This might sound weird to many but it’s 2020 guys. With the introduction of cloud gaming, you now play almost all PS4 games on Android phone or tablet.
And be aware, this is not about PS4 remote app or PS4 emulator. It doesn’t require PS4, unlike PS4 Remote app. And unlike PSP emulator, it doesn’t require storage space or hardware on your Android phone. Moreover, PS4 emulator doesn’t exist for Android or PC.
And since there’s no such hardware or software requirement, you can play PS4 games in any Android device with as low as 1GB RAM and internal storage. It can be used to play PS4 games on mobile phones from anywhere in the world. All you need is a decent internet connection. I have added a video guide also to demonstrate how PS4 games can be played on Android phones. Watch it.

About PS4 Android APK
The PS4 Android APK is a modified version of Gloud app which is available on Google Play Store. However, Gloud is in Chinese language and thus, you can use it for the most part.
One of the unknown developers modified the Gloud app to PS4 Android and also translated it to the English language so that anyone can use this app to play PlayStation 4 games in any Android device.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs’)
Yes, you can play almost any PlayStation 4 game on your Android device. Just browse through the list, find the one you wish to play, tap on it. Then tap on Start Game and then wait for your number in the queue to arrive.
Yes, PS4 Android is completely free app and you can play PS4 games in Android for free. However, if you want, you can buy games also or purchase gold coins to play PS4 games. However, I personally do not recommend doing that.
I am not sure about how long you can play for free but I played for more than an hours. And it worked flawlessly. Mostly because I have a decent internet connection (100Mbps).
To play PlayStation 4 games flawlessly on your Android phone, you need at least 10Mbps consistent internet connection.
No, mostly it doesn’t for free members. Enjoy this free PS4 gameplay as long as Stadia and other Cloud Gaming services get global.
No, it isn’t a virus unless you grant access to everything such as Microphone, Location, Contacts, etc. While installing the PS4 Android, deny all such sensitive permission to app. Only allow Storage access coz without that, it won’t work.
With that said, I can’t guarantee as I am not the app developer and it’s not on Play Store either. So use it at your discretion.
