There are few things as unpleasant as being in the middle of a game you’re deeply involved in and having to leave the house to spend a few days. However, the good news is that Xbox with Game Pass games and PlayStation allow us to continue our games from our mobile.
Then I will tell you how to play PS5 from your Android mobile inside and outside the home thanks to remote console gaming. It’s a super simple setup and the quality of service has improved a lot in recent years. Of course, you need to have good data throughput and adequate speed.
Your PS5 on your mobile both inside and outside the house
First of all and this is Differentiate between remote gaming on PlayStation and other forms of streaming gaming on mobile. The reason is that gameplay streaming does not require us to have a system at home to play the game locally. An example is Amazon Luna or Xbox Cloud Computing.
We just pay for the subscription and we can play whatever is available at that time. With PS5 Remote Play or Steam Link, things change. And in this case it is necessary that we have hardware on which the content is played locally while it sends the signal to the mobile.
Presentations made, Enabling PS5 Remote Play to have a PS5 outside the home is very simple. The first thing to do is download the app, which you can do from this link to the Play Store.
Once installed, it will ask for your PSN data. This is the same email and password that you use to access PSN on your PlayStation, so you should have no problems and, immediately after, we should access the console.
This is something that is indicated to us in the application itself, so there is no loss. Inside your PS5, you need to go to the settings icon at the top right, the one that looks like a gear, and search for “System”. Inside, navigate until you find “Remote Play” and make sure the “Enable Remote Play” box is… enabled.
Following the instructions in the app is very simple, but there is one more step you need to complete on your mobile to actually be able to play your PS5 wherever you are. And this enables remote play via data connection.
To do this, in the phone application, click on the gear icon at the top right and immediately on “Mobile data”. There, this allows us enable the use of remote playback by data and configure the quality. By default, it is set to “Standard”, which consumes around 2.5 GB per hour of transmission, but you can consume a little less in low quality or up to 6.8 GB in optimal quality.
In this way, You can play your PS5 away from home whenever you want and from your Android mobile. Now there is a very interesting point to keep in mind. And you don’t need to leave the console on to play outside the house. The trick is to leave it idle so that it uses less power than when it was on while still being able to access it from anywhere using mobile data.
Simply, in the console shutdown options, select “Enter sleep mode” and that’s it. This way, you can play your PS5 from your mobile both at home connected to the same WiFi network as the console and outside the house using another WiFi network or your tariff data.
And if, As we said, the quality of service has improved a lot over the years and even with the digital controls of the mobile phone, the experience is very good. In this way we will not need to carry a DualSense with us, since the digital buttons will appear on the screen and here it depends on each person, but I play action games and 2D platforms very well from this way, but I’m good at shooting games…sorrow.
