Sony Launches New PS Remote Play App for Android TVs, Enabling PS5/PS4 Game Streaming

Sony has released a new PS Remote Play app specifically for Android TV/Google TV devices to allow PS5 game streaming.
The new PS Remote Play app is needed, as the existing mobile app doesn't work for game streaming on Android TV devices.
Users need a DualSense or DualShock 4 controller, a PS5/PS4, 5GHz WiFi or Ethernet, and a PSN account to use the new streaming feature.
Remote Play streaming is currently only officially supported on Chromecast with Google TV and Sony Bravia XR TVs with Android TV 12 or higher.
The new PS Remote Play app allows users to turn on their PS5/PS4 remotely and stream games directly to their Google TV device.
