GTA VI on Android: PS5 Setup and Controller Guide
Rockstar does not currently list a native Android version of GTA VI. A compatible Android device can display a PS5 session through Sony's app while the PS5 runs the game.
Guide checked . Confirm current support in the official resources below.
Verify Android support before installing
Look for PS Remote Play in the official Google Play listing on your device and compare your Android version with Sony's current requirements. A Play Store listing may be unavailable on some models or regions.
The console renders the game; the phone receives video and sends input. A 90 Hz or 120 Hz panel does not make the PS5 render or stream at that same frame rate.
Pair a controller that your phone supports
Sony documents Bluetooth pairing for supported DualSense controllers on Android devices. A compatible phone-mounted controller may also work; check the accessory maker's support list and Sony's app requirements for your setup.
After pairing, test the controls in a short session. Some controller functions can be limited in Remote Play, and compatibility can vary by Android release and device.
Reduce common connection problems
PlayStation recommends a connection of at least 5 Mbps, with 15 Mbps or higher for a better experience. On Wi-Fi, keep the phone near the router, pause large downloads, and avoid switching networks during a session.
If you use mobile data, check carrier coverage, data limits, and possible charges. A fast display refresh rate cannot fix a congested network or an unstable route to the PS5.
Setup checklist
- Check Android and app availability
Confirm the official Play Store listing is available for your device and read Sony's current software requirements.
- Prepare the PS5
Install available updates, sign in to the PlayStation account for the session, and enable Remote Play in console settings.
- Install and pair
Install the official app, sign in, connect to the PS5, and pair a controller supported by both the phone and app.
- Compare a stable connection
Test near the router, pause downloads, and adjust the stream quality only if the current app offers that setting.
Common questions
Does a 120 Hz Android screen make GTA VI run at 120 FPS?
No. The phone's refresh rate does not control the PS5 game's frame rate or guarantee the incoming stream's frame rate.
Can every Android phone use PS Remote Play?
No. Check Sony's current requirements and the official Play Store listing for your model and region.
Can I use a Bluetooth controller?
Use a controller supported by your Android device and Sony's app, then follow the current pairing instructions. Some controller features may not be available during Remote Play.
