So connecting your DualShock to the device and using it on the PS4 RemotePlay App only works if you have Android OS 10, which is currently only available on like 10 current flagship phones, or iOS 13.

So basically this currently only works if you're wealthy.

I think any iPhone after 6S has iOS 13 and that include my old iPhone SE.
The other side my Mi 9 didn't received Android 10 yet.

I think any iPhone since 6S has iOS 13.

Apologies, I didn't know that, I only have an Android and I'm cranky I can't use RemotePlay with a DualShock because my phone is 2 years old, lol.

Nah. The Note 10 costs a bomb and that'll probably get Android 10 last.

I tried it and got a more latency then ps now.

Does the PS4 controller work on the iPad?

 

[Grinchy]

I can't believe my $1000 phone can't use a controller with this shit yet.

Not really fair to blame Sony for Google's Android abandonware policy.

Great to see them improving this wonderful feature! One of my favorites along with share play. Been using it since the beginning of the generation on my sons Vita, and it was a game changer being able to continue playing on it when the wife wants to see the soap opera

Shareplay is pretty great also.

I can Bluetooth my phone to my DualShock just fine, but the updated OSs are needed to verify the device is a DualShock and not a generic gamepad.

Why can't Sony make the app compatible with a generic gamepad, some of which are actual DualShock 4s? Because of the same reason that Vita memory cards were $100 proprietary pieces of crap.

Probably something to do with authentication. Same reason the PS4 doesn't support legacy (PS3) controllers/steering wheels.

All iOS 13 devices.

You need Android 10.

 

[AgentP]

My 10e with Android 9 will not work with the DS4 via the OTG cable, what a laod of crap. How many people can use this feature, the top 0.1% of Android owners?

 

[TLZ]

All iOS 13 devices.

Bluetooth or cable?

I believe only Bluethooth.

Streaming to vita is still the best way to remote play because you can stream it directly from PS4. It runs perfectly as long as nothings downloading and you've set it up correctly. They need this feature on mobile.

Also Sony should bring out a dedicated streaming system, stream ps4/ps5 games directly from console and obviously ps now over net, be less of a risk than a vita 2, which I'd also love but sadly can't see happening.

Yeah perfect.. If you don't need to rely too much on the triggers, mapped to the back touchpad
