Set up Remote Play on PS5 to take your games on the go

The PlayStation Remote Play app allows players to stream the games they're playing on their PS4 or PS5 to another device, such as a phone or PC. Maybe you feel like lying back in bed and are comfortable playing the best PS5 games that way instead of sitting on a couch or chair? Then Remote Play is the way to go. Here's how to set up Remote Play on PS5 with Android devices.

How to set up Remote Play on PS5 with Android devices

Before you begin, note that Remote Play requires, at minimum, a 5 Mbps internet connection. A 15 Mbps connection or higher is highly recommended to have as smooth an experience as possible. It's also worth noting that right now, you'll have to use a PS5 DualSense controller (on Android 12 or above), a PS4 DualShock 4 or touch controls with Remote Play on Android with the PS5.

While you can pair the DualSense controller thanks to an update for Android 12 that added support, you can't take advantage of the controller's special features through Remote Play. Later on, it might be possible to use the DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, but not right now. Finally, make sure your mobile device (or whatever else you decide to use Remote Play with) is connected to the same internet as your PS5.

  1. Download the PS Remote Play app via the Google Play Store.
  2. If you want to, now is the time to pair your DualShock 4 controller.
  3. To pair the controller, make sure it is turned off.
  4. Now hold down the Share button and PS button at the same time.
  5. The lightbar will begin flashing.
  6. Go under your phone's Bluetooth settings and pair the controller.
  7. Now, open the PS Remote Play app. You'll need to sign in with your PSN ID.
  8. Next, open Settings on your PS5.

  9. Go to System.

  10. Enable Remote Play.
  11. When you browse for available consoles under the Remote Play app, your PS5 should now show up as an option.
  12. Simply connect and you're good to go.

While Remote Play is limited by being on the same dedicated internet connection, it provides some flexibility with how you enjoy your PlayStation games. Of course, if you truly want the best experience possible, you'll want to play natively on your PS5 with one of the best 4K TVs but using Remote Play is a neat alternative.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
