At a hotel tonight and want to keep playing on your PS5 at home?

Leave the console at home and reconnect with less waiting and interruption.

HomiPlay brings your portable device back onto your home network before you open PS Remote Play.

The old way

  1. 1Open Remote Play away from home
  2. 2Wait for the console search and connection
  3. 3Risk blur, lag, or disconnects

With HomiPlay

  1. Connect to your home network with HomiPlay
  2. Open the same PS Remote Play app
  3. Continue the game on your console at home

The game can continue after the work trip ends for the day

Back at the hotel, a player has only a tablet and controller. After connecting through the Home Center, they open PS Remote Play and continue the unfinished level on their PS5 at home.

What HomiPlay takes off your plate

  • No router port-forwarding research
  • No change to your Remote Play routine
  • Less reconnecting when the route is unreliable

More ways to use it

  • Play from a handheld while visiting family
  • Continue on a tablet during a long stay
  • Keep the console on one stable home network
