Sony has just announced that tomorrow’s system software update for PS4 will enable Remote Play for the PC and Mac. This is a feature that a lot of gamers were looking forward to, and was brought originally to our attention via the unofficial method produced by YouTube’s ‘twisted0ne1989’.
As Sony noted, there will be three resolutions to choose from and two framerate options. In addition, Sony claimed that this app will be supported only by Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or later, OS X 10.10 and OS X 10.11.
Here is what Sony had to say about Playstation 4 Remote Play for the PC and Mac:
Remote Play on PC / Mac is compatible with the following system software:
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10 or later
- OS X 10.10
- OS X 10.11
You’ll be able to select from the following resolution and frame rate options, depending on your Internet bandwidth.
- Resolution options: 360p, 540p, 720p (Default: 540p)
- Frame rate : Standard (30fps), High (60fps) (Default: Standard)
You can use one DualShock 4 as the controller for Remote Play, which needs to be connected to your PC / Mac via a USB cable.
After the system software update launches, you’ll be able to download the Remote Play Installer here.

no keyboard/mouse support? :X
Finally, for my Win and Mac! Can’t stand the current software I’m using. It’s really frustrating when your controller selects two players (mirrored) instead of one, in any LAN game.
Best news in ages!
Finally Naughty Dog games on PC.
wtf?O_o
it’s Remote Play …
I know its Remote Play, but I do own a PS4, so now I can play them on PC as well.
No you can’t, it just streams to your PC monitor. The game is still being moved by the PissStation.
If 720p with tons of video compression and latency sounds like your thing…well you may be more accepted around the less enlightened parts of the internet like N4G.
No because you need a PS4 to do it, it’s basically like paying a Sony tax, this is only for people who have both systems and nothing more, seem pretty useless.
why don’t they utilize the PC GPU with remote play? that will be better
isn’t this one of those features where you have to rely on the internet connection.. speed.. and bandwidth? i’ll pass..
720p max with a ton of video compression and latency? Even starving Ethiopians aren’t willing to stoop to this level of peasantry.
“Resolution options: 360p, 540p, 720p (Default: 540p)”
PFFFFFFFFT
LOL, We can stream out Steam games to a laptop better than that.
why play on pc via remote play @720p, when you can play on big screen tv @1080p directly with ps4??
a useless feature
Its just the start bro. 1080p streaming will come eventually.
Resolution options: 360p, 540p, 720p (Default: 540p), I have ps4 but pass
On one hand 60 FPS, on the other 720p and the fact that one has to own the bloody console, a decent internet connection, latency issues, no M+KB (atm?)…
Not going to go well.
No option for KB/M? yea you lost me….
You know what’s funny…MotionJoy for the DS3 controller stopped working today for no apparent reason on Windows 10, and can’t make it work at all.
*Insert Alien meme here*
I’ll just wait 10 years for PS4 emulator thank you very much
