Nyeste softwareopdatering (version 7.0) til PlayStation 4 åbner for, at Remote Play kan streame PS4-spil til en Android-enhed i hjemmet.

PS4 Remote Play til Android
PS4 Remote Play har i årevis været forbeholdt Sonys egne Android-baserede Xperia-enheder, men efter Sony lancerede PS4 Remote Play til iPhone og iPad tidligere på året, var det blot et spørgsmål om tid bred support ramte Android.

Efter opdatering til softwareversion 7.0 til PlayStation 4 vil Remote Play kunne bruges til at spille PS4-spil på alle smartphones og tablets med Android 5.0 eller højere. Sony gør i denne forbindelse PS4 Remote Play app'en bredt tilgængelig fra Googles app-butik.



PS4 Remote Play er et streamingsystem, som streamer spil fra PlayStation 4 konsollen til en anden enhed i hjemmet via WiFi. Spil afvikles på selve konsollen, så mobilenheden behøver ikke at være kraftfuld, idet den blot modtager et kontinuerligt videostream.

Sony har også en cloud-baseret spiltjeneste kaldet PlayStation Now, mens Microsoft og Google planlægger at lancere lignende tjenester i nærmeste fremtid.

Herudover har Sony finpudset PS4 Remote Play til iOS, så "man kan vise controlleren på skærmen hele tiden samt låse skærmorienteringen".

Spil kan styres vha. touchskærmen eller ved at forbinde en DualShock 4 controller trådløst via Bluetooth til Android, iPhone, iPad og Mac, oplyser selskabet. Det kræver Android 10, iOS 13, iPadOS 13 eller macOS Catalina.
