A PS5 console or PS4 console is required for Remote Play.

• Does Ps4 Remote Play Use Local Network

With Remote Play, you can control your PlayStation® console remotely wherever you have a high-speed internet connection.
Using the [PS Remote Play] app, you can control your PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console from a device in a different location.
For example, you can use a computer in another room or a smartphone^* when you’re out to enjoy PS5™ and PS4™ games.

You can’t use Remote Play on your mobile device’s cellular data network. A high-speed Wi-Fi® network is required.

The following are the different combinations of compatible devices and PlayStation consoles for using Remote Play. For instructions on downloading the app and getting started with Remote Play, go to one of the links below.

Control your PS4 console

Now You Can Play PS4 Games on iPhone and iPad Sony decided to release a PS4 remote play app for iOS, which means the days of questionable remote play are over! 4,5 years after being launched on Android and other platforms, PS4 remote play is now available on iPhones and iPads with the PS4 6.50 update. In late 2018, Sony announced the Remote Play feature for Windows 10. However, it comes with a lot of pre-requisites like a faster Wi-Fi network with a minimum download speed of 15 Mbps. And to top that, the sluggish response time with the PS4 controller.
