![]() The installation is straight-forward and doesn’t require you to choose any settings, etc. Once completed, run the PS4 Remote Play program from your desktop. The first screen that will popup tells you to connect a DualShock 4 controller to your computer via USB. Once you have connected your controller, you can either click on Start or Settings. I suggest clicking on settings first to configure the resolution and frame rate.īy default, the resolution is set to 540p and the frame rate is set to Standard. If you are streaming PS4 games over your home network and everything is gigabit, then you should be fine changing the resolution to 720p and the frame rate to High. Obviously, if you run into sound issues or choppy graphics, you can change these setting each time you run remote play.Ĭurrently, remote play does not support 1080p or higher resolutions and may or may not in the future. If the PS4 doesn’t have the hardware to handle 1080p, then we’ll probably be stuck with 720p until the PS4.5 comes out. It’s also worth noting that remote play will work across the Internet too, but the results will depend heavily on the Internet connection speeds at both locations. I didn’t get to try this out, so I can’t really comment on how it performs.įinally, once you configure your settings, click on Start and you’ll first be asked to sign into the PlayStation network. You’ll obviously need a PSN account and it should be the same account that your PS4 is logged into. Once you have signed in, it will start searching for your PS4 automatically. It might take a minute or two while it searches for the console. If it doesn’t find your PS4, you can also click on the Register Manually button and try that method. If all goes well, you should get a window with your PS4 steaming to your Windows or Mac machine!Īs I mentioned above, the performance and quality of the game streaming was superb over the local network. If you are using a 1080p display, you won’t be as disappointed as I was with the 720p resolution. I have a 2560×1440 monitor and so the window is fairly small on the screen. If you have a 4K monitor, it’s going to be really small unless you have everything scaled up. If you are having issues getting everything working, log onto your PS4 and check a couple of settings. Firstly, go to Settings, then PlayStation Network/Account Management and select Activate as Your Primary PS4. You really only need to do this if you have multiple setup under the same account.
