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.
With HomiPlay
- Connect to your home network with HomiPlay
- Open the same PS Remote Play app
- 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
Setup Steps
1
Install HomiPlay on the Home Network
Install HomiPlay on a computer or server on the same local network as your PS5. Set this device up as your Home Center and ensure it remains powered on.
2
Enable Remote Play on PS5
On your PS5 console, go to "Settings" > "System" > "Remote Play" and turn on "Enable Remote Play".
3
Enable Protect by Home Center on Your Client Device
Install and log into HomiPlay on your remote phone, tablet, or laptop. Select your home device as the Home Center and enable the "Protect by Home Center" feature.
4
Connect and Play
Launch the PS Remote Play app. It will locate and connect to your PS5 just as securely and swiftly as if you were on your local network.
How the connection works
Home Center places the travel device back on the home network. HomiPlay prefers a direct P2P path and encrypts the connection end to end.
