Relaypad: Remote Play Gamepad

Requires a PS5 or PS4 console with Remote Play turned on in its settings.

🎮 Remote Play Controller and Console Streaming for PS5 and PS4

Relaypad turns your Android phone into a wireless PS5 or PS4 controller with low latency, or streams your console to your phone, tablet or TV, at home or away over mobile data.

💡 What People Use Relaypad For

• Playing when the controller battery just died
• Browsing console menus and video apps with big remote keys
• Playing in bed or another room while the console stays by the TV
• Putting the picture on a hotel TV over HDMI, with the phone as the pad

🕹️ Virtual Gamepad, Layout Editor and Button Mapping

• Five layouts: Standard, Compact, Remote, Fighting and Racing
• Drag, resize or hide any button, and use your own layouts while streaming
• Touchpad, rumble, microphone and gyro motion controls
• Forward a Bluetooth or USB gamepad with automatic button mapping
• USB pads while streaming: adaptive triggers, light bar and haptics

📺 Console Streaming up to 1080p60 with HEVC and HDR

• 30 or 60 fps up to 1080p, manual bitrate, HEVC and HDR on supported phones
• FSR sharpening and an overlay with fps, packet loss and total latency
• TV output over HDMI, picture-in-picture, split layout on tablets and foldables
• Minimal mode, Fit, Stretch or Zoom scaling, auto reconnect on home Wi-Fi
• Data saver drops to 720p/30fps on mobile data

🌍 Remote Play Away From Home over Mobile Data

• Sign in once, then connect over 5G, 4G or another Wi-Fi, usually with no router setup
• Automatic UPnP port mapping, and home VPNs such as Tailscale work too
• Tells you when your carrier's shared address (CGNAT) blocks the connection

🩺 Connection Doctor: Find Out Why It Won't Connect

• 13 checks: network, console standby, Remote Play switch, latency and jitter
• Wi-Fi band, VPN, Bluetooth interference, UPnP, NAT type and public IPv4
• Copy the report or email it to us with one tap

🧭 Guided Setup in Four Steps

• Sign in inside the app or in your browser (passkeys work), or type your account ID
• PS5: register without a PIN, even in rest mode; or pair with the 8-digit code
• Save several consoles and accounts, rename or re-pair any time

💳 Free to Download, No Ads, No Subscription

Relaypad is free to download, shows no ads and has no subscription. If it does not work with your setup, email us your phone model and we will help.

🔒 Privacy

No Relaypad account and no Relaypad server between you and your console. Pairing keys and sign-in tokens stay on your device, encrypted with the Android Keystore. Anonymous statistics can be turned off.

📝 Before You Install

• You need your own console; no games or cloud gaming are included
• Android 8.0 or later; 4 GB of RAM and 5 GHz Wi-Fi recommended
• Your phone takes the place of a controller rather than playing alongside one
• After a console system update, Relaypad may need an update to connect again
