Problems with the PSN login

This problem only affects users with PS4 firmware 7.0 or later where a PSN login must be performed to get your PSN-Account ID. Recently, some users reported problems when performing the PSN login. If you have problems to login to your PSN account just tell me your PSN user name and I will find out your PSN-Account ID for you. You can write me an email and I will try to reply as fast as possible. More information here:

Attention

PSPlay works with the latest PS5/ PS4 firmware. Please do not upgrade to a newer PS5/ PS4 firmware version if available until it is proven that PSPlay is still working. However, if you have updated and PSPlay has stopped working, it will take some time for me to fix the problems. So please keep that in mind.

*Please note: if you want to play over the internet, follow these instructions:

Ratings and reviews

Stable, easy to understand, with excellent customer support. Because of my network, I was unable to do the automatic configuration…but the steps on the website were easy to follow and I was able to complete the setup without issue. Response time is amazing but I didn't really need it. It's not often you get an application with detailed answers and friendly customer service at the same time. Nicely done indeed.

It took a bit of tinkering (I doubt there's a way to simplify this) but once you get it setup it works great and as advertised. I was initially having trouble after I setup the port forwarding, but all I did was manually reset my router and presto! Final Fantasy XIV on my phone! Suck it steam deck!

Spend the money and don't bother with the official Sony app. Once you've configured your router this thing works pretty well. There are times when connectivity gets bad but that could be due to my poor home connection. I've noticed when my device gets hot it will disconnect more often so perhaps it's intentional. I've been able to get the app working mostly well on my phone but it works occasionally on my tablet and will likely require more troubleshooting.
