ps4-remote-play-xperia-z3When Sony announced the Xperia Z3, one of the features of the phone was the PS4 Remote Play. For those who might have missed the announcement or who are unsure as to what the PS4 Remote Play is about, it’s basically where the Xperia Z3 handset can act as a display in which you will be able to play your PlayStation 4 games on.

However according to Sony, the feature was meant only for Xperia devices, so for those who own HTC, Samsung, LG, or Motorola products, you would be out of luck – or are you? Well thanks to XDA Forum Member XperiaPlaystation, it seems that he has managed to port the feature so that it can now be installed on just about any Android device.

For those who are interested in checking out the port for themselves, you can head on over to the forum thread for the details and the instructions. Now as we have not tried this out ourselves, we can’t speak to just how well it works or if it will play nicely with every Android device out there, difference in hardware notwithstanding.

However as XperiaPlaystation notes, this will only work with devices that have Android 4.0 or higher, so if you’re still running an older build, you’ll probably want to upgrade first before proceeding with the installation of the port, but as with custom installs, do proceed with caution and always remember to backup first.
