Sony released a new update of its application Remote Play. From now on, when you use it on an iPhone or iPad, you will be able to take advantage of the new PS5 controller and one of its main features when you play via streaming. The only requirement is to have version 14.5 of the iOS or iPadOS system installed for DualSense to be one hundred percent compatible.
iOS 14.5 and PS5 DualSense support
During the betas of iOS 14.5 We already knew that Apple's mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) were going to get full support for new drivers of recent console games such as the PlayStation 5 or the new Xbox Series X and Series S.
In the case of the Sony console, this improvement in the dual sense support was going to be especially attractive when combined with the app Remote Play on iOS and iPadOS devices, that allows you to play on the screen of these Apple products remotely and that you do not have to confuse with the option of share screen from other devices. Because although it also offers compatibility with Windows computers, Mac and Android terminals, it is on the iPhone and iPad where details such as adaptive triggers could be used. Although other aspects such as the haptic vibration motor or the audio output are not fully operational.
These triggers allow much more precise and rewarding control in all those games that support these new triggers that respond based on the pressure that is exerted on them. Of course, it is not enough to have the latest version of Remote Play or a DualSense, it is also necessary to have cari that you have version 14.5 of iOS or iPadOS.
Likewise, if you do not meet the system requirement or do not update the Sony application, you will not be able to enjoy DualSense and the only option to play remotely will continue to be to use controllers such as the PS4 DualShock 4.
And as we have clarified before, no, Android users do not currently have the option of using the PS5 controller in the same way when using this same application that is also available for the Google platform.
How to connect the PS5 DualSense to your iPhone or iPad
As we have already explained on more than one occasion, connect the DualSense to an iPhone or iPad It is a very simple process that is not far from what we already knew how to do with controllers like the PS4 or the previous Xbox One.
This process basically just consists of turning on Bluetooth on the iPhone or iPad and then putting the Sony controller into pairing mode (hold down the central PlayStation button next to the share button until the controller LED starts blinking). Once you have it, go to the Bluetooth settings of iOS or iPadOS and look for the remote. Tap on it to make it pair up and that's it, you'll have everything to play with.
In addition to this, version 14.5 of iOS and iPadOS also give you the option to configure the buttons, in case you want to use a particular scheme for whatever reason. This redialing of the buttons of the Sony controller is done from Settings> General> Game controller> Personalization.
