Hardcore Droid: As a gamer, there’s no better gift I enjoy receiving than games, whether digital or analog. This year, the coolest gadgets I saw at PAX, E3, and all the other tech conferences were open-sourced portable gaming solutions based on the Android OS.
PS Remote Play on Android TV OS devices offers you more ways to play your favorite PS5® and PS4™ games.
i have a 4K chrome cast from some years ago, not this white one.
does it support remote play as well?
next question: does PS5 and the chromecast have to be connected to same network?
i will try later and update here if no one has an answer, so people benefit.
With a new update, Chromecast with Google TV is now able to stream PS5 games over a local network, a great feature.
Seems to need a specific chromecast though... the 4k model. The one that came with my stadia controller is not adequate.
I'm curious to hear from anyone here that gives this a try. What's the lag feel like and are all the DualSense features supported?
It mirrors your PS5 on your local network just like remote desktop on PC...virtually lag free.
I'm confused to why Sony allowed this... if they're wanting to push Playstation portal, then surely selling the ability to do this doesn't make any sense? Only Google benefits from this....?
They've had remote play across multiple OSs for ages. Only benefit Sony gets from this is happier customers that hopefully stick with PS. This isn't a direct money steam
Starting in mid-February, a planned update to the NVIDIA Games app will begin rolling out to SHIELD owners. With this update, the GameStream feature will no longer be available. SHIELD users can continue to use GameStream until that time.
For sometime, I'd been contemplating getting a Shield to replce my Steam Link hw as the Shield is a more capable 4K/60 device for streaming. Happy they notified us before I finally decided to pull the trigger on getting one.
You can still stream using the shield just not natively, you'll have download and use the stream link app on the shield.
They likely are not supporting it natively to save money on developing and maintaining the feature and letting valves app do it instead.
