Remote Play From Anywhere



Jan 19, 2021 First up is Remote Play, using the Xbox (beta) app. This guide shows you how to prepare your Series X (or whatever) console so it’s ready for streaming, and then how to connect your controller to your Android mobile. With those steps done, you can get stuck into your games over WIFi or even the internet if you’re away from home. At home, at school, on the way to work, or just sitting in a coffee shop. Play your own computer anywhere you want to. Game on Your phone. You can remote play from a different WiFi network anywhere in the world, it works the same as Shareplay or PSNow. Don't expect a great experience though unless both networks are absolutely rock solid, and even then you won't be playing twitch shooters or anything. Its good for some titles though. If you want to open your game up to the public, using a streaming service like Twitch or YouTube is your best bet. These services allow you to broadcast your screen and easily share a link with remote players to watch, join, and play along. We stream our games every Thursday at 3:30CT. You can watch an example of how this works here.

A PS5 console or PS4 console is required for Remote Play.
