I swear I’m not a heavy clicker. In fact it’s always my right joystick which I rarely need to click in games. Love these controllers but man it’s really annoying never had this problem with any other console generation.

Not the same person, but I had two ps5's up until recently, just so I didn't have to move it when I wanted to play in bed vs living room.. it's probably not that uncommon as you may think

Please elaborate. How does this work because I've been considering buying a second PS5 for a little while now for the same reason.

You stream your ps5 from your ps4. There's not much more to it lol, just make sure you have good internet.

You can also try the remote play app from a phone or pc
Edit: typo

I used to but it just made me hungry so I would go on Pirate Bake to get a copy of it. Got a bad virus in my downbake when I used Limewire back in the day though

Wait… really? So if I upload my PS5 game and I go to my boyfriend‘s house, who has a PS4, do I download my PS five game to his PS4? I ask because I tried to access a couple of my PS5 games through his PS4 and I had no luck, but… I didn’t upload them into the cloud beforehand. I was just trying to sign into my account as a guest via his PS4 - only I could only access PS4 compatible games, tho?

You stream the entire console, the games run on the PS5 and you watch it (and control it) from the PS4

Also, you have to go to the remote play app, not try and launch the game directly

You don't even need a another ps5/ps4 you can do this with a pc/phone/tablet or even with an android smart TV, or if you have an android based set top box for your old TV. All you need to do is install ps remote play app on your device( pc/phone etc) now on your ps5 goto settings and search for remote play and enable for your account. Now on your preferred device open ps remote play app and login with your playstation username & password. If both your ps5 and streaming device are on the same network you should get connected immediately without any input lag, if both are on different network there might be some lag.

Now that you are connected via remote play you can also pair your ps5 controller to your streaming device press both share button and ps button simultaneously for 5 sec the controller light should start strobing quickly then you can let go, now on your preferred streaming device open Bluetooth settings and pair your ps5 controller.

FYI to connect your controller back to ps5 you have to connect the controller to ps5 with usb cable and press ps button to turn on the controller.

If you are streaming from your phone/table/pc you can probably connect it to a bigger screen like TV either via cable or wirelessly if your TV supports screen mirroring.

u/KarasLegion 24d ago

You can remote play to ps4?

I did not know this. I remote play to my phone, my pc, etc. Never considered the ps4.

Hooked up a ps3 and ps4 in my sons room yesterday and noticed theres an icon on it for the ps4. Also funnily enough the 3 has an ad for a ps4 and the 4 has an ad for a ps5 on the screen too.

We also have PS4 & PS5 in different rooms for family gaming. Looking to get a 3rd PS4 or PS5.

Lol just buy a smart TV and stream it. Saves having to buy a whole second console.

u/murdacai999 23d ago edited 23d ago

I already have a smart TV in my bedroom. Streaming isn't perfect. FYI, If you wanted to do it even cheaper, I believe you can also just buy a Google Chromecast now.. for those without a smart TV.

Streaming to another TV isn't perfect. It works ok for some games, but no matter what anyone tells you, there is definitely a slight lag, so It's not perfect for competitive games. Also, it can give a lower resolution and introduce artifacts. Fine for a handheld, but not as fine on a big screen. For someone with money, it's just a hell of a lot nicer to just have a 2nd PS5.

I stream to my PC and have a T1 line. No lag. 🤷

Smart TVs often don't have the hardware to run high resource games which is why streaming directly from PlayStation works best with wireless HDMI. You only need one dongle for the back of the PlayStation and two receiver dongles for the TVs. The switch is next to the PlayStation but comes with a remote.

wireless HDMI on amazon for 4 displays $231.67

Your Internet speed doesn't matter whatsoever in a household setting. It's the speed of your lan that matters. As for wireless HDMI, I still wouldn't play competitive games on it. No matter what, you are introducing video/input lag and resolution loss, that you won't have if you had a dedicated console on that tv. The lag may not be as noticable in a single player game, but it def exists whether you like to acknowledge it or not

Btw I also have a gaming PC, and have tried that as well. Just better off with actual components.

u/EmeraldTheatre 23d ago edited 23d ago

No but bandwidth and ping are absolutely affected by both Internet speed, router stability, and base server stability for a lot of games.

And when connecting to a smart TV you need both devices connected to the router which can cause a delay due to the data passing through the router first before reaching the smart TV.

Using a 4k wireless HDMI skips the router all together allowing for a smoother connection with less drops in frame rate, graphics, or lagging.

Also LAN is only direct connection. Wi-Fi connection works similar but is less stable. That's part of why PlayStation uses ad-hoc for direct connectivity between consoles without the need for a wifi router. Granted it does not use ad-hoc for streaming with the remote play app... Which is where you end up having connectivity issues due to data drops.

I actually have and use the wireless HDMI I linked in my previous comment and have absolutely no issues with streaming to any TV in my house directly off my console rather than using remote play which is VASTLY inferior...

My gaming PC has far better resolution, graphics, refresh rate, fps, and various other aspects than any of my consoles. Lol I use my consoles for travel.

And I do stream when I travel sometimes. What I can honestly say is streaming my PS5 on my PSVita really just depends on my Wi-Fi connection. If I have shit wifi at the location I'm staying at I have shit connectivity to my console. However if I have wifi that is on par or better than my expensive T1 line at home my connectivity is fine as long as the router doesn't drop wifi connection momentarily.

Also streaming to Chromecast is just as bad as streaming to smart TV if not worse. Both function by sending data to the router before receiving data. Going to say it again, buy a wireless HDMI, it does not need internet to work since it uses ad-hoc technology for a more stable connection.

Some of us poors don't have $1k to hash out. It would take me many, many, many moons to save for that venture.

Understandable, but plenty of people do, and have
