'''Remote Play''' is a technique used to connect the [[PlayStation 4]] and the [[PlayStation Vita]]. The Vita acts as a [[Controller]] and displays a video stream send by the PS4.

Additionally in 2016 [[Sony]] released an official [[Windows]] '''Remote Play App'''<ref>https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/lang/en/index.html</ref>. This program enables any reasonably fast [[PC]] with a network connection to display the incoming video stream send by the PS4. A PS4 [[DualShock#DualShock 4|DualShock 4]] controller connected via USB is needed as an input device. There are three quality settings available: The lower the quality the less lagging is experienced by the player.

== Tomb Raider Games Supporting Remote Play ==

With the now discontinued PlayStation Vita 3G it was even possible to use Remote Play over a mobile phone network.
