PS4 REMOTE PLAY: HOW TO USE A CONTROLLER ON S8+ AND OLDER PHONES AT HOME

ZarkingFrued

For anyone using an older phone for the recent remote play expansion around the house. To use your PS4 controller: set up a second ps4 account, and set up remote play on this second account. Once you are connected via remote play to this secondary you can now use your primary accounts controller to hit the home button back to your actual primary account, and you can play while the ps4 controller is connected to the ps4, as the ps4 only disconnects the controller of the actual remote play account. (You may need to restart the game for online games if it was already running in the background.) Essentially makes your phone a little monitor if someone else is using the TV, or if you want to play while you visit the john. Works on my s8+, but obviously doesn't work outside of the house. This is only relevant because any phones that are s8, and below will not receive Android 10 update, and coincidentally won't receive any Ps4 Remote Play controller support.
