On the PlayStation 4 you can play remotely from a PC or Mac

На PlayStation 4 можно будет играть удалённо с PC или Mac

The possibility of a remote game from computers on the consoles appeared not so long ago. The pioneer in this area was Microsoft, which integrated into the Windows 10 operating system the ability to connect to the Xbox One console and remotely play games directly on the monitor by connecting a game controller to the computer. Sony also has a remote play mode on the PS4 called Remote Play, though it is carried out using the PlayStation Vita pocket console. And now, apparently, there will be an opportunity to run games directly from PCs and computers manufactured by Apple.


Microsoft claims that hundreds of thousands of Xbox One owners use the remote game on the console every day. Indeed, this regime can be very useful. For example, if your family wants to watch TV, you simply turn on the console and display the picture from it to your computer in the next room, or, while at work, surreptitiously knocking out trophies in your favorite game that is running at home on the console.

Programmer-enthusiast under the nickname twisted0ne1989 even wrote an unofficial application Twisted, which allows you to remotely play on the PlayStation 4 with a PC, though, the software is paid and costs $ 10. Apparently, Sony did not like that someone is trying to cash in on what they can provide their users for free, so the president of Sony Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida officially stated in his Twitter the following:

"Many people ask if we are going to supplement the Remote Play feature with the support of personal computers. Yes, we are working on an official client application for PC and Mac. "

It turns out that Sony will make happy the owners of two platforms, running Windows and Mac OS. This is not offered to its users, even Microsoft. I wonder how long we will have to wait for the introduction of this mode in the official firmware of the PS4 console?
