Remote Play arrives for Xperia

Sony Mobile and Sony Computer Entertainment have launched PS4 Remote Play which lets users play PS4 games on Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact devices.

Owners of any Xperia Z3 series smartphone or tablet can download the PS4 Remote Play application to start playing PlayStation 4 games anywhere at home on their smartphone or tablet with the Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller via home Wi-Fi. This latest addition to the PS4 Remote Play family gives gamers more options to play their PS4 games away from the TV for those times when the TV isn’t available.

Sony Mobile and SCE will also be bringing this feature to the Xperia Z2 series in the coming weeks. Both Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet will soon be able to connect to PS4 and offer PS4 Remote Play so current Xperia Z2 series owners can also get in on the action and connect remotely to their PS4 games. Full details on the release of PS4 Remote Play for the Xperia Z2 series will be announced in the coming weeks.

PS4 Remote Play is also available for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV from 14th November 2014. However Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series will be the only smartphones and tablets to offer this unique gaming experience.

To make PS4 Remote Play even easier, there’s a range of different accessories and ways to get connected and started on the game – whether it’s using the GCM10 Game Control Mount accessory with your Xperia Z3 and Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller or setting up your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact as a screen on the BSC10 Bluetooth Speaker Dock
