This is a major set back. Having to call home and get the kids off the ps5 and put in a disk for remote play? What a waste of money.

Answer

Yes! It’s a remote play only device. You’re using this device to control your ps5.

Yes. The only time you wouldn’t need the disc is if you bought the game digitally. Digital games that are installed can be booted up instantly

If you installed the game via disc, then the disc is required to play.
