  • Remote play has previously been a feature in Sony’s handheld platforms such as the PlayStation Portable and the soon-to-be defunct PlayStation Vita, but bringing the feature iOS will give even more users the opportunity to try it out. Sony's Remote Play feature basically lets users activate and control the home console from a mobile device.
  • The power of PlayStation® gaming, streamed to PS5™, PS4™, PC, Mac, Apple iOS or Android devices. A PS4 or PS5 console is required to stream your games to other devices. Remote play cannot be used on your mobile device’s cellular data network.

You know what mobile devices are great for? Mobile games. And you know what consoles are great for? Console games. Playing console games on a mobile device? Never really works, in my opinion.

Here’s how to use the Media Browser Remote on iOS for the Sony Streaming Player (SNO-N200). First download and install Media Remote app for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Then tap the icon to. Support for DualShock 4 controllers within iOS 13 and iPadOS is undeniably a huge step forward for passionate mobile gamers but it probably means more than most think. This support, in conjunction with Sony’s recently released Remote Play app, essentially makes iOS 13/iPadOS devices into portable PS4s. During the opening keynote of WWDC 2019 earlier this week, Apple made a song-and-dance about a. PS4 Remote Play for iOS devices launched earlier this year, so it's still fairly-new as services go. Hopefully, as time goes on, Sony will continue to work with Apple on ironing out the different kinks and backend issues.

Yet here we are, in 2019, and you can now play PS4 games on your iPhone or iPad with the PS4 Remote Play app. Why you'd want to is another question entirely, but we'll get to that.

Remote Play was previously an option on the PS Vita, allowing you to stream everything from your PS4 to your device for portable play, so long as you're in your own home. All you need is to turn your PS4 on, connect it and your Vita over WiFi, and bam, you're in.

The iOS app works in a similar fashion, only instead of having a good controller in your hands, you're faced with a mesmerising array of virtual buttons and joysticks that look more intimidating than anything you'll actually play.

The tech underneath all that works OK. Playing on an iPad Air 2 over a reasonable WiFi connection, the setup did suffer from a few bits of lag and stuttering while playing some games, but overall the graphics held strong and everything was pretty playable, even with the stuttering.

That said, those virtual controls are truly atrocious. The PS4 controller has been mapped onto a flat surface, so you'll need to play your screen like a piano to actually get things moving. L3 and R3 are triggered by double-tapping the left and right virtual joysticks, which feels a little clumsy but works out OK for the most part.

However, the buttons are really unresponsive. Trying to string a combo together in Tekken 7 is basically impossible, for example, and you can forget about trying to do a hadouken in Street Fighter. Playing games with complex configurations like Red Dead Redemption 2 is also basically impossible - really, anything that requires constant an immediate action is out.

Of course, you could play turn-based games and visual novels quite easily. If you fancy taking Persona 5 to bed so you don't have to play it on the big screen the whole time, that's pretty doable.

You also can't use a Bluetooth controller with the Remote Play either. If Sony had updated its PS4 controllers to work with an iPad, we'd have a game-changer on our hands. Sadly, for now, your only option is to jailbreak your device, which you really, really shouldn't do.

Still, this could work for some folks. I've seen children play Fortnite with mobile controls better than I can on a PS4, so if you're willing to tough it out and learn a new control scheme, maybe this will work for you. For the vast majority, however, this is a cool bit of tech that doesn't really work all that well.

With the PlayStation 4, Sony released a feature, which iOS users have been craving for years now. After being on Windows and Android platforms for a while now, the PS4 Remote Play app is finally hitting Apple's App Store allowing iPhone and iPad users to experience the application. With the help of this app, iOS users will be able to use an iPad or iPhone to display PS4 content over Wi-Fi.

If you have only one controller and still want to play with a friend, the Remote Play feature can convert your smartphone or tablet into a controller. Interestingly, Sony has also enabled voice chat support for some of the popular games. Additionally, users will be able to type on search bars and different areas using the keyboard on the iPhone or iPad, which is a huge plus as typing from the controller can be quite annoying at times.

According to Apple's App Store, the PS4 Remote Play app will run on any iOS device running on iOS version 12.1 or later. This means that anything above iPhone 5S should work perfectly fine. However, Sony recommends using an iPhone 7 or later, 6th-generation iPad or later, or a 2nd-generation iPad Pro or later for best results.
