As mentioned above, to play PS5 games on your PS4 you'll first need to ensure that your PS4 and PS5 are both on the same wi-fi network and updated with the latest software. Also, ensure that it hasn't been more than 60 days since you last logged into your PS5 (log in if you're unsure).
Next, take the following steps to use Remote Play:
•Turn on your PS5 and log into the account you wish to access games from
•On your PS5, go to 'Settings', 'System' and then 'Remote Play'
•Select 'Enable Remote Play' and select to toggle Remote Play on (the toggle should be on the right-hand side when it's enabled)
•Make sure to leave your PS5 on or in rest mode
Sony's Share Play feature allows you to hand over control of the PS5 game you're playing to a friend, while you watch them play. When you start a Share Play session, you're the host and the other person is the visitor so, in this instance, the person with the PS5 should be the one to kick off the session.
Here are the steps the host needs to take to share a PS5 game to PS4 through Share Play:
•Set up a party chat with the visitor through the Parties tab (they need to be online)
•Once the party is created, press the PS button on the DualSense controller, go to 'Control Centre' and select the party voice chat card
•Select 'Start Share Screen' then 'Start Share Play'
•Select the PS4 owner (visitor) in the voice chat, invite the player and then select the play mode (the visitor needs to accept this invite)
If you want to share and play a PS5 game's local multiplayer or co-op mode with a friend, follow the above but instead of selecting the 'Visitor Plays as You' play mode, select 'Play a game with the Visitor'.
Here are the steps the host needs to take to play a PS5 game with a PS4 player through Share Play:

•Once the party is created, press the PS button on the DualSense controller, go to 'Control Centre' and select the party voice chat card
•Select 'Start Share Screen' then 'Start Share Play'
•Select the PS4 owner (visitor) in the voice chat, invite the player and then select the play mode (the visitor needs to accept this invite)
