![]() I thought it’d be a different story with the MacBook Air, but I managed to play through a story mission of Destiny with no perceptible input lag and no grievances beyond the degraded visual quality. The latter has a couple of GTX 780s, 32GB RAM and an i7-4770K - it wouldn’t have any issues with the requirements. To get a thorough idea of how Remote Play performed, I used two systems: my 11″ MacBook Air (a 2014 model, which doesn’t have an ethernet port) and my main gaming/video editing PC. Fortunately, it holds up really well - but as I mentioned before, the PS4 has to be running through a wired connection. One small quirk: if you do choose to play at 60fps, you won’t be able to use the PS4’s in-built recording functions. In case you’re curious, the full list of resolutions and options are: 360p, 540p and 720p, along with Standard (30fps) and High (60fps). You can also modify the streamed resolution and frame rate at this stage, which you’ll want to do since it’s set to 540p and 30fps by default. When you first install Remote Play you’re asked to hook up a controller via USB, although you can start the connection process without one. Fortunately, Remote Play didn’t have any issues with my PC that already had third-party DS4 drivers installed (in the form of the excellent DS4Windows). It doesn’t matter whether or not your DS4 is already paired to the PC. ![]() Regardless of whether you’re playing on PC or Mac, you’ll also need a DualShock 4 controller connected via USB to the computer. Whether or not you do so for the client computer is another matter. What’s not listed in the specifications, but you should still consider absolutely necessary, is a wired connection for at least the PS4. On PC the installer was just over 17mb the Mac download weighs in at 5.6mb. The specs are pretty damn low and the application itself isn’t too large either. Intel Core i5-520M Processor 2.40 GHz or faster br> Intel Core i5-560M Processor 2.67 GHz or faster br>ġ024 x 768 or higher display resolution br>Īnd for those keen on getting Remote Play going on your Mac, you’ll need at least this much grunt: The full list of requirements and specifications for PC is: ![]() And so far it’s pretty impressive - with a few caveats.īefore we get into specifics you will at some point need to download the Remote Play app from Sony. I’ve toyed around with Remote Play for a number of hours across a variety of games. The idea is pretty attractive, especially for those with families or large sharehouses where there’s a high possibility of the TV being in use. Sony unleashed its latest major software update for the PS4 on the world last night, and with it came Remote Play on PC and Mac.
