As revealed by the official PlayStation Twitter handle, the PS Remote Play app for Android is getting a new update that finally adds support for the DualSense wireless controller. While the PS Remote Play app for Android has had PlayStation 5 support since October last year, users could only use the DualShock 4 controller (even if they were streaming from a PlayStation 5). But that finally changes today.

For the unaware, the PS Remote Play app lets PlayStation console owners stream games to a phone or tablet over their local network. Users can play using the on-screen buttons or a compatible wireless controller. Initially exclusive to Sony Xperia smartphones, Sony eventually opened up the app to all Android and iOS devices in 2019. Last year, the app gained support for the PlayStation 5.
