How To Use The PlayStation App To Control Your PS5 – SlashGear

After you’ve installed the Remote Play app to your smartphone and logged in with your PSN account, you’ll also have to get the two devices to recognize each other.

1. Turn on your PS5 and open Settings from the home screen.
2. In the Settings menu, select System, followed by Remote Play.
3. Select “Enable Remote Play” to turn the option on.
4. With your PS5 either turned on or in Rest Mode, start up the Remote Play app, and sign in with your PSN account.
5. The app should automatically look for and detect your PlayStation console based on the shared PSN account.
6. Once detected, your PS5’s home screen should appear on your phone through the Remote Play app.

Now that you’re connected, you can use your PS5 as you normally would — only now you’re seeing and controlling everything from your smartphone. You can interact with the system and various games using the on-screen button overlay, or use a physical controller if you have one connected to your phone. When you’re finished using Remote Play:

1. Tap your phone’s screen to pull up the button overlay and select the “…” options icon.
2. Select Settings (the gear icon), followed by Disconnect.
3. When prompted, confirm your choice to disconnect.
