Import your games

Import your games. Import your own games, transfer from a computer, and keep your progress with iCloud or Relay Sync.

Add your games

Keep an original copy of your own game files. On iPhone or iPad, choose Add games and select files in Files; on Mac, use File → Import, Command-I or drag into the window. Read the result for each file: added, already in your library or rejected. Renaming an extension does not convert a game.

No. Bring the game files you own. Relay never bundles games or firmware, and never links to places that do.

Game files

Keep a CUE sheet with every BIN track it references. CHD contains a compressed disc; an M3U playlist groups multiple discs. Preserve relative filenames and send companion files together. PBP, PSP and PlayStation 3 games are outside this PlayStation import path.

If something goes wrong

ZIP accepts stored or deflated files, up to 64 entries, 128 MiB per expanded file and 256 MiB total. Encrypted ZIP and ZIP64 are rejected. If a large game exceeds those limits, extract it locally and import the original file. Transfer itself has no product byte quota; device storage and importer limits still apply.

On your computer. Straight into Relay.

Choose your device. Drop your files or a whole folder. Relay adds supported games to your library, even when they come from different systems.

Relay Pro + a free Relay Account are required.

Files go straight to your device, or through an encrypted EU relay. Relay never stores them.

No transfer size cap. Your device still needs room, and supported formats apply.

  1. Open Relay.

    Add games → From a computer. Keep this screen open.

  2. Open your browser.

    Sign in with the same Relay Account, open Transfer, and pick your device.

  3. Drop. Watch. Play.

    Follow every file from sending to import. Two files can travel at once.
