10 Features The PS5 Desperately Needs

3. Remote Play In 4K HDR 60fps

Despite the console's incredible ability to seamlessly capture 4K HDR video at 60fps, those hoping to see similar results with Remote Play are sure to be disappointed.

Much like the PS4, the PS5's maximum Remote Play streaming resolution is 1080p at up to 60fps, though it does at least introduce HDR functionality.

Still, given how prevalent home streaming of 4K video is becoming nowadays, it's a shame that players aren't given more options for playing PS5 in higher resolutions even if they're away from their console.

It's obviously a far more bandwidth-demanding proposition than 1080p, yet its absence remains conspicuous regardless.

This is another feature which Sony will possibly patch in at a later date given that it's absolutely within the PS5's technical wheelhouse, but this is also why it feels like a baffling omission day one.
