PS4 Remote Play is finally on select phones and tablets.

PS4 Remote Play is finally on select phones and tablets, and it's amazing — when it works

[theXtReMe1]

Ive been playing GTA V via remote play on my G3, with the new software that allows it without a jailbreak. It works fairly well, with the caviet being that you have to jailbreak if you want to use the dualshock 4. Even with the onscreen controls, its not bad. But, as the article states, I ran into graphic glitches and drops... Even next to my console and on a 300Mb internet connection. My guess, is that it is either a coding error within the software itself or some sort of streaming issue with the router that a QoS nod may fix.

Either way, the issues were few enough that it didnt impede the experience that much and allowed for amazing gameplay and visuals, upscaled to 4K on my phone. Which, in GTA Vs case... Looked amazing!

The great thing about doing this with your smartphone, is many have mini HDMI out or Miracast... Giving you the ability to hook it up to any HDTV and have a portable PS4, wherever you go. Especially if you jailbreak and have dualshock 4 support and have a decent connection. If you buy your games digitally, you can play your entire library, anywhere you are, around the world.

That's pretty cool, I thought it could only be played over sony phones. Do you know if it would work with the note 4?

[theXtReMe1]

Id imagine it would work with any android-based unit. I think it has to be 4.2 or higher, as far as version though.

[IRetrouk]

Its works really well on a note 4. Tried driveclub on it, runs smooth and looks really nice on the 2k screen ;-)

[marlinfan10]

Nice, I'm gonna have to try it out

[bouzebbal]

Does anyone know if remote play is working on Xperia tablet Z2?
Thank you

[sfex3best]

The tablet z2 natively supports it dude.
And for those having problems try changing the wifi frequency to 5ghz.

[WeAreLegion]

Sweet. I'll try it with my G3 later.

[Errefus]

link?

[NuggetsOfGod]

Its on pc also. Seen an article about the other day

[BattleTorn]

I've got a PS4 Remote Play app on my (stock) Android already ;)

I've used remote play on my pc (via bluestack), using completely wired connection, it still lags a little bit at times but for the most part its perfectly fine.

I own the Xperia Z3 and so far my experience with remote play has been very poor. There are near constant connection issues that either cause massive lag spikes or drops in image quality. Even when at full strength WiFi it will often say connection lost.

[UKmilitia]

me too dude but im on z2,but exact same issue

[Pillage05]

Ds4 interferes with a 2.4ghz connection pretty bad. It works better if you have a dual band router and connect your phone through 5ghz to the router. Also turn off location on your phone while remote playing.

Did mine lastnight running on galaxy note 3 sweet!

Duplicate story submitted an hour after with a different title.

[telekineticmantis]

Would of been really cool, if you could take it on the road with you. Hopefully that becomes possible one day.

[madmonkey01]

you can like on the vita, as far as i know anyway.

[kma2k]

my son was playing minecraft at a friends house the other night for about an hour on my phones 4G. It disconnected once but other than that it had no problems.

[Minute Man 721]

Nice, not bad. But come Feb (income tax time) grabbing that Vita

[s45gr32]

Question does it work outside the house or is like the Wii U pad that only works inside the house.

[G20WLY]

It works anywhere you can access the internet. Works well on my Z3, with DualShock 4 clipped to it! :)

[s45gr32]

Oh shit that's dope then, basically if I buy a PS4 own a smartphone. I can basically take my PS4 library on my smartphone and play it on Starbucks, MCDonald or a hotel without carrying my PS4 with me.

[LamerTamer]

I don't see the point. I could see this running on an Nvidia Shield because at least that has a full controller attached to a screen. But on a phone? No thanks.

[kma2k]

you can root your phone & connect your ps4 controller to it. You can also buy a super cheap clip that connects your phone to you rcontroller & your good to go. My phone is a G2 not rooted i just plugged in at OTA cable & my controller & it worked natively just fine.

[Ch1d0r1]

Awww not compatible with my galaxy tab Pro 4 :(

[RioKing]

not yet

[Ch1d0r1]

So theres hope :) this tablet is a beast. Figured it be in the list.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

I sometimes play on my Z2 tablet and even with a fairly mediocre Internet speed, its still pretty impressive with the DS4.

[killkool]

Another great sony inovation that people (journalists, etc) ignore or downplay...if it was from tendo or crosoft it would be " a revolutiiiiion" :)
