It is possible to play on the PlayStation console from a mobile phone thanks to Sony’s platform called PS Remote Play. This allows users to enjoy games like Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2, and others directly on their mobile devices, dispensing with the physical console.
Likewise, gamers can connect their controllers to the platform to live the experience completely but from their cell phone.
How to link your PS console to your mobile app
1. Turn on the PlayStation console or put it in rest mode.
2. Go to the PS Remote Play site.
3. Sign in with the same account open on the console.
The app finds the console where you’re signed in with that account, and then connects to it automatically. PS Remote Play also supports the use of DualSense or DualShock controllers.
After you connect, the console screen will be displayed on your mobile device and you can start using PS Remote Play. If multiple consoles are found, select the one you want to use.
It’s important to note that if it’s been a long time since the user signed in to the console, it won’t be possible to search for or connect to the console on the mobile device.
Sony notes that: “During Remote Play, you may see the message “Remote Play Connected” at the top of the screen. This message appears when another user signs in to your PS5 console while using the Remote Play feature. When that user logs out of the PS5 console, the message disappears.”
What is needed to connect your phone to your PS console
To remotely use the PS console, you need to have an Android phone or tablet, as well as an iPhone or iPad. It is also important to consider that this process can only be done with a PS4 or PS5 console.
“As standard, we recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 5 Mbps. For best performance, we recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps,” advises Sony.
Remote use consumes more data than most video streaming services. If the user decides to use this function with mobile data, it is advisable to be vigilant to avoid exceeding the data limit and thus avoid possible increases in the mobile phone bill.
When is it useful to use a SP remotely?
Using a PlayStation remotely is useful in a variety of scenarios:
– It allows users to access and play their games from any location with an internet connection, using compatible mobile devices.
– It facilitates the possibility of sharing the screen of the console with friends or family who are not physically present, allowing collaborative gaming sessions or the visualization of progress.
– It allows you to maintain the progress of games, allowing users to continue playing from where they left off on the main console, as long as they have access to the internet and are logged in with the account enabled on the console.
– It is useful for testing and tweaking the settings of the console and its games from a remote location, without the need to be physically present in front of the console.
– Provides quick access to additional console features, such as managing downloads, updates, and viewing live streams, from any location with connectivity.
PlayStation’s remote access feature offers flexibility and convenience, allowing players to enjoy their games and manage their console remotely from different environments.
