The Remote Play error on the PlayStation 5 usually occurs if there is an issue with connectivity between the user and PlayStation’s own servers. Hence, there are a few ways to deal with the issue from your end.

Restarting your internet router can also help. The problem with connectivity might be from your end, and you can either try and fix it by restarting your router or by calling your internet provider with the issue that you are having.
