When was the last time you used Remote Play on any PlayStation? Here at Push Square Towers, it's something we're glad exists, but we rarely if ever take advantage of the tech. Still, lots of people do, especially with all those smartphones out there. Following the launch of Android 12, Sony has released a fresh update for the Remote Play app on those devices.
Once you've installed the latest update to the Android app, you'll be able to use your PS5 DualSense controller with Remote Play:
While it's great you'll now be able to use the latest PlayStation pad on the app, it's not the only change. As outlined in the above tweet, the update also enables some of the DualShock 4's features, such as the touch pad, motion sensor, and rumble.
The update is available now, so if you're using a device with Android 12, get Remote Play up to date. Do you use the app to play PS5 and PS4 games on the move? Tell us in the comments section below.

i have a s20 ultra and the only option i have is android 11, only the most recent Samsung phones will support android 12, maybe google pixel 6 too? i don't care so much about ps5 as i don't have one anyways but this must be frustrating for other ps5 users and they don't have the update for android 12
Thought android 12 was still in beta will probably be quite a while till my phone gets the update
@Would_you_kindly nah I think it was released October 2021. My Pixel XL 2 will never get it sadly (unless I go CFW, perhaps)
Something that’s been available via 3rd party PSPlay app for ages 🙄 I haven’t gone remote play this gen; there’s still no tablet mount they’re all wimpy plastic phone clamps. Sony had a good sturdy one with a suction cup for DualShock, I got one from some eBayer in Japan years ago they even threw in a little origami figurine but it’s useless now. Had a good run though
@denpanosekai I've got an oppo find X2 lite I think I will get colour os 12 but will probably take ages oppo doesn't allow fastboot access either so there's no way to install custom firmware on it
So that's a tabletop option for Remote Play, at least... although still not much of a solution for what is designed and advertised as a purely handheld device otherwise. Remote Play was a viable option in the last two gens when Sony had what to put it on; smartphones were a poor alternative even then.
Haven't had the need to use this feature, but I will be going to my folks this year for xmas, so I will try it then.
I have the Pixel 6, so Android 12 is already there.
Will be interesting to see how it plays on MP games.
I'm still on Android 9 and I don't really wanna upgrade yet so I guess I ain't getting the feature
It would be nice if they added DualSense support for both the remote play and PS Now app on PC.
Annoying having to keep my PS4 controller which struggles with the cable popping out all the time with the port being in poor shape after all those years.
Now it's time for the PS Now app on PC to support the DualSense! In fact, it's time for OFFICIAL DualSense and DualShock 4 support on PC.
@huyi Google pixel 6 has the update currently but I am in the same boat with you with my note 20 ultra, we will have an update soon.
@hoffa007 I hope so, maybe next year we shall see it 👍👍😁
Xperia 5 II here, so hopefully I'll get this in the new year. Until then there's always PS Play!
@huyi 12 is coming for us S20 users next month supposedly
Still on Android 9 so this is a no-go and the Vita just lies in the corner with its Hori Grip, crying...
@huyi Pixel 3, 4 5's, and 6's all have Android 12 already
@TechaNinja nice! Thanks for the heads up!
