PXPlay
Ottenschlag, Austria
What it is
PXPlay streams a supported PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console to another device for remote play, and can also act as a virtual controller. The maker lists customizable on-screen gamepad layouts, button mapping, multiple console profiles, and gamepad-only mode. Client platforms include Android, iOS, Apple TV, Windows, Linux, and macOS. The maker describes upscaling features for PC and Android, and lists a maximum resolution of 4k.
Remote connections can use an experimental automatic mode or manual router port forwarding. Automatic access requires a console PSN connection, current firmware, and login registration; registration must occur on the same network as the console. The manual recommends 5 GHz Wi-Fi for the client, a wired console connection, and at least 15 Mbps upload and download speeds. Automatic access may fail on some networks, including those with console NAT type 3. The PC license costs €12.99 once for one user and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac; a demo is available. Separate keys are required for each platform, except Windows and Linux can share a key.
