PS4 on iMac (via PS4 Remote App)

I believe that this is also available on Windows.  Microsoft had streaming first between Xbox One and Windows 10 computers, but not on the Mac as far as I know.  So, yeah, this is another win for Sony (for me…)

So, I went to my library and filter out only games and decided to play Valiant Hearts.  I haven’t played that game in quite some time and it is fantastic…

Here is the title screen for Valiant Hearts.  Both screen shots how my OS X window bar so you know this is on OS X (in this case, my iMac.  I could do this on my MacBook Pro as well. Probably would look better on the higher DPI screen, but I remiss).

So, yeah, if you have a PS4 (and you should be my PS4 friend!) and a Mac or Windows machine, download the PS4 Remote app and get playing remotely.  I believe it also works over the internet, not just your home network.  It will take a hefty connection to get it to work really well (such as an 802.11 ac) home network and you probably need at least a 10MB internet connection if you plan to play away from home… (and I mean both upload and download).

If you have the network and/or internet connection to support it… Go for it!
