Nothing matches the convenience of hopping into a match of Brawlhalla or Rocket League while you’re waiting at the bus stop. Gaming on the go has increased in popularity over these past few years thanks to consoles like Valve's Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Long gone are the days when you had to play shoddy mobile games to kill time. And even if you don’t have a handheld console, you can simply stream your Steam library directly from your PC to your smartphone anywhere in the world, all thanks to Steam Link.

Sony's DualSense controller now works with PS Remote Play on Apple devices

PS Remote Play started off as a Sony Xperia Z series exclusive, allowing certain devices like the Xperia Z3 to connect to a PlayStation 4 gaming console on the same network and stream console games to the smartphone. You could play either with the DualShock 4 controller or use the on-screen buttons. Remote Play was opened up to all Android and iOS devices back in October 2019, with PlayStation 5 support coming in a year later. But for a good part of 8 months now, users could only use the DualShock 4 controller even if they were streaming off a PlayStation 5. Sony is finally fixing this now with DualSense support for PS Remote Play on Apple devices.

The PlayStation 5 is right around the corner now, and with it, the next generation of consoles is coming. I'm gonna be honest with you: even with the rise of game streaming services like Google Stadia and Microsoft's xCloud, I'm still more of a fan of owning my own hardware and playing things locally. And owning your own hardware doesn't mean that you have to be in front of your console either. With Sony's PlayStation Remote Play app, you can play all of your favorite games on your console, no matter where you are.

[Update: Available for download] Sony finally makes PS4 Remote Play available for all Android devices

Back when the Sony Xperia Z3 was launched, Sony tried to capitalize on its gaming ecosystem by gifting the device an exclusive feature: PS4 Remote Play. As the name suggests, PS4 Remote Play allows certain Sony Xperia devices to connect to a PlayStation 4 gaming console that is connected to the same network as the smartphone, and then stream console games to the smartphone. You could play with either the DualShock 4 controller connected to your smartphone, or simply use the on-screen button that comes up as an overlay. Remote Play has officially remained a Sony-smartphone exclusive (on Android) for years now, but Sony has finally realized the greater good in opening up the feature to more popular devices, as PS4 Remote Play is now available for all Android devices.

If you are lucky enough to own both a PlayStation 4 console and a Sony Xperia smartphone or tablet, then you might be aware of a service available to you: Remote Play, an app that enables you to play PS4 games on your smartphone by streaming it through your console.
