Our only major criticism is that the client makes our laptop run hot, and it’s the only software we use that does so. It’s a really nice touch, and shows that Sony has invested effort into ensuring the experience is as good as it possibly can be. For example, when messaging friends, it’ll default to your computer keyboard for typing, meaning you don’t have to wrestle with PlayStation’s on-screen keyboard. There are even some really nice quality of life improvements you can take advantage of specifically while using Remote Play.

We’re using a DualShock 4 connected to our computer for controls, so it’s not the most portable of solutions, but you get the exact same inputs as a DualSense, so you’re not at a disadvantage like you were wrestling with the rear touchpad on the PS Vita. In fact, we tested out FIFA 21 and, while we wouldn’t play important Ultimate Team matches online over Remote Play, we found the game fully playable on our laptop. We’ve enjoyed similar results with slower-paced RPGs and strategy games as well – it all works really well. As there’s no reliance on quick controller response, we found that we were able to build and manage our theme park exactly as we wanted, despite being in a different part of the house to our PS5. We’ve also been playing Planet Coaster: Console Edition with Remote Play, and the experience is near-flawless. Those are the worst case scenarios, though. By the same margin, twitch shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are playable, but you’re never going to top the online multiplayer leaderboards as you’re instantly at a disadvantage There is a marginal input delay that makes some titles more difficult to play than others we tried NBA 2K21, for example, and found that we had to completely reconsider our shot timing in order to hit outside threes. So the all-important question is: how do the games feel? Pretty good.

Obviously, the higher resolution you select will tax your connection harder, but outside of a few stutters and occasional macroblocking, we’ve generally been able to Remote Play at 1080p without any obstacles. Sony has updated the Windows client, allowing streams to support HDR and scale up to 1080p. Still, we’re getting vastly superior results using Remote Play with our PS5 than we ever did on our PS4.
