The PS5 still runs the game
Your console remains part of the setup: it must be on or configured for Remote Play from rest mode. The computer or mobile device displays the console session and sends controls back. A laptop capable of running the Remote Play app is therefore not evidence that it can run GTA VI locally.
Prepare the account and connection now using the console interface or another supported game. That verifies your Remote Play setup, not GTA VI performance before its release. The GTA VI listing also does not establish availability in a separate cloud-streaming catalog.

Choose controls for your device
Sony's computer instructions use a supported controller connected by USB. On compatible phones and tablets, you can pair a supported controller or use the app's onscreen buttons. Device and operating-system compatibility should be checked against the current app requirements.
Choose controls for your device| Device | Preparation |
|---|
| Windows PC or Mac | Check system requirements and connect a supported controller |
|---|
| Android phone or tablet | Install the app and choose touch controls or a compatible controller |
|---|
| iPhone or iPad | Check App Store requirements and your controller's compatibility |

Check both ends of the connection
Sony gives 5 Mbps upload and download as its baseline recommendation and recommends at least 15 Mbps in both directions for better performance. These are Remote Play connection recommendations, not a promised GTA VI stream quality or response time.
Start with a nearby connection test before relying on access away from home. Mobile data requires enabling the app's mobile-data option, and availability can depend on your carrier and network. Watch your allowance: Sony warns that Remote Play can consume substantial data.
