For all those gamers who wanted to be able to stream from their ps4 to their PC or Mac, you are in luck because Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, has just made it official that the company would be working on an official application that would make this possible both in PC as well as Mac. Now, to find a nice quiet corner of the office with good WiFi and few passersby.
Currently Remote Play on PS4 only compatible with PS Vita, certain Sony smartphones and Playstation TV, however an application developed by third parties (unofficial), went on sale this week making it possible that it could also be played on PC, with a fairly good performance.
Although now an independent developer has managed enable streaming between PS4 and PC , in addition to taking into account that Xbox One already supports this natively with Windows 10, owners of a PS4 have been asking Sony for a long time wondering why this feature had not been included as standard with the console as it is. as with Xbox One.
As you can see from the image, Shuhei Yoshida affirms the following through his Twitter:
«Some people have asked me if we have plans to enable Remote Play function on PC, and yes, in fact we are working on an official application for both PC and Mac »
On the other hand, although it is great news for most users, it is not for everyone and I am referring specifically to the developer behind the unofficial application, who has been working to transfer this function in his project and now see how Sony is going to steal the spotlight.
Even so, nothing has been said about moving the function to other Android or iOS devices, so this market niche is still open for other developers to launch with independent tools. Aside fans of the DualShock 4 (the PS4 controller), they also hope that along with the release of this feature, the official drivers arrive for the controller for both PC and Mac, which would allow greater comfort when playing and definitively complete the experience.
