Sony highlights its utility for households sharing a TV or for playing PS5 games in different rooms. The device connects to your PS5 via Wi-Fi.
Addressing earlier criticisms regarding Wi-Fi connectivity, Sony's recent update (3.0.1) enhances performance by enabling connections to 5GHz networks and public Wi-Fi, significantly improving remote play stability. User feedback suggests this update has markedly improved the overall experience.
