About

PS Remote Play lets you control a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 console from a Mac at a different location, provided you have a high-speed internet connection. A PS5 or PS4 console is required.

  • Use the app to access and play supported console games remotely.
  • Remote Play is not available for every game; games requiring peripherals such as PlayStation VR2, PlayStation VR, or PlayStation Camera are not compatible.
  • Certain activities cannot be used at the same time as Remote Play, including playing Blu-ray or DVD discs, playing music, watching video services, and streaming games from PlayStation Plus Premium.

Install with brew install --cask sony-ps-remote-play. The cask requires macOS Monterey or later. After installation, open PS Remote Play and follow PlayStation’s setup instructions to connect to your console. Availability and behavior can vary with the console, operating system, and app version.
