Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios at Sony Computer Entertainment, revealed today that Sony is working on an official Playstation 4 Remote Play application for PC and Mac. Shuhei did not reveal anything more than that, however we believe that Sony saw the great potential of such an application after every gaming outlet focusing on the unofficial one that has been under development for quite some time.
Some people asked if we plan to provide Remote Play function to PC, and yes, we are indeed working on an official application for PC/Mac. 😀

It will be interesting to see whether Sony will send a C&D letter to YouTube’s ‘twisted0ne1989’ who has been working for the past 6-7 months on his unofficial PS4 Remote Play application for the PC.
Two weeks ago, twisted0ne1989 shared a video showing the input lag that is currently present in his application.

Well now we can all play Uncharted and The Last of Us on PC.
With a PS4 :3 :3
I already have a PS4, The Last of Us Remastered and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, so I am set.
I’m planning to buy a PS4 next year with a PS VR 🙂 🙂
Get it when Uncharted 4 comes out.
What’s the point? Serious question.
I’m gonna use it so I can finally use KB+M on the PS4 thats about it
This, but I doubt they will allow Keyboard/Mouse in games.
If they do, I doubt it would be very customizable. Either way, gonna love the input lag at 900p30
i read it multiple times i dont get it either.
Its like TB said on xbone “why would you want to stream an inferior hardware on a superior hardware?”
I see your point. But let’s say i’m on my pc and don’t feel like powering up the ps4 and play on the big screen tv ? Stay where i am and remote play that mufuka 😉
Uhh … don’t you need the ps4 to be on before you can use remote play? I’m not sure with this but that’s how “remote” works
That’s why you keep a ps4 remote on the computer’s desk :).
It don’t have WOL? That seems like a very natural thing to have on the system if you can use it for remote play.
Well, i wouldn’t bet on that app having WoL. From what i remember, the official ps4 app on iphone didn’t have WoL (not talking about standby mode). But yea if it had WoL it would be great.
Play my PS4 at work. IF they allow it via internet like the Vita.
Thats pretty cool I gues
How about PC port of Bloodborne?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I want that too
keep begging and it wont come. sadly.
Cut the begging.
I’d say Sony are worried that more people will create their own streaming apps if they don’t release a legit app… they know this would eventually find a jailbreak exploit and then all kinds of bs cat n mouse games would start up.. I’m sure Sony would rather avoid all that for as long as they can. They lost a lot of love for how they reacted over the ps3’s jailbreak and removal of Linux all that time ago.
Now we can stream the PS4 to the PC and use the Steam link to stream the stream to a TV. Then stream the whole mess to Twitch and go full circle.
For ultimate lag you would have to use a Playstation Now game.
And over Wi-Fi. xD
Yo dawg, so I heard you like streaming..
Technically not PC gaming.
so still requires a ps4, which I could care less about
so instead of turning on my HDTV i can just sit at my computer desk and play any PS4 game on my monitor.. that’s nice.. but it’s just mirroring the console. we still want other options as well like higher resolution/frame rate and graphics setting. i doubt that will ever happen lol…
I will now wait to play the Nathan Drake collection so I can do it on mouse & keyboard. Plus, by then the game will be $55, instead of $60……
No thanks, Don’t need a peasant box connected to my PC.
Seems like the market would be bigger if they allowed PC streaming to the console instead?
Feel sorry for the guy that was gonna charge $10 for downloading his app. I hope they implement Mouse + KB Support and 360 support too with key binding
