Gaming with ExpressVPN on PlayStation
Gaming online on PlayStation with ExpressVPN keeps your data private while also protecting you from DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. A VPN can also lower ping times between gaming servers by connecting you to locations closer to the network hosts.
Why you should use a VPN for Playstation
Powerful protection
Avoid DDoS attacks by masking your IP. ExpressVPN also features 256-bit AES, leak protection, a kill switch, and split tunneling.
Boost connectivity
Enjoy unlimited, premium bandwidth. Minimize ping and lag with VPN servers in 94 countries.
Bypass throttling
Limit your ISP from slowing your connection. With a VPN, data can’t be inspected, so your bandwidth won’t be throttled.
Access more online
Get the latest DLC and games from early launch date countries. Play games even if they’re censored where you are.
Play on all devices
Whether you prefer to play on a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, tablet, or phone, ExpressVPN has you covered.
Game without borders
No matter where you are around the world, simply change your region and play together with your friends.

ExpressVPN for routers
With ExpressVPN on your router, you can extend all the privacy and security of a VPN to every device in your home, including your PlayStation. It’s easy to leave the VPN on your router on all the time; this ensures all-in-one protection for anyone who joins your Wi-Fi network, including guests.
Ready to get ExpressVPN for routers? It’s easy, and we’ll walk you through the setup step-by-step.
Not ready for a VPN router? Consider using your Windows computer as a “virtual router” instead.
Use our MediaStreamer service
MediaStreamer helps you watch content that might otherwise not be available to you. It’s the easiest to set up, but it doesn’t offer the protection or gaming benefits of a VPN. (Learn how to set up MediaStreamer on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.)
Get a VPN for PlayStation Plus cloud gaming
The PlayStation Plus Premium membership plan offers cloud-based gaming that allows subscribers to stream over 800 PS2, PS3, and PS4 titles on the PS4, PS5, and PC. You can also locally download more than 300 PS4 titles to your PS4 console.
Using a VPN can help you ensure you achieve the minimum speed of 5Mbps required for a stable and secure cloud gaming experience.

Can I use a free VPN on the PlayStation?
Free proxy services are not recommended for gaming online as they do not offer the same privacy and security benefits of a paid VPN. Many do not work as advertised, some may even sell your data, and most will leave your networks vulnerable to attack.

Frequently asked questions
Does ExpressVPN work on all the latest gaming devices?
Just about! You can currently use ExpressVPN with PlayStation 5, 4, and 3, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, you can set up ExpressVPN on a supported router to enable VPN protection for every device in your home.
Does MediaStreamer offer the same protection as a VPN?
Unfortunately, it does not. MediaStreamer changes your apparent location without offering the same privacy protections as a VPN. In order to use your PlayStation with all the benefits of a VPN, you’ll need to connect it to a compatible router by using the ExpressVPN app for routers.
Can I use ExpressVPN on other devices at the same time?
Yes! ExpressVPN is available on a wide array of devices including computers, smartphones, smart TVs and streaming media players, and game consoles. You can install ExpressVPN on as many devices as you wish, and connect up to eight devices simultaneously with a 6- or 12-month subscription. Or install ExpressVPN on your Wi-Fi router to connect even more.
Does using a VPN for PlayStation boost gaming speeds?
It can. If your ISP (internet service provider) is intentionally throttling certain kinds of network traffic, a VPN can bypass these restrictions and restore your network speeds to their default levels. In some instances, users have even reported faster-than-average gaming speeds.
Does a VPN let me use PlayStation Plus for free?
No. You will need to separately sign up for a PlayStation Plus subscription. ExpressVPN will complement your PlayStation Plus subscription by providing a more secure, more stable online gaming experience.
In what regions is PlayStation Plus available?
Does ExpressVPN keep logs?
ExpressVPN is first and foremost a privacy company and therefore stores no activity logs and no connection logs. ExpressVPN also never stores any data that would allow anyone to trace a specific network activity or behavior back to an individual user. Read more about ExpressVPN’s commitment to privacy and policy toward logs.
How can ExpressVPN for routers improve my gaming?
In addition to keeping your data and files safe and hidden behind an encrypted network, connecting your PS5, PS4, or PS3 through a VPN router protects you from potential DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. You can also use a VPN to cut ping times between various gaming servers by connecting to locations closer to the network hosts.
How do I use my router to set up a VPN?
You can either install the ExpressVPN app on a compatible Wi-Fi router, or get a router that's pre-installed with ExpressVPN.
