Use your Android as a PlayStation gamepad
Turn your Android phone into a working DualShock or DualSense-style controller and stream PS4/PS5 games via PS Remote Play. This free app is handy when you need an additional controller or can’t find a physical pad — letting you play from anywhere in the house with a smooth, responsive feel thanks to low-latency input.
Key advantages
- Native touchpad and virtual joystick controls let you swipe and tap to perform the same inputs as a physical controller.
- Built-in modes for different setups, including a TV-oriented gamepad layout and a direct-on-screen mode for handheld gaming.
- Fast response times for minimal input lag, so gameplay feels immediate and accurate.
- Simple, cable-free setup; connect and play without complicated configuration steps.
- Planned options for custom themes and layout tweaks to personalize the on-screen controller appearance and button placement.
- Ideal as a spare controller replacement if your main pad is missing or you want to play from another room.
How to get started
- Install the app from the store.
- Launch the app and follow the onscreen prompts to connect to your PlayStation via Remote Play.
- Choose the layout that matches how you’re playing (TV or handheld) and adjust sensitivity if needed.
- Begin streaming and use the on-screen controls as your controller.
Personalization and future improvements
Expect future releases to include more skin choices, layout editing, and additional customization tools so you can fine-tune button placement, colors, and visual styles for a more tailored experience.
