Stream Your PS4 To PC And Mac When Update 3.5 Arrives
The beta for PlayStation 4’s next big update is right around the corner. And while many of the features will be available to those who have signed up and been accepted. One major feature won’t be available quite yet, though.
When update 3.5 arrives, you’ll be able to stream your PlayStation 4 to PC or Mac. Specific details on how this will work haven’t been revealed yet, but Sony is calling it “Remote Play,” the same as on Vita and the ill-fated PlayStation TV.
Also in the next update, players will be able to appear offline, see when their friends sign on, schedule play dates with friends, and stream to Dailymotion (joining Twitch and YouTube). The beta begins tomorrow.

Our Take
I use Xbox One streaming to my laptop so my son can play without being in my office. The same feature on PlayStation 4 will get plenty of use in my house.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
