PlayStation Takes a Leap into the Future with PS Remote Play

Sony and its eternal attempts to guarantee that you will never, ever, stay away from your beloved PlayStation. This time, they're expanding the horizons of PS Remote Play, allowing you to play your favorite PS5 and PS4 titles on any Android TV and Chromecast with Google TV. Yes, because who needs a reason to get off the couch when you can just take your game to another room, right?

PlayStation Now Anywhere (Indoors)

So here's the news: PS Remote Play now lets you stream your games directly from your console to a compatible TV in, say, the next room. Perfect for when you're escaping the family in the living room or just don't want to share the big screen with the rest of domestic humanity. After all, why socialize when you can maximize your screen time, right?

How Does This Technological Marvel Work?

To start this inter-room adventure, just download the PS Remote Play app from a BRAVIA XR A95L TV or on a fancy Chromecast. Grab your DualSense or DUALSHOCK4 controller, which you obviously left casually on the coffee table, and go! It's all set up for you to play while ignoring any other form of human interaction.

Internet Speed: The Real Final Boss

Now, before you venture out on this revolutionary journey of playing games in the kitchen while having a snack, remember: Sony recommends a broadband connection with at least 15 Mbps. Because nothing says “modern fun” like being disconnected in the middle of a game because of your stone-age internet. And of course, the further away you are from your console, the more you'll experience that delicious latency which only adds more excitement to the game, as if you were in a digital obstacle race.

In short, the PS Remote Play on Android TV and Chromecast devices is Sony's new attempt to convince us that we need more PlayStation in our lives, in every corner of the house. It's an interesting expansion, but one that perhaps makes us wonder: are we just finding new ways to never switch off?

Either way, don your homemade combat gear, because PlayStation can now invade every corner of your home fortress.
