PlayStation has made it convenient for people with no proper set-up and with no high-end resolution TVs to play games with the help of a unique feature called “Remote Play”. It is an application that a gamer can download on any of his devices and shift to that particular device for playing games. However, before doing so the gamer must keep the following requirements in mind, which are necessary for him to enjoy this feature:
- The internet network cable preferably should be LAN.
- Internet network used in the system (console) and used in the device must be the same.
- The internet network must be broadband, as mobile data does not work with PlayStation games.
- The gamer must have a PlayStation Network account (PSN).
- After determining the above requirements, the gamer can move on to setting up the device for playing PlayStation games.
