Ready to take your PlayStation games with you, wherever you go? Here's how to make the best out of this experience.
Cloud gaming is a great way to enjoy some high-octane games while traveling or commuting. PlayStation's version is called Remote Play, and you can use it as long as you have a console at home. With these easy steps, you'll get going in no time.
