Sony Releases Remote Play App to Control Your PS4 With iPhone or iPad

can I ask a stupid question, im confused reading this.

is this an app so you can use your phone as another controller whilst sitting in front of the ps4, or is this an app so you can play ps4 games when not in front of your console?

An app so you can play PS4 games when not in front of your console/tv
 
Sony has officially shoot their own foot.
That was the one biggest selling feature of their phones.
I still occasionally use remote play with DualShock 4 on the Sony phone.

Why can I not find it if I search PS4 remote play in the app store?

Link works though.

Didn't Apple say f-off to Valve for trying to release the same for computers via Steam Link? Why the double standard between streaming - but from a console - and streaming from a computer?

Steam wanted their shop in it as well without paying the Apple tax for microtransactions.

Best guess: The search index isn't updated yet.
 
Wow, I cannot think of a worse way to play a PS4.

EDIT: Let me clarify; I am not saying remotely accessing your PS4 on your phone is terrible, that's actually pretty effing awesome. Comparing a touchscreen device to the multi-buttoned, muscle memory ingrained comfort of a Dual Shock?

DOUBLE EDIT:

Now this becomes a pretty amazing thing and something I am happy to eat crow over!

Would be great if Microsoft would release something like this so I can better manage my Xbox One X remotely. Being able to see the display is great.

I tried with Winston for fun and had to leave the match because it was essentially a 5v6 :confused: Definitely not a way to play OW, but fascinating that it works at all!

This is standard with Apple -- when apps first drop they are rarely searchable immediately only accessible via direct link. I think they take a while to index their searches when completely new apps drop

100% agree. I tried the early FPS and racing games that were coming to iOS and it solidified my hate for virtual buttons and 'tilt to steer' setups. HOWEVER, this may be just fine for slower SP and turn based games where button mashing is not needed. I'll pick up the app just to see if I can play Everybody's Golf. Games like that on an iPad could be a nice way to waste some afternoon time on the back deck as opposed to down in the cave.
 
Will this work on appletv? Like when I visit my parents place? I could set it up before I send them the appletv
