A hassle-free way to stream your gameplay from the makers of the PS4

With Remote Play and a DualShock 4 wireless controller, your PS4, games, home screen, and more can be streamed via your home broadband network or over the internet when you are away from home.  This app allows one to use your existing WiFi to mirror and play PS4 games on a variety of devices, including your Android phone, iPhone, iPad, laptop, or desktop.

On phones and tablets you can even use your PS4 controller through existing Bluetooth connectivity.  Connecting your iPhone or Android phone is only an app away, and the instructions for connecting it to your PS4 are a matter of following an easy set of steps that capitalize on features that already exist on your phone or PC.

There are a variety of options for connectivity, including both wireless and wired connections.  On a Windows PC or Mac, the controller can be plugged in with a USB cable, and Sony recommends a wired LAN connection for the console and a connection speed of at least 15 Mbps for the best results. 

No more fighting over the family TV.  Remote Play gives you many more options to play your favorite PS4 games virtually anywhere on portable devices such as your phone or laptop.  One can take their favorite PS4 DualShock controller to make the gameplay as viable as it is using a TV.  The same app, now called PS Remote Play, also connects to a PS5 console, and you sign in with your PlayStation Network account to pair it.  Best of all, the downloads for the apps are free and readily available.
