How to Use PS5 Remote Play to Stream to PS4
The PlayStation 4 has a built-in PS5 Remote Play app that lets you stream games from your PlayStation 5. With it, you can connect your consoles to different TVs and pick up games from another room. The PS5 Remote Play app should already be on your PlayStation 4, provided you’ve kept the firmware up to date.
Limitations Using PS5 Remote Play
You should be aware of a few limitations when you stream your PS5 to the PS4. Here are some things to consider:
Leave Power On: This option only disconnects the PlayStation 4. Nothing will change on your PlayStation 5. Use it if you play to switch back to the PS5 to continue your game.Put in Rest Mode: Use this command if you’re done playing for now. It will place your PS5 into a low-power standby mode until you wake it up.
You can not pair a PS5 controller with a PS4, so you may have trouble with some games that use the special features of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense. Titles that require peripherals like PlayStation VR won’t work with Remote Play. Depending on the speed of your network, you may experience some input lag while you’re playing. A standard PS4 won’t be able to display in the PS5’s full, 4K resolution. The higher the resolution you use on the PS4, the more taxing it will be on your network.
How to Change the Resolution for PS5 Remote Play
You may lose the connection to your PS5 if your network can’t handle the load between streaming from the PS5 and loading the image onto the PS4. The quickest way to fix this problem is to decrease the Remote Play app’s display resolution on the PlayStation 4.
