What PXPlay is

PXPlay streams a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console to another device for remote play and can also work as a virtual controller. Client platforms include Android, iOS, Apple TV, Windows, Linux, and macOS, with a listed maximum resolution of 4k. The maker lists customizable on-screen gamepad layouts, button mapping, multiple console profiles, gamepad-only mode, third-party gamepad support, multi-monitor support, and local co-op support. PC and Android store pages describe upscaling features. Remote connections can use an experimental automatic mode or manual router port forwarding. Automatic access requires a console PSN connection, current firmware, and login registration on the same network as the console. The manual recommends 5 GHz Wi-Fi for the client, a wired console connection, and at least 15 Mbps upload and download speeds. The PC license costs €12.99, paid once, with a demo available before purchase.
