've been using remote play since it was a limited feature on the PS3 and PSP. That being said remote play between the PS Vita & the PS4 was absolutely phenomenal! I beat so many PS4 games while using remote play on my Vita.

Since the Vita is no longer a viable option for me, I use remote play via my Samsung Galaxy tab S6 lite and my PS5. It's been incredible so far TBH. The 10.1 inch 2K display on the tablet makes PS5 games look great at the 1080p streaming resolution. I was recently away for work and I brought my tablet & my dual sense controller with me leaving my hardwired PS5 at home. Within 3 minutes I was playing horizon Forbidden West. The quality of the stream allowed me to play for 3 solid hours with very little issues at all (an occasional hiccup occurred but nothing bad). I hope one day Sony enters the hand held hybrid market again (can you imagine a PlayStation steam deck with an incredibly powerful APU that allows for full download access to your PS5 catalog) 😱
Sony would be smart to capitalize on the love people had for the PSP and combine that with the love ppl have for the Nintendo switch and steam deck.
Happy gaming ✌️

I still miss PSP/PSVita and I wish that Playstation lunch a new version of the portable console. I don't have such a strong WIFI conection to play any AA streaming games.

[cameronweston]

Remote play on the PS Vita was still the best. Only issue was L2 and R2 but if u had the special cover no issues😊

[Novemberz_Own]

It's how I spend most of my days at work lol

[zomblog]

i like the idea of being able to stream the games you ACTUALLY OWN wherever you want, instead of subscription based services, thats for sure.

[aerthian]

Sony may have forgotten about you, but you will live on, cause vita means life

[adrianherreraarcila]

I've used this to stream my PS5 from Spain to my laptop in UK, both connected through Ethernet. Games are surprisingly playable, but as expected there are FPS drops, typically short but also frequent, so I wouldn't recommend it for games that require precision. Quality also seems to drop during scenes with high amount of visual changes, which is reasonable.

I mainly play remote play rather than my console straight up. Remote play has helped me tremendously with my medical conditions. I bought a PlayStation backbone a while ago and it’s completely worth it!

Of course we still need several fixes but remote play is headed in the right direction as of right now.

[mythoclast]

Like anywhere outside of your house? Edit: I’m at work and I tried it and yes it does work from anywhere. But you have to turn on data streaming in the app if you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection

[fattybrawl]

I can finally touch grass and play my PlayStation!

[khazms]

Remote Play is fine, but it should only be played with single player games and my real issue is that image quality or color is very degraded.
If you don't really care about the colors being dim and the complete opposite of vibrant, then remote play is pretty decent.

[AK-syhy]

With family and work taking most of my time, playing remotely is the only way I can enjoy PS5 games. I play using backbone and PlayStation controller and I love the experience! Thanks Sony!

[dogeymon]

Unless there is a miracle in technological advancement, the actual experience is never going to match how the commercial makes it look

[nodieza]

I use this feature more than I sit in front of my C1 just because I am so exhausted at the end of the day and the big TV just drains what energy I have left. It worked okay on the PS4 but the PS5 version is so much more stable.

PSPlay app + Kishi controller on one of my old phones (S8) sitting in bed has been an amazing experience. Perfect for RPGs/Looters like Diablo 2 and Trails. Screen can be a little small for something like Kingmaker, Cyberpunk so I also have a tablet and use a wired PS4 controller for games like those.

Worth a shot. I can even play something like Tactics Ogre using the touch screen controls on my phone.

[santiagocs]

Just bought a PS5 Slim, and have it on the living room where my family whatches movies all the time. Discovering this app has been the best and the TV being occupied is no longer an issue.
Thank you Sony that this was created!

[gregoryjamaalfulton]

As someone who works from home with aome downtime in-between calls this is actually pretty dope. Hook it to my phone or iPad and just run a game
