Both your PS5 and remote device need to be connected to the internet in order to work – not necessarily on the same network, but that would improve performance. PlayStation recommends you have at least 5Mbps internet download speeds, but recommends at least 15Mbps for a better experience. This means you could play any game on your PS5 via your smartphone, whether you’re in another room in your house or away from home, as long as you have a strong internet connection.


It allows users to control and use their PS5 from other devices, such as a PS4, PC or smartphone. The PS5 remote play app is a new version of the remote play app on PS4, so it’s not entirely new as a feature.
