Sony finally released the PS4 Remote Play app for iOS today, which allows you to play your favourite PS4 games on your iPhone or iPad provided you’re connected to WiFi.
While it’s pretty straightforward to use, we thought we’d put together a guide and FAQ that details the entire process. We’ll also clear up any questions you might have involving connection speeds, playing while away from home, and which devices are supported.
You can grab the PS4 Remote Play app right now from the App Store or Google Play, though bear in mind that the Android version currently only works on Sony Xperia devices.
It’s a pretty easy process which we’ll detail in steps below:
Hit the gear-shaped icon on the top right of the app to change settings. You can adjust the resolution of the stream, from 360p all the way up to 1080p. You can also change your frame rate, sign into a different network account, and connect to different PS4s. This means friends can use your device to connect to their PS4s.
You’ll need at least an iPhone 7 or sixth generation iPad to use Remote Play. It won’t work on any lower device.
Technically, this is feasibly possible, but we couldn’t get this to function during our test. We were even using a much faster internet connection than our home connect, but it said that the speed was too slow.
We’d recommend only trying if you have an insanely fast internet speed, otherwise you’ll have to bit the bullet and only use Remote Play while at home.
Sadly not. Given that iOS doesn’t support this controller, Remote Play doesn’t either.
Yep! Fortunately, any MFi controller works just fine on the Remote Play app. We had a great experience using the SteelSeries Nimbus.
