Stream your PS5 to iPhone or iPad and keep playing from the couch, the bedroom, or anywhere else in the house, and once your router is set up, even when you're away from home. ULTRA-CLEAR STREAMING Up to 1080p with H.265 / H.264 hardware decoding for a crisp, detailed picture. Turn on HDR when your PS5 is connected to an HDR TV, and on supported iPhones turn on Super Resolution to keep 540p and 720p sharp. SILKY SMOOTH Up to 120 fps on supported iPhones, with game audio in sync and responsive Bluetooth and touch controls. NO STUTTER, NO DROPPED FRAMES Error correction and picture recovery when the network hiccups, and automatic reconnection if the connection drops. Choose from three smoothing levels, and get tips for your router and phone when Wi-Fi keeps dropping. FREE TO TRY Free to download: play first, then decide. Only time with the picture playing counts toward the trial, stutter doesn't count, and you can spread it over several sessions. If you like it, a one-time purchase of the Full Version unlocks unlimited play. No subscription. FEEL EVERY PART OF THE CONTROLLER - Game Vibration: your controller rumbles with the game; with touch controls or a controller without motors, your iPhone vibrates instead - Trigger Effects: resistance and vibration on L2 and R2 in PS5 games, on DualSense - Touchpad: swipe and click your controller's touchpad; touch controls in the PS button style have a touchpad you can swipe on too - Motion: your controller's motion sensors just work; with no PlayStation controller connected, turn and tilt your iPhone instead - Mic: use your iPhone's microphone for in-game voice chat and games where you blow into the mic - The PS and Create buttons go straight to your PS5, just like in front of the TV PLAY AWAY FROM HOME If your home internet has a public IP address (or you use a virtual private network) and your router forwards the right ports, enter the address under Play Away from Home on the console's page and connect to your PS5 at home over cellular or another Wi-Fi network. HOW IT WORKS 1. Put your iPhone and your PS5 on the same Wi-Fi and turn on Remote Play on the PS5. 2. Sign in to PSN once in RemoStation (on Sony's official sign-in page; your password is only ever entered on Sony's site), then enter the 8-digit code shown on the console. 3. From then on, just open the app and tap Start Playing. A console in Rest Mode can be woken up from the app. MORE FEATURES - Works with Bluetooth controllers such as DualSense, DualShock 4 and Xbox controllers - Touch controls: PS, Xbox or Switch button styles in Compact, Full or Floating layouts; adjust every button's position, size and opacity, and set up combos and turbo - Play history: what you played and for how long - Questions? Write to the developer right from Settings PLEASE NOTE - PS5 only for now; PS4 is not supported yet - Remote Play must be turned on on the PS5 - 120 fps and Super Resolution need an iPhone with iOS 26 or later, and 120 fps also needs a 120 Hz display; HDR, 120 fps and Super Resolution work one at a time - Playing away from home over cellular at 720p and 5 Mbps uses about 2.2 GB per hour - For the steadiest picture, connect the console to your router with a cable and your iPhone to 5 GHz Wi-Fi PlayStation, PS5 and DualSense are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.
