I’ve only had a short time to use PS4 Remote Play, but I’ve been impressed with the experience when using a controller over my home WiFi, which consistently delivers over 300 Mbps downstream. The frame rate can also be adjusted between Standard and High. There’s also an option for 360p resolution, though I wouldn’t suggest using that setting unless you’re desperate for a PS4 gaming fix.
PS4 REMOTE PLAY GAMES 1080P
On the PS4, that can be increased to 720p, but only the PS4 Pro supports 1080p resolution. By default, the app sets the resolution at 540p.

Resolution takes a noticeable hit when playing remotely, but games are still surprisingly playable with a controller.īefore you get started, it’s important to keep the limitations of PS4 Remote Play in mind. Sony’s DualShock controllers aren’t supported for remote play, but as noted by Killercow on Twitter if you’re within range of your PS4, you can connect to your PS4 as one user and then connect via the PS4 Remote Play app as another user, which allows you to use a DualShock controller as the first user while still viewing the game on your iOS device: You won’t have access to the 元 and R3 buttons on a controller like the Nimbus, but it’s a far better experience overall. Based on my brief testing, an MFi controller is the way to go for anything but the most basic casual game. Playing PS4 games with virtual controls is doable, but difficult, which is why I’m glad to see that the app also supports MFi controllers like the SteelSeries Nimbus. The 元 and R3 buttons that are available when you press down on the analog sticks on a PS4 controller are mapped to double taps on the thumbsticks. Analog sticks are controlled using virtual thumbsticks that appear when you place your fingers on the left and right sides of the screen.
