Sony Working on App to Stream PS4 Games on Mac and PC

by

Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida has announced on Twitter that the company is working on an official Remote Play app for Mac and PC, enabling users to stream and play PS4 games on desktops and notebooks, per The Verge.

MacBook-Pro-PS4
Remote Play is currently limited to various Sony devices, including the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV and newer Xperia-branded smartphones and tablets. All new PS4 games must be compatible with Remote Play, except for games that use peripherals such as PlayStation Move.

While owning a PS4 gaming console will still be required to play games like Fallout 4 or Destiny on a Mac or PC, the expanded Remote Play app will move Sony games one step closer to true cross-platform playability.

Brilliant, brilliant idea.

Kids hog the TV. You have the Playstation turned on, whirling away. You stream the game and play on your iMac/MacBook, wherever you want, with no framerate issues or performance problems. Hopefully the streaming will be really smooth and support some nice resolutions.
Xbox One already does this with Windows, it's not their idea.

It works really well on the Vita and PS TV, totally reasonable latency for most games. I expect 1080p. :)

Does this functionality let you play games if you are away from home on your laptop? Or does the computer need to be on the same local network as the PS4 for this to work?
Should work from anywhere if you have a decent signal at both ends. I spent a good few lunches at work doing Assassins Creed Black Flag busywork remotely from my vita. :)

I am SOO excited for this!! This opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Let's hope now that the remote play will work with multiple controllers, so co-operative play can happen!
