Pair to PS5

Fundamentals

• If you only use one PSN account, you only need to pair up once
• If you switch PSN accounts (e.g., your friend's account), you need to pair up again
• Note: After switching accounts, the remote play switch is turned off by default. Be sure to turn it on

Make sure your PC and PS5 are in the same local network

• Make sure your PC and PS5 are connected to the same router
• Highly recommended: Both PC and PS5 use wired network cable
• If one device uses WiFi, there is a probability of error, depending on your signal quality
• Never connect both devices with WiFi — there will be problems

Automatically find your PS5 IP address

1. Click "Search" to find the PS5 in the PC local network
2. If you don't find one, check that PS5 and PC are in the same local network
3. If found, click Test Connection — it should appear successful

Get PSN Account ID

1. Fill in your PSN Username (e.g., xCashoutYT)

2. Click "Get Account ID" — wait 3 seconds, the Account ID will show up
3. If it fails, check that the username is spelled correctly (case-sensitive)

Note: Your privacy settings need to allow "Anyone" to find you in search. You can change this back once you have your Account ID.

Pair (The most important step)

1. PS5: Settings → System → Remote Play → Enable Remote Play → Turn On the Switch
   • This switch is turned off by default, especially if you switch to a friend's account
2. PS5: Return to Remote Play → Click "Pair Device" → note the 8-digit Pin code
3. PC: Fill the Pin code into PS5 RP Pin → Click "Register"
4. PS5: Make sure the PS5 is on the "8-digit" interface
5. If successful, the pairing is completed. If something goes wrong, try again

Test Connection

1. Select the current task on the right: "Do Nothing"
2. Click the RUN button
3. After a few seconds, check if you can see the PS5 screen in the monitor
4. If you see the PS5 screen, the pairing was successful
