The app provides low-latency virtual gamepad controls, customizable button mapping, multiple visual skins and light/dark themes, and streaming quality options up to 1080p at 60 FPS. It’s ideal for casual play, quick sessions, or when a physical controller isn’t available. Setup is simple: enable Remote Play on your console, pair the app with a PIN, and connect both devices on the same Wi‑Fi network (5GHz recommended). The extension focuses on easy registration and flexible customization while remaining a third‑party utility not affiliated with Sony. Privacy and settings import/export options make switching devices quick and convenient. ## Rankings - #30,679 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_CUSTOM_AUDIENCE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.HIGH_SAMPLING_RATE_SENSORS` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.huawei.appmarket.service.commondata.permission.GET_COMMON_DATA` - `com.playstation.remote.play.psremote.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.samsung.android.mapsagent.permission.READ_APP_INFO` ## Review summary Overall, PS Remote Play Controller is praised for ease of use and enabling remote PS gameplay, with positive vibes like awesome and great app. However, users frequently complain about intrusive ads, connectivity problems (not finding or connecting to a PS4/PS5), and lag, particularly on the free version. Missing hardware controls (thumbsticks) and reliability issues are also mentioned. When it works, it’s a useful remote play tool, but ad load and setup/connectivity frustrations significantly impact the user experience. ### Pros - Easy to use and enjoyable to use - Enables playing PS5/PS4 games remotely - Positive overall sentiment (awesome / great app) - Useful tool for PS Remote Play - Some users report smooth performance with little or no lag ### Cons - Too many ads - Connectivity/discovery issues (cannot find or connect to PS4/PS5) - Lag or latency, especially on the free version - Missing thumbsticks / lack of essential controls - Reliability issues where the app sometimes doesn’t work or fails to initialize ## Similar extensions and apps - [PS Remote Play & Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.whale.psremote.remoteplay.gamecontroller) — 10,752 users - [Remote Play Controller for PS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.vulcanlabs.psremote) — 10,969,841 users, 4.37 / 5 - [Ps Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remotePlay.PS) — 36,031 users, 3.73 / 5 - [Remote Games Controller for PS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.arazoonade.remote_games_controller_for_ps) — 78,471 users - [PS Remote Play Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.satoshi.gameps.remote.play) — 90,382 users, 4.43 / 5 - [PS Remote Play Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.grownapp.chiaki) — 24,099 users - [Remote Game Controller for PS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.screen.remote.control.stream) — 1,769,203 users - [Remote Play Controller for PS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.th.remote.controller) — 2,634,653 users, 4.30 / 5 - [PS Remote Play Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.game.remote.playstation.controller.ps) — 4,361,714 users - [PS Remote Play Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remote.remoteps.remotepsplay) — 589,700 users, 3.80 / 5 - [PS Remote Play Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.playstation.remote.play.controller.psremote) — 1,019 users - [Remote Play Controller for PS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vision.game.play.screen.remote.control.stream.remotegamecontrollerforps.playstation.ps) — 5,609 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.playstation.remote.play.psremote)
