About this app

Play the console you already own — on the phone in your hand.

PadLink turns your Android phone into a screen and a controller for your own game
console on your home network. No extra hardware. No account with us. No game
library to buy into.

WHY PADLINK IS DIFFERENT

See exactly why it lags.
A live overlay shows ping, framerate, bitrate and packet loss while you play. When
a match goes bad you know within a second whether it was your Wi-Fi or the game,
instead of guessing.

Move every button to where your thumbs actually are.
A full drag-and-drop layout editor. Resize any control, change its opacity, hide the
ones you never press, snap to a 1% grid, undo anything. Start from built-in presets
for FPS, racing and fighting games, or build your own from scratch.

Bring your own controller.
Pair a Bluetooth gamepad or plug one in over USB OTG. PadLink hides the touch
overlay the moment it detects one and gives you the whole screen back.

Setup that tells you what is wrong.
A pre-flight checklist verifies what it can on its own instead of making you tick
boxes blindly. If a console does not show up, the diagnostics assistant checks six
known causes — mobile data, subnet mismatch, router discovery blocking, a fully
powered-off console, guest mode, Remote Play switched off — and hands you the exact
fix for the one that matched.

Built dark, on purpose.
One dark theme, tuned so the app never blinds you between sessions. Skins are drawn
in code, so they cost almost nothing to download.

FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT

Streaming, custom layouts and physical controller support are free forever and are
never behind a paywall. PRO is a one-time purchase that adds premium skins, the
sharpest quality preset and cloud backup for your layouts.

No ads while you play. No ads in the checkout. No full-screen ad when you open the
app.

WHAT YOU NEED

- A game console you own, with Remote Play turned on
- Your phone and your console on the same network, or a manually entered IP address
- A 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection for the best result

PadLink is not a cloud gaming service. It does not include, sell or stream any
games. It connects to hardware you already own. Nothing runs on our servers,
because there are none.

PRIVACY

PadLink asks for network and vibration permissions only. No location, no contacts,
no photos, no file storage. Your pairing key is stored in the Android keystore and
never leaves your device.

you already own. It is not a Sony Interactive Entertainment product, is not
