Regardless of the issues you're experiencing, when Remote Play isn't available, first check your internet connection, system software, and app. For details, see "What to check first when Remote Play isn't available".
Depending on the situation, you also want to check the following:

When using Remote Play with mobile data

Before trying to connect remotely from outside your home, check that your device connects properly while you're near the PS5 console or PS4 console that you're trying to control.
Depending on the game or how it's used, Remote Play may not be supported. For details, see "Restrictions".

What to check first when Remote Play isn't available

Check to make sure that your PS5 console or PS4 console can connect to the internet, and that you're able to sign in to PlayStation Network.
Check to make sure that the system software on your PS5 console or PS4 console is updated to the latest version.
Check to make sure that [PS Remote Play] is updated to the latest version on your Windows PC, Mac, or mobile device.
If it's not updated to the latest version, launch [PS Remote Play], and then follow the instructions on your screen to update the app.

When your client device can't find the PS5 console or PS4 console you're trying to control

You can manually link a device (the client) to remotely control a second device (the host). After connecting both devices to the same network, follow the instructions on your screen.
Remote Play uses UDP Port 8572 to connect to your PS5 console, PS4 console, or mobile device. Check to make sure that your router, internet service provider, and mobile carrier aren't blocking this port. If your router is blocking this port, you can set up port forwarding and allow access from the internet to your PS5 console or PS4 console. By doing so, you may be able to use Remote Play. If the port isn't blocked, or you still can't use Remote Play after setting up port forwarding, contact your internet service provider.

If you're using mobile data, contact your mobile carrier.

"Port forwarding", also called "port mapping" or "address conversion", redirects a signal from one specific port (the entrance) to another designated port (the exit).
If you're unable to obtain a NAT Type, your network environment won't support Remote Play. You can check your NAT Type by launching [PS Remote Play] and taking the following actions.
- On your Windows PC, go to [Settings] and then select [Information].
- On your Mac, select [Preferences].
- On your mobile device, go to [Settings] and then select [NAT Type].
If your network environment uses NAT Type 3, you may not be able to connect to other devices, and you may not be able to use Remote Play.

When the connection is unstable

We recommend using a wired connection to connect your PS5 console, PS4 console, Windows PC, or Mac to the internet.
We recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 5 Mbps. Check the estimated connection speed for your PS5 console or PS4 console using in the following ways.

If your network environment doesn't support a sufficient connection speed, contact your internet service provider or mobile carrier for more information.
During Remote Play, streaming video and other media on the client device may cause the video to flicker and not play smoothly. This may also happen if other devices on your network are using a large amount of bandwidth. Wait until they're idle before using Remote Play.
If you're using Remote Play to control your PS4 console from your Windows PC, Mac, or mobile device, go to [Settings] or [Preferences], and then select [Video Quality for Remote Play] to set a lower resolution video quality. This may help the connection become stable, allowing for a smoother Remote Play experience. If you're using Remote Play to control your PS5 console or PS4 console (CUH-7000 series / CUH-7100 series / CUH-7200 series), the video quality is adjusted automatically, depending on your network status.

When using Remote Play with mobile data

Use Remote Play in a location with a stable and sufficiently fast connection.
Moving your client device around causes the connection to become unstable, which may lead to Remote Play being interrupted or disconnected.
Remote Play will disconnect when you switch between mobile data and Wi-fi® during use.
Depending on the network structure of your mobile carrier, Remote Play may not be available, or it may be interrupted due to an unstable connection. Additionally, you may have poor video quality that doesn't improve.
Depending on your mobile carrier plan, your connection speed and data usage may be limited. In this case, Remote Play may not be available. For details, review your mobile carrier contract and plan, or contact your mobile carrier.
