A new Sony survey is asking PlayStation 4 owners whether they'd be keen on Remote Play on Nintendo Switch.
It needs to happen, the whole point of remote play is to be able to stream PS4 gameplay on any device, switch could make a fine addition and even this could raise PS4/5 sales for switch owners. There are a number of takeaways from this, most surprisingly, the discussion of a Remote Play compatible DualShock controller with a screen, and the ability to use Remote Play on the Nintendo.
The appropriately-named redditor YouRedditHereFirst revealed the details of the survey, which asks a raft of questions about Remote Play, as well as images of the questions.
In a recent survey, Sony is asking players if they would be enthusiastic about the possibility of Remote Play on the Nintendo Switch. The Remote Play function allows people to stream PS4 games from their console to other devices, including Android smartphones and tablets, PC and Mac computers, and iOS systems, including iPhones and iPads.
Can You Remote Play Nintendo Switch
Remote Play lets you stream your PS4 games to a raft of devices, including a PS Vita, PC or smartphone, that are also connected to your broadband network. There's DualShock 4 wireless controller suppport, too.
The headline question is this:
'Ability to PS4 Remote Play on more devices (eg able to play on Nintendo Switch, Apple TV or Android TV).'
The user then selects how appealing they'd find that, choosing from five options.
Meanwhile, other questions posed by the survey suggest Sony is thinking about allowing Remote Play on a device that's not connected to the internet, allowing Remote Play without a PS4 connected to the internet, enabling access to PS1 and PS2 games, releasing a slim/portable DualShock controller that's easier to carry on-the-go, and letting you connect other controllers, such as an Xbox controller or mouse and keyboard.
Nintendo Switch Remote Play Ps4
Of course, this is just a survey, and Sony may never action anything mentioned here, let alone release the Remote Play app on Nintendo Switch. But the survey does provide us with a snapshot of Sony's thinking on the future of Remote Play, and it sounds pretty interesting.
