Whichever console your remote playing on - be it the PS4 or PS5 - must also either be turned or, console settings depending, be in rest mode for Remote Play to work. This includes games that require peripherals, such as the PlayStation VR or PlayStation Camera. It's important to note that not all games support Remote Play. Though a slower connection will work, you'll need at a minimum broadband speed of 5Mbps for Remote Play to work. Sony recommends having a broadband connection that is at least 12Mbps and using a LAN cable for the best experience. Remote Play allows you to play your PS5 or PS4 through other devices, be it a television or a smartphone.Īll you have to do is ensure that the device you wish to use for remote play has the PS Remote Play app and that the PS5, or PS4, is correctly set up for Remote Play and that you have a strong Internet connection to prevent as little lag as possible. I shall be giving the Remote Play a through testing over Christmas whilst back at the folks, and if it works well then I may just have to start buying digital copies of games.Watch on YouTube PlayStation 5 Review: Power, Thermals, Storage, DualSense + HDMI 2.1 Analysis Remote Play for the PS4 and PS5, including restrictions, explained The only problem I can see is I that I still prefer to buy disc versions of games and obviously while you are miles away from the PS4 you cannot change discs. So, in a couple of years from now, broadband speeds should have increased further and the graphical hiccups should vanish completely.

You probably won’t be able to play games – or at least not as well – that require split second decisions such as Need For Speed via Remote Play, but for slower paced games such as Contrast or Flower the tech works perfectly (including the Vita tilt controls mapping for those in a DualShock 4 in Flower), and the important thing to remember is this tech works now, today. Killzone multiplayer was the worst in terms of graphical glitches and lag, probably because the PS4 is uploading data to the servers as well as trying to stream, so I spent most of time as a sniper but it was just about playable. I have since tested Flower, Killzone single player and multiplayer, Contrast, DC Universe Online and Warframe on my Vita over the internet and they all worked. The graphics occasionally glitched but again I put this down to a dodgy internet connection in the office (I run 100mb fibre optic at home, so it’s not that). There seemed to be a small amount of lag on the controls but as I mentioned earlier, I was running on a rather useless WiFi connection. It was time to try some games, so I clicked over to Resogun and within seconds of it loading up, the title screen was in front of me and the music was playing. I will admit to being utterly amazed when I realised that it had worked, Remote Play is one of those things that seems like a good idea that never works in practise, but it had. It had worked! No fuss, no hassle, click a few icons and there was the new PS4 UI in glorious blue. Thirty seconds later the screen changed, and there was my PS4.

The Vita then spent about 30 seconds looking for my PS4 on the local network and obviously failed to find it, so went off to search the internet, the screen helpfully explaining this may take a few minutes. Nevertheless I turned on the Vita, tapped the PS4 Link icon and selected Remote Play. I had already synced up my Vita with my PlayStation 4 on launch day and I knew its big brother was in standby mode at home, but even so I didn’t expect it to work. In his initial overview of the features, Blair could not get the PS4 and PS Vita Remote Play to work over the internet, so I was not holding out much hope that I would get any response from the system, considering that I was at work and the public WiFi here is rather slow. It was a bit useless to be honest, there were very few games to play so all you could do was fiddle about on the XMB.

Back in the day I managed, after an awful lot of fiddling, to hook my PlayStation 3 up to my PSP for about two minutes whilst at home and it barely worked.
