Do you have FIFA 17 on your PS4? Do you want to play it on your Android? It’s possible. And no, we are not talking about a game port for your Android mobile, but rather the possibility of using the Remote Play function to be able to play the well-known football game on any smartphone or tablet with the Google operating system. We explain how to get it in this little tutorial.
Requirements
If you want to be able to play FIFA 17 on your Android mobile, you will need to meet a series of essential requirements, both in what has to do with the software and the hardware.
First of all, you must have an original copy of FIFA 17 for PlayStation 4. Obviously, it is also essential to have a PlayStation 4 game console. In addition, it must be configured correctly in order to use the Remote Play function. If we don’t know how to do this setup process, take a look at this little PlayStation guide where you can find out how to activate this function and how to use it . Keep in mind that it is a native PS4 function , and that FIFA 17 is prepared to be compatible with this function, so your game console cannot suffer any damage. You will also need a DualShock 4 controller to be able to play FIFA 17 with the Remote Play function on your mobile .
In addition to this, it will be necessary to have a smartphone with an OTG-compatible connector , as well as a cable of this type. These are very very cheap, and you can get it for less than five euros. Of course, it is also possible to connect it via Bluetooth, although that will be a bit more complex. The smartphone must have Android 4.2 or later.
Finally, you need the APK file of the Remote Play application adapted to all Android mobiles, as well as the Sixaxis Controller App if you want to use Bluetooth and not the cable to use the remote.

Process
We are going to start by explaining the procedure you have to follow if you want to use your PlayStation 4 from your smartphone with a DualShock 4 controller connected by OTG to your smartphone. First you must connect the OTG cable to the DualShock 4 controller , and then connect it to the smartphone. Once you have done this, make sure that you can interact on your mobile with the controller you have connected. The most normal thing is that by pressing the buttons and moving the mobile it reacts in some way. If so, continue with the setup procedure. Now you have to start the Remote Play application . A dialog box will appear asking you for permission to use the USB. Click OK.
Then, you just have to follow the instructions on the screen to connect your smartphone to your PlayStation 4 and be able to use it from your smartphone. Keep in mind that what you would see on the screen of your game console you will now see on the screen of your smartphone. You just have to go to FIFA 17, and start it . The game supports this function, so you will not have any problem playing it on your mobile screen.
Connecting the controller via Bluetooth
Now, if you want to do without the cable because it is more convenient for you to use the remote connected by Bluetooth, then you can follow another procedure, although it is somewhat more complex. To do this you will have to download and install the Sixaxis Controller App, whose link you can find in the download section of this article.

Once you have done this, run the application and follow the instructions that appear within the application to pair the remote with the app and with the smartphone.
Then continue in the application, and go to the controller settings, reaching the Gamepad Settings section . Here make sure that the Enable Gamepad option is activated, because you will need it to use the DualShock 4 controller correctly with your PlayStation 4 game console. Once this is done, edit the mappins in the Sixaxis Controller App as follows, button X = A, circle button = B, square button = X, and triangle button = Y. With this, you will have correctly configured the mapping of the buttons to use them naturally.
