What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews.
So PS4 remote play is now available to enjoy on all devices.
So Sony has finally opened the doors. So this includes any Android smartphone or
tablet and iOS devices including iPad and iPhones and of course PC and Mac
What is Remote Play? So some of you guys may not know what this is.
PS4 Remote Play allows you to remotely play your ps4 and PS 4 pro games on a portable device like a smartphone tablet or even
laptop so you can be playing your ps4 on your main screen and as long as your
portable device is connected to the same broadband network you can switch the
gaming to the portable device similar to how the Nintendo switch works and
continue playing anywhere in the house now for this to work you need to update
your ps4 firmware to version 7 which I have already done so in this video we
are going to test out remote play on multiple devices I have the brand new
iPhone 11 Pro max I also have the hawawa P 30 Pro and those are flagships but we
also want to see how it's going to work on more budget orientated devices so
here is the doogie s90 it's running a mediatek cpu so I want to show you guys
that it will actually work on any device not just flagships now we've also got
the Xiaomi me pad 4 and also the first generation iPad air so this is the first
iPad air it's not the latest one and these are the devices I'm going to test
out ps4 remote play on now you can also connect the DualShock 4 via bluetooth to
give you a much better experience so without any further ado let's get
started and we are going to begin with the iPhone 11 Pro max my PlayStation 4
is on in the background you can see that's my screen right there
ps4 screen is ready I've already installed ps4 remote play so let's get
it open and all you do is click on start now you do need to sign in so your usual
PlayStation login quickly sign in I'm going to do that as well okay so that's
signing in as soon as you sign in it will say searching for ps4 now you do
need to make sure that your PlayStation 4
your smartphone is on the exact same network so this is the first time I'm
connecting with my iPhone 11 and there you go so there's a remote play now if
you do use it in portrait mode this is how it's going to look we just back out
just to show you in real time that it works with no lag at all now of
course it's not really practical to play in this mode so if we flip it around
landscape you can see now that the touch controls still work now I will try
loading up a game and my favorite game right now is UFC 3 I absolutely love
that game so let's just get it loaded up
so I could technically be anywhere in the house right now as long as I stay in
the house and I'm connected to the same Wi-Fi network I can play my ps4 games on
the iPhone 11 pro max so I am going to show you in real time how this plays so
my television sound is off there is no sound on the television right now the
sound is actually coming from my smart phone so I turn it up
he missed the biscuit ok so you can see that it's working absolutely fine with
no lag at all I am going to connect my PlayStation 4 controller and show you
how easy it is to connect as well so if I put this phone down you pick up your
PlayStation 4 controller and what you're going to do is press the share button
and the PS button at the same time until you see that light up so here we go one
two three
there so we are in bluetooth pairing mode now so grab your iPhone come out of
the game go into Bluetooth settings and what you have to do is connect to your
PlayStation 4 controller there you go Dualshock 4 wireless controller has
appeared and i've connected to it it says connected and you can see the light
is steady now so we have connected the DualShock controller now go back into
ps4 remote play you're gonna have to start it again because it does
disconnect ok so I've got my game controller set up the Bluetooth is
connected to the iPhone 11 Pro Macs and you can see it works absolutely fine
completely wireless connection there we go
backed up man get bonuses low
punch
and that is it so that was I phoned 11pro max the next device we're going to
do is Android and we are going to try the p30 Pro now you can only be
connected to one device at a time connecting to the ps4 and I've got the
message that I'm connected on the ps4 so in a moment or two you should see the
screen mirrored there we go
so the screen is mirrored you can see it's working if I turn my volume up and
again the volume you're hearing is coming directly from the smartphone
landscape mode you cannot use the dual shop for in ps4 remote play because this
device does not support it so the p30 pro does not support Dual Shock 4 even
though I'm connected it just doesn't work so we are going to have to use the
touchscreen and we will try the game play out and then we'll move on to the
next device so here we go so we're going to stick with this game you can see if
there's any lag in the background
so you can get away with it but you cannot press r1 and then press a punch
at the same time for the specials it gets a bit tricky so so using the
touchscreen to do your special moves is not going to be easy you can still play
the game but controller support is absolutely needed if you play less
complex games you can probably get away with that on screen touch control now
the more experienced younger audience can probably get away with that
touchscreen and do everything on it I've seen my nephew's do it and I don't know
how they do it but they can play any game with the touch screen so let me
know what you guys think about that so that's the p30 pro working absolutely
fine so the next device I've connected to is the doogie s90 and unfortunately
the DualShock 4 controller is not compatible with the doogie either so if
we just grab the phone you can see that it works fine I'll open up the game
we just play the same game cuz just makes things easier for me here we go
a in the ocean
microphone check one two one two oh nice kick
now here's a very interesting device that I want to test so this is the
Samsung Galaxy alpha the smartphone released in 2014
it's running Android version 5 and there are no updates this is Android 5 one of
the oldest phones that I have still got and PlayStation 4 remote play we are
going to test on this device and if it works on this device is going to work on
more or less any device the DualShock 4 controller is not going to be compatible
with this smartphone either quickly go into the game and show you that ps4
remote play works fine on a 2014 device
so you can see that PlayStation 4 remote play works on an old Samsung Galaxy
alpha and you can see it works fine with actually no lag at all so it means that
any phone that you have in your hand is going to work with remote play you'll be
able to play your PlayStation 4 on it now the next device we're going to test
is the iPad and as you can see the first generation iPad air is also connected
remotely now unfortunately I could not connect their DualShock 4 controller to
the iPad and let's try playing ps4 on the iPad and see how that experience
goes
you made when you have Margit though you gotta back up
Wow so the next device we are testing this on is the xiaomi pad for here we go
so there you have it guys that was my video showing you some ps4 remote play
in action on a number of different devices now I have read online if you
want to play with the Bluetooth DualShock 4 controller your Android
device must be at least Android version 10 and your iOS device must be at least
iOS 13 which explains why the Bluetooth controller only worked on the new iPhone
11 Pro Macs and not on the other devices on this desk nevertheless ps4 remote
play is now working on all android smartphones
sony has taken an amazing step in the right direction and this update is the
best we have had from sony in a very long time and I hope you guys found this
video useful thank you so much for watching and I hope you all have a
brilliant day I'll see you guys in the next one
