PS Remote Play

The application enables a user to operate a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console from a separate device when a high‑speed internet connection is available. It streams the console’s video and audio to the client device and forwards controller input, allowing games and other console functions to be accessed remotely. Supported client platforms include Windows PCs, macOS computers, mobile devices, Android TV, and certain PlayStation hardware such as the PS Portal, PS Vita, and PS TV.

Typical users are owners of PS4 or PS5 consoles who want to play games or navigate the system from another room, while traveling, or on a device that does not have a local console attached. The software is useful for extending the console’s reach to secondary screens or for sharing access between multiple devices in a household.

The program is maintained as a stable release, with recent updates focusing on improving stability of various features. Compatibility is limited to games that do not require specific peripherals such as PlayStation VR, VR2, or the PlayStation Camera, and certain services like Share Play or broadcasting cannot be used simultaneously with Remote Play.
