- Since the launch of the PS5 I have been unable to use the remote play functionality. At first I thought it might be an iOS issue, a remote plate issue, a system software version issue etc. Little did I know, the real issue was a simple setting on my home router.
- Introduction PSPlay offers you the possibility to remote control your PS5/ PS4 without limitations. You can play your favorite games remotely while you are away (your router at home must be configured accordingly in order to connect over mobile data from away, more information below.).

To start Remote Play while your PS5 console is in rest mode, select Settings System Power Saving Features Available in Rest Mode. Then select the checkboxes for Stay Connected to the Internet and Enable Turning on PS5.

- You can also use a DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller. Connect the controller to your Mac using Bluetooth® or a USB cable. For details on Bluetooth® pairing, see “Using the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller on another device”.
- To use voice chat, you’ll need a microphone, such as the built-in microphone on your Mac.
