If you’re big into PlayStation, you likely relish the option to play on any display in your home via PS Remote Play. However, it hasn’t always been easy to do so, given the lack of integration between popular streaming devices and the Sony gaming console. Now, a new update will help you cast your games to other devices equipped with Google's operating system for TVs and media dongles.

Solo developer worn down by waves of complaints

Android emulators let us relive some of our best childhood gaming memories, even if the original developers may have given up on the title. It's also hardware-agnostic, meaning you could go back to play 2005's PlayStation classic "God of War" if you're using a flagship like the Samsung Galaxy S22. But fans of what's arguably one of the best emulators for Android, AetherSX2, have been dealt bad news as its developer has decided to suspend development indefinitely, citing a barrage of online impostors, complaints from users, and even death threats.

There's been a lot of noise surrounding YouTube TV's recent departure from Roku devices. Both companies have blamed each other, asking customers to plead for a return to business as usual. If you're a Roku user missing out on live TV, but you also have your hands on Sony's latest console, you're in luck. YouTube TV now supports streaming from the PS5.

Last year, Sony redesigned its PlayStation App in the light of the PS5 release and promised a slew of new features once the console was more widely available. Some of these are now starting to come to people as part of PlayStation App version 21.4. The release lets you manage your PS5 storage right from the app, allowing you to remove titles you no longer play without even fully turning on your console.

Sony may be more widely known for its PlayStation gaming consoles than its Android phones, but with this exclusive UK deal, you can own the best of both. From now through November 4th, readers in the United Kingdom can activate a Sony Xperia 5 on a 30GB EE network plan and receive their choice of a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation VR Starter Pack.

Sony's PlayStation Video for Android service is another option in a sea of content consumption choices. PS Video is great for those who live their lives in the PlayStation game consoles, with an Android companion app to keep things going while they're away from their PS4 (or PS3).
