Remote Play is a feature exclusive to PlayStation owners (PS3/PS4/PS5). It allows them to enjoy PS games on mobile devices.

If players own one of these consoles, they can connect it to their smartphone and stream a game on it. What happens is that the game still runs on their console, but its audio and video get mirrored on the mobile. However, it is important to have a decent internet connection and a high-end smartphone.

To play GTA 5 on Android using PS Remote Play, players must follow these steps:

  • Download the PS Remote Play app from the Play Store. Players can click here to do so.
  • Check the Account Management settings to ensure that the PS3/PS4 is set as the primary PlayStation.
  • On the PlayStation console, turn on the Enable Remote Play option. This can be found at Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Enable Remote Play.
  • Log in to your PlayStation account and select the Start button. As it connects to the console, the screen will be mirrored on the mobile device.

Note: If the Android smartphone does not connect automatically, players need to go to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings and add the device manually.
