For reasons unknown to the public (other than Sony being Sony), it’s been confirmed that the PS5 won’t feature remote play with the Playstation Vita.
- PS Remote Play is a free to use feature on all PS4 and PS5 consoles. All you need is: Your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition, PS4 or PS4 Pro 2 connected to your home wired broadband network. A compatible device – also connected to your network. The free PS Remote Play app. A DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller or DualSense controller 3.
- I was thinking about buying a cheap, used vita. Does the remote play tend to work well? Log in or sign up to leave a comment Log In Sign Up. No comments yet. Be the first to share what you think! View Entire Discussion (0 Comments) More posts from the PS4 community.
If you were one of the people who were hoping to take their latest-gen gaming to the loo, I’m afraid you’re in for a rude awakening. And I don’t mean the continued toilet paper shortages of 2020.
We kind of saw it coming, but a new update to the Remote Play app, as well as some other minor updates, gave the game up.
Want more info? Here’s a video from our good friend 2 old 4 gaming on the matter:
You can register one PS4™ system on your system for remote play. Log in to the PS4™ system. When logging in to the PS4™ system, select the user that is linked to the same Sony Entertainment Network account as your system. On your system, select (PS4 Link) Start Remote Play.
The most disappointing, but perhaps not surprising, thing about this is that it’s a totally arbitrary decision. Since all of the actual game stuff happens on the PS5, the Vita only needs to stream a video signal from the PS5 to itself.
The process is no different whether it’s running on a PS4, PS5 or PS25.
But of course, Sony could not pass up an opportunity to take a dump on Vita fans.
One more for the books, I guess.
