For reasons unknown to the public (other than Sony being Sony), it’s been confirmed that the PS5 won’t feature remote play with the Playstation Vita.
If you were one of the people who were hoping to take their latest-gen gaming to the loo, I’m afraid you’re in for a rude awakening. And I don’t mean the continued toilet paper shortages of 2020.

Want more info? Here’s a video from our good friend 2 old 4 gaming on the matter:
The most disappointing, but perhaps not surprising, thing about this is that it’s a totally arbitrary decision. Since all of the actual game stuff happens on the PS5, the Vita only needs to stream a video signal from the PS5 to itself.
The process is no different whether it’s running on a PS4, PS5 or PS25.
But of course, Sony could not pass up an opportunity to take a dump on Vita fans.
One more for the books, I guess.

Once you’re done with setting up the Remote Play feature, it’s time for you to move on towards configuring the Remote Play feature with your PS Vita.
The process of streaming PS4 games using Vita is really simple and straightforward and does not entail many complications. However, it does require some basic setup and configuration steps.

Step 2:
Secondly, connect the Vita to the PlayStation Network.
Step 3:
Thirdly, tap the PS4 Link button on your Vita and then wait for the system to search for any PS4 present on the network. In case your PS4 is in the rest mode, it will automatically turn on without you doing anything. You also have a choice to connect your Vita to the PS4 over the internet if the consoles are connected to two separate network connections. However, you will need to sync the both devices in order to carry out the process successfully.

Let’s assume for some reason the PS4 could not be discovered. In such scenario, you can also opt for a second syncing process. Head to the Add Device Screen on your PS4. Here you will be given a code to input your Vita. Remember, this is only a one-time procedure which means that once you’ve added the code, the consoles will sync together, enabling you to be connected to the PS4 at any given time. For this, both the devices need to be connected to the internet
Step 5:
After the process is completed, the consoles will be synced together and you can enjoy your PS4 games remotely using Vita.
