PlayStation remote gaming, better than ever
If the TV is busy right now, you can still play Play on any Android device through PS Remote Play, with which you can stream your console. It’s a bit like a local Stadia.
The image is streamed from the console, and the mobile itself broadcasts the movements, either by means of the virtual control superimposed on the screen or connect the PlayStation controller to the mobile. The latest update for PS Remote Play improves this connection.
For starters, it’s finally possible connect a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, although you will need Android 12 to fully enjoy it. It is possible to pair it with Android 11, but then advanced functions such as touchpad, vibration control and LEDs will not be available.

The same thing happens with the PlayStation 4 DualShock controller, which gains more functions in Android 12. It was already possible to connect it for basic use, but with Android 12 and the latest version, support for touchpad, motion sensor, vibration and battery level is included.
That is, with Android 12 you can connect PS4 and PS5 controllers to PS Remote Play and get the most out of it. With previous versions you can also connect them, but not all of its functions will be available.
