Playstation 4 Remote App

PS4 Remote Play app will let you stream from your PS5

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.
Well, that’s what PS4 Remote Play lets you do if you have a PS4, a DualShock 3 or 4 controller and a Sony Xperia smartphone or tablet. It does help to have a stand or a controller-mounted cradle for your Xperia, but other than that, this app requires very little to work.

Use PS Remote Play to access your PS4 or PS5 via Wi-Fi wherever you go. Display the PS4 or PS5 screen on your mobile device. Use the on-screen controller on your mobile device to control your PS4 or PS5. DUALSHOCK 4 controllers can be used with mobile devices that have iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later installed.

Remote Play on PlayStation 4, which lets console owners access their PS4 from a PC or mobile device to stream games over a wireless connection, is getting an upgrade. Now, Remote Play on PS4 will also let users connect to and stream games from the PlayStation 5. Australia, New Zealand, and South America. (The rest of the world will get the PS5 one week later, on Nov. 19.) We haven’t been able to test the PS4’s new Remote Play feature ourselves, but the option would presumably allow control of PlayStation 5 games using a DualShock 4 controller, something that isn’t supported on PS5. (As Sony notes in its FAQ, the new DualSense wireless controller is not compatible with the PlayStation 4.) As for Remote Play on PlayStation 5, that will work in the same way it did on PS4: Players will be able to access their PS5 from a PC or mobile device. Remote Play on PC for PS5 games will support the DualSense wireless controller via a wired USB connection.

Install the app

You’ll only need to do these steps the first time you use the app. You can use the same app to connect to your PS5 console and PS4 console.

Download [PS Remote Play] and save it to your desktop or other location.
Read the “SIE application end user license agreement” as well as “Privacy policy”. Itunes not downloading for mac. When you select the checkbox, the download button will become available.

Download

Run the installation file, and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the app.
During the installation, you might see a request to download additional software that’s needed to use [PS Remote Play]. To download this software, follow the on-screen instructions.

Set up your PS5 console

Set up your PS5 console in the following ways. You’ll only need to do this the first time you use Remote Play:

From the home screen, select [Settings] > [System] > [Remote Play], and then turn on [Enable Remote Play].
To start Remote Play while your PS5 console is in rest mode, select [Settings] > [System] > [Power Saving] > [Features Available in Rest Mode]. Then turn on [Stay Connected to the Internet] and [Enable Turning on PS5 from Network].

Start Remote Play

You’ll take the following steps each time you connect to your PS5 console from your Windows PC.

1.: Turn on your PS5 console or put it into rest mode.
2.: Use a USB cable to connect your controller to your Windows PC.
3.: Launch [PS Remote Play] on your Windows PC, and then select [Sign In to PSN].
4.: Sign in with the same account that you use for your PS5 console.
When you select [Settings], you can configure video quality settings for Remote Play such as resolution and frame rate.
5.: Select [PS5].
The app searches for the PS5 console that you’ve signed in to using your account, and then connects to the console automatically. After it connects, the screen of your PS5 console displays on your Windows PC and you can start using Remote Play. If multiple PS5 consoles are found, select the console that you’d like to use.
From the second time onwards, you’ll be able to select the console that you connected to previously.

If it’s been more than 60 days since you last logged into your PS5 console, you won’t be able to connect to it. Before trying to connect remotely from outside your home, check that your device connects properly while you are near your PS5 console.
If the app can’t find the device that you’d like to connect, or if you can’t use Remote Play, see “When Remote Play is not available”.

Using Remote Play with HDR video quality

If your Windows PC and PS5 console are connected to a display or TV that supports HDR, you can use Remote Play with HDR video quality.
