Do you have a PlayStation 4? Do you have an Android mobile? Well, you can now play streaming from your mobile phone! Well, or you can shortly. We tell you how it works and what you need to play your PS4 on Android.
The people of Sony, historically, have allowed you to play streaming to your PS4 if you had one of their phones, the Sony Xperia with the application PS4 Remote Play. But this now seems to have changed and Sony wants to allow you to play your PS4 on any mobile. Little by little you will implement it, how will it work?
PS4 on your Android
Sony has made an announcement on their blog that we can now stream on any Android phone with Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher. But wait, don't go so fast to the Play Store to get the app, there is a small setback.
Although Sony has explicitly announced it on its blog that now you can stream on any mobile phone and that you only "need to download Remote Play from the Play Store." Still We cannot download the application from the Play Store. When you access the app from the Android application store, it will tell you that it is not available for any of your devices (if you don't have an Xperia, of course).
These news have been included in the list of news for the PlayStation 7.00 update 4, which launches this week. It is one of the great updates that have to reach the company's console, and that possibly when we arrive we can already stream our games on the phone.
PS4 controller support
The Japanese company has also stated in its post that We can use the PS4 controller as a Bluetooth controller on phones with Android 10. Yes, something difficult since very few phones have received Android 10 at the moment, and it is possible that the mobiles of many users are left out of this option due to updates from their phone manufacturer.
Anyway, at the moment it is confirmed that it can be used officially for any game, if not as support for Remote Play, so it may not be the definitive gaming experience we were looking for for Android.
Perhaps not all users will want to play their PS4 on their Android, but the truth is that it is excellent news to have this option. Will Sony have put the batteries to compete against Google Stadia?
What do you think? Would you play on your PS4 on your Android on your local network? Or do you prefer to use the PS4 regularly on your TV or monitor? Leave your opinion in the comments!
