I'm sad that we can't do PS5 Remote Play with the Vita - any hope for a fix or is this simply a fool's hope?

Samiya · Nov 20, 2020

I really enjoyed using my Vita on my PS4 for turnbased games and visual novels, it was seriously such a godsend. For example, it was incredible playing Persona 5 on it, and it made things much easier to just pick up and play. So now with the PS5, it was sad to see that it is currently (and probably always will be) impossible to use the PS5's Remote Play feature with the Vita.

I know that Sony has completely abandoned the Vita and that it's been over a year since the last firmware update. Yet it would still be incredible if the millions of Vita devices out there got one single Vita app that allowed them to use their device for PS5 Remote Play. Couldn't Sony implement such an app relatively cheap? Or is this merely a fool's hope?

At least, let us play PS4 games via Remote play.

It's time to let go my friend.

texhnolyze · Nov 20, 2020

It's dead, Jim.

Just remote play to your phone. Get one of these if you want that Vita feels.

rpm · Nov 20, 2020

Are we sure if Jim Ryan even knows what the Vita is

Mr Swine · Nov 20, 2020

Wait, have they stopped letting people remote play on their Vitas with PS5?

DGenerator · Nov 20, 2020

Dude, Sony announced discontinuing the Vita more than two years ago. The time to let go is long over.

Your options for PS5 remote play are: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, PS4, and PS5

There was never a Vita Remote Play option on the PS5

Oof, really sad for Vitas owners that they can't use that feature with PS5 😔

If you own a hackable Switch, keep an eye on Chiaki: https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/chiaki/issues/370

Actually, since Sony has dropped support, maybe there will be a Vita port in the future. The Vita homebrew community is active still.

Bucéfalo · Nov 20, 2020

Have any of you been able to use Remote Play in your Android phone with Dualsense? It seems that the app only allows you to use the DS4, and I don't have one...

PS: Xbox controller also would do it for me since I own one, but it isn't supported neither.

Samiya · Nov 20, 2020

Isn't there a homebrew app for Vita that allows you to the Vita acting like an Android and thereby using the new PS5 Remote Play?

Maybe you can use a vita to remote play a ps4 remote playing a ps5. 💁

Don't think so.

The homebrew community is insane though. I would wait and I am sure someone will do it.

Sadly no... I used a lot my PSVITA too for remote play... I have now got all I need to "comfty" play with my phone insted...

SinCityAssassin · Nov 20, 2020

PS5 to PS4 to PSVita sounds like nothing can go wrong.

Praedyth · Nov 20, 2020

They're saving it for Vita 2.

To be honest, the Vita is dead. I take the whole store thing that happened before as its official death.

Lemony1984 · Nov 20, 2020

Easy. You just remote play into a PS4 and use the PS5 remote play app.

Egida · Nov 20, 2020

The Inception-remote play is hilarious.
I would pay good money for a Switch remote play app, but we all know that's impossible.

ZeoVGM · Nov 20, 2020

It's a dead product that no one owns.

So probably not.

Sprat · Nov 20, 2020

This is the most disappointing thing regarding the ps5.

Truer words have not been spoken, but they still hurt.

Maybe someone from the homebrew community will be able to make an app that allows you to do PS5 RP, somehow.

Stefarno · Nov 20, 2020

It's how I played games like Persona 5 too and I'll miss it when I get a PS5.

To be honest I keep expecting them to announce that they are ending Remote Play for PS4 games.

Doesn't only the DS4 (maybe the Dualsense too) work with remote play on mobile?

Dualsense doesn't work and it is infuriating. I mean, why would you let me play my PS5 via remote play in Android but only let me use a DS4? I don't have one, and if I bought a PS5 common sense tells that I'll be using a Dualsense. I hope they patch this issue ASAP, like, I was able to play Xcloud with Dualsense but I can't on official PS app? Come on...

Theswweet · Nov 20, 2020

Uh folks, as funny as it might be to remote play your PS5 from your PS4 on Vita, it does not actually work. You can start the PS5 remote play app on PS4 while remote playing on a Vita, but it will stop you when you initiate a connection.

I tried.

It's my understanding that he filed a bug report after seeing one in Astrobot.

Skyfireblaze · Nov 20, 2020

Officially there's no hope I think but the CFW community might be able to whip something up, either by hacking the existing PS4 app or maybe someone ports Chiaki to it if that gets PS5 support, who knows.

I read on reddit that it wouldn't be possible since incompatibility was due to hardware issues and the protocols that both consoles use, but this was months ago, so maybe things have changed since.

Weebos · Nov 20, 2020

Baron Von Beans · Nov 20, 2020

For me, remote play worked best on my vita. From what little I've tried with my phone so far, the app is still a shoddy solution :\

Ah okay that would be a bummer. I guess I have to root the old Xioami Mi 4c I have to allow the official Android App to allow any controller and make myself a makeshift Vita.

Adamska · Nov 20, 2020

I use my Vita a lot, but I won't be missing remote play much. To be honest, I only ever use the feature if I want to shuffle through menus without turning the TV on. It's not a bad feature, and I think it's a shame it's not being supported on the Vita, but it wouldn't get much use from me.

Angst · Nov 20, 2020

The vitas wireless card sucks so bad which is the only reason I hate using it for remote play.

Japanmanx3 · Nov 20, 2020

Let it go like Lily Bergamo

Burying? Sony burned money supporting a platform that sold 1/5 what PSP did for nine years. As a Vita owner, I'm actually grateful.

I suppose there MIGHT be a way to get Android running on it.

Sony has abandoned the Vita for quite some time. I would not expect them to do anything.

Deleted member 60135 · Nov 20, 2020

I'm still not entirely sure what remote play is and I've had every console that's had it, can someone explain it
