PS5 Remote Play App Is Now Available on PS4

Ooo I’m considering putting my PS4 Pro in my bedroom when my PS5 takes over the front room. So does this mean I can play my PS5 in bed whenever I fancy through remote play? That would be amazing if so! So excited now either way. It’s nearly here!

So you can use you DualShock controller for PS5 games after all! Lol.
Seriously though, I understand and appreciate their need to reassure devs all ps5 players will have access to dualsense features to ensure as much uptake as possible, but I see some flack incoming for this from the fanboy communities.
I wonder if it’s possible to get dualsense features when playing via PS4 but with a dualsense controller.
Also hoping for VITA and phone remote play.

Edit: “ The DualSense wireless controller is not compatible with the PS4 console.”

@thefourfoldroot I doubt it since the dual sense doesn’t work with ps4

That's neat!
Was going to move my PS4 out of my home cinema, with my PS5 replacing, and put in the living room.
So if I am super lazy, can remote play xD

@Optimusprime706
Really? Are we sure? I thought I saw someone pair it to the PS4. It didn’t work to control much but it was recognised, so I just figured a software update was incoming.

Interesting, but my jet engine might be headed for the bin after I get my hands on the PS5.

I've got to be honest and say I don't get the point in this at all. Why would I want to play my PS5 in much lower quality or indeed stream my PS4 games to PS5 and lose all the image quality, framerate and loading advantages that it offers?

@Alpine021 yES IT DOES!

wOW! That came out of nowhere! what other surprises has sony got

but but using a DS4 with the PS5 is impossible

I’ve never been startled by the sudden appearance of an app on the home screen before,
Truly a next gen experience.

@carlos82 So you can experience that Xbox Series S vibe! XD

Wow, this is great!

@carlos82 I get what you are saying and 90-95% of the time I’ll be playing on my PS5 and 4K TV in the front room but if I’m bored in bed and/or other people are sleeping then I can just play a bit in bed either late at night or early in the morning through my PS4. The games won’t look bad by any stretch just not in their full glory obviously. I just think it’s a neat and handy addition to have.

"Available now" as in the PS mobile app I got a week after everyone else ? Alright then.

@thefourfoldroot I tried to pair my dualsense to my pro all it did was charge it

@Optimusprime706
Yes, I saw a video of that. But it does recognise it, don’t see why they wouldn’t release a firmware update so people can play with (and wear out faster) their expensive dualsense. Imagine it’s far from a priority at the moment though.

Edit: “ The DualSense wireless controller is not compatible with the PS4 console.”

Wait can someone confirm for me that wrote this article, that you can play PS5 games via the PS4 remote play with a DualShock 4?

Does this mean I can sign in to my PS5 while at my friend's house and then play my games from his? no downloading times too. Also reading the blog it says that you can connect up to 3 other controllers.

@KPraj probably the same network is needed like remote play was on ps3 then psvita / ps4

Now, here's the question. Can I use this to play local-multiplayer games with the DS4s?

Off topic I know but anyone else get a Cyberpunk delay notification the same time this app showed up? Thing of it is, I haven't preordered digitally but the message makes it sound like I did.
