On your Mac, you can pair via Bluetooth, but you’ll need to be running the latest version of macOS Catalina, released earlier this week (though you might want to hold off on updating until all your apps are compatible). On your PC, select the plus to add a new Bluetooth device. Hold both the Share and PS button for four seconds until the controller’s light bar starts to flash. First, find your PC’s Bluetooth settings by heading to Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices. You can pair the controller to your PC either with a Micro-USB cable or via Bluetooth. Now it’s time to pair your DualShock 4 controller, either with a Micro-USB cable on a PC or Mac, or via Bluetooth on any Remote Play compatible device with Bluetooth support (or a Bluetooth adapter). So you’ve got your PS4 ready to go, and the PS4 Remote Play app installed on your remote device. If you don’t want to walk over to your console to turn it on every time you want to get away from it, you can visit Settings > Power Save Settings > Set Features Available in Rest Mode, then select “Stay Connected to the Internet” and “Enable Turning On PS4 From Network.” Next Up, Pairing Your Controller Visit Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Enable Remote Play. Next, enable Remote Play on the console itself. Visit Settings > Account Management > Activate as Your Primary PS4. Then you’ll need to identify your console as the “primary” console.

To do so, visit Settings > System Software Update, and let your console get to work.

First, update your PS4’s software to the most current version, 7.00. Once you’ve installed the requisite PS4 Remote Play app from whatever app store you’re using, you’ll need to configure your PS4. To minimize latency, you should use an Ethernet cable to connect your console to your wireless router or modem (you should do the same on the device you’re streaming to, if possible). You’ll also need a broadband internet connection, a DualShock 4 controller, and a PS4 game that doesn’t require a VR headset or a specialized controller.

If you’re on an Android or iOS device, you’ll need to grab the Remote Play app from Google Play or the App Store. You’ll need a PC or Mac running the free PS4 Remote Play app (you can download it here). What You Need For PlayStation 4 Remote Play To use the PS4 Remote Play feature, you’ll need to configure a couple of things - besides your PS4, obviously. This is the second time Sony has shown that limitation is totally arbitrary: first when it allowed us to control PS5 games with the PS4 controller over Remote Play to start, and now again with this signal that the DualSense’s sensing abilities are optional when streaming games over a network.Still, there are a few footnotes to consider before you start gaming on a screen other than your TV. It’s also more ammunition for the argument that we should be able to play PS5 games on our PS5 with a PS4 pad. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll keep my DualSense hooked up to the PS5 where it can actually help me sense things, and use a DualShock 4 (or third-party pad) when I want to stream. You’ll have to decide whether these things defeat the purpose of pairing a DualSense with an Apple device. The streaming quality, as always, will depend heavily on your home wireless network.The speaker is a serious loss - games like Returnal use it in combination with haptic feedback to add some serious immersion. The built-in microphone, headphone jack, and speaker don’t work.That was true of previous pads as well, but I was hoping they’d fix it. Each time you want to switch devices (to your iPhone or back to your PS5), you’ll have to manually pair your DualSense again.The good news: if the only controller you own is a DualSense controller, it totally works - and your awesome adaptive triggers come along for the ride. I just gave it a quick try myself with an iPhone 12 mini and a recent iPad Pro, and I have some thoughts!
