Ps4 Remote Play Same Network
If you use PSPlay for the first time you have to register your PS5/ PS4 with PSPlay. The following sections will enlight you about the most important information
A PS5 console or PS4 console is required for Remote Play. With Remote Play, you can control your PlayStation® console remotely wherever you have a high-speed internet connection. Using the PS Remote Play app, you can control your PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console from a device in a different location. When logging in to the PS4™ system, select the user that is linked to the same Sony Entertainment Network account as your system. On your system, select (PS4 Link) Start Remote Play. When registration is complete, the PS4™ system's screen is displayed on your system.
Step 1 - Be sure your smartphone and your PlayStation are connected to the same network. Ideally your PS5/ PS4 is using a wired internet connection via a LAN cable to provide best streaming performance.
Step 2 - In order to activate Remote Play on your PS5/ PS4 you must be logged in with your PSN account on your PS5/ PS4.
On your PS5 navigate to Settings - System - Remote Play and activate 'Enable Remote Play'. Then go to Link Device where you should see the 8 digit registration number.
On your PS4 navigate to Settings - Remote Play Connection Settings and activate the 'Enable Remote Play' checkbox. Then go to Add device where you should see the 8 digit registration number.
How To Remote Play Ps4 On Different Network
Step 3 - Open PSPlay and click the 'Register PS' button. On the next screen you can choose if you want to register a PS5 or a PS4. If you have made your descision you can enter the 8 digit registration number on the next screen. If you want to register a PS4 with an older firmware you can choose the firmware of your PS4 in the drop-down list. If you do not know what that means just leave the default values. PSPlay supports PS4 firmware from 5.05 - 8.03+. If you are ready Click the 'Register' button on the bottom of the screen.
Step 4 - You will now see the official Sony account website. At this point you must sign in to your PSN account which you want to use for Remote Play. If you do not want to sign in you can also activate the 'Register PS4 manually' checkbox in the previous screen. However since the PS4 firmware 7.0 Sony requires the Account-ID for the registration process which is unique number linked to your PSN-Account. If you do not know it by heart your only option is to continue with the sign in process. If you use an older firmware than 7.0 you can just use your well known Online-ID (Your PSN user name) during the manual registration process
Disclaimer from the developer: I know providing your account details seems to be shady and I wished there would be another method to get the Account-ID but unfortunately there is no other easy way. However, PSPlay just opens the official PSN Log-In website from Sony and there is no technical way that PSPlay could in any way intercept, monitor or modify the data you have entered there. PSPlay only receives some generic profile information as response from the official Sony server and only the Account-ID and the Online-ID will be stored locally on your device.
