Remote Play gives you more control over your Playstation 4. PS4 Remote Play is compatible with Sony Xperia smart phones and tablets, and it allows you to use your mobile device as an alternative screen to your primary television or computer monitor. It's a great choice for people living with roommates or family, where access to the TV may be highly competitive.

PS4 Remote Play manages to achieve its objectives through the use of the internet. As long as your device and your Playstation 4 are connected to the same network (and the PS4 isn't otherwise in use), Remote Play allows your Playstation 4 to stream its gaming content directly to your phone. Any compatible Dualshock controller can plug directly into the micro USB port of your Xperia device so that you can have an authentic gaming experience just like you're used to on a traditional TV.

Due to the high level of computational power required to stream PS4 content, a strong internet connection is required. Users are advised not to use PS4 Remote Play on a public WiFi connection or on a network that's already seeing a high volume of use. It requires your PS4 to be updated with the newest patches and updates.
