DOWNLOAD

Download the latest PS Remote Play for Windows (Click here for the official download page). Manually agree to the download policy by checking the box and the Download button will become available. The file is called RemotePlayInstaller.exe; open it to install.



SETUP PS REMOTE PLAY

Select your preferred language, then click OK. It will download the installer file in your chosen language and ask where you'd like to install (leave this as default), click the Next and Install buttons to begin the installation of PS REMOTE PLAY for Windows.



If this is your first time running the app, it will ask you to sign in to the same PSN account (1) as the PS5 you want to game on. Enter your account details (2), select the Confirm and Continue button and you'll come to a screen asking, "Which do you prefer to connect to"?

Select the cog icon on the left (3) and set the Video Quality for Remote Play to 360p, the Frame Rate to standard, and DO NOT check the HDR box if it gives you the option. Click OK to finish and that's all the setup steps you need to do for PS REMOTE PLAY!



Every time you load the PS REMOTE PLAY app in the future, it will immediately ask to connect to your PS5 and away you go!







🎮 DUALSENSE (USB)

Setup Hardware: Windows 11 PC w/ SONY PS REMOTE PLAY, DUALSENSE controller, Zen Studio  and Zen Firmware .

1. Connect the CRONUS ZEN to a WINDOWS PC from both PROG (mini-USB) and CONSOLE/PC (micro-USB).
2. Open ZEN STUDIO  > Device Panel > Select "Enable PS Remote Play"
3. Wait for the Zen to restart, then check PS Remote Play is enabled (unplug and reconnect all USB cables from the Zen if it doesn't detect in Zen Studio after the restart).
4. Connect a DUALSENSE controller to A1 and press the PS button to power it on.
5. Open the PS REMOTE PLAY app and select your PS5. (You can now move to your TV).
6. The DUALSENSE touchpad LED is WHITE when browsing the PS5 menu and changes to BLUE as soon as you open ASTRO's PLAYROOM or any other PS5 game.

AUDIO: The DUALSENSE does not support audio over Bluetooth. If you wish to use a headset, connect it directly to the PC's sound card, and the controller mic also gets re-routed directly to the headset mic. If you don't have a headset and wish to use voice chat, you can also use a laptop's built-in microphone.

STEAM USERS: If you have Steam installed and running on your PC, the Zen RGBs, the DUALSENSE touchpad will change color to CYAN. We recommend that you close Steam while using PS REMOTE PLAY. Once you've done that, press Zen's reset button, and the Touchpad and Zen RGBs will change to BLUE once you're in a game.

🎮 DUALSENSE (BLUETOOTH)

Before you pair any controller to the Zen using Bluetooth, we recommend that you clear the Bluetooth pairing cache first. Open Zen Studio and go to Device Panel > click the Clear BT Devices button. You'll then get a confirmation pop-up; click Yes.

If you don't have a headset and wish to use voice chat, you can also use a laptop's built-in microphone.

🎮 CROSSOVER CONTROLLERS

If you wish to use any other controller with PS REMOTE PLAY, simply follow the instructions above, the only difference being a DUALSENSE controller connects to A1 as a license donor, and your preferred PLAYSTATION, XBOX, or NINTENDO controller connects to A3, or pairs to the Zen using a Wireless adapter or Bluetooth (if supported). It will emulate as an original DUALSHOCK 4 controller👍
