You can use your Mac as a monitor for your PS4 console using Remote Play. Remote Play is a feature available on both Windows and Mac that allows you to stream your PS4 gameplay to your computer.
To use your Mac as a monitor for your PS4, you need to follow a few steps:
1. Set up your PS4 console:
– Connect your PS4 to your TV using an HDMI cable.
– Set up your PS4 by following the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network and sign in to your PlayStation Network account.
– Make sure your PS4 is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac.
2. Download and install the Remote Play app on your Mac:
– Open a web browser on your Mac and visit the official PlayStation website.
– Look for the Remote Play section and download the app for Mac.
– Once the download is complete, open the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the app on your Mac.
3. Connect your PS4 to your Mac:
– Launch the Remote Play app on your Mac.
– The app will search for your PS4 console on the same Wi-Fi network.
– Once the PS4 console is found, select it and click on “Connect”.
– If this is the first time you are connecting, you will need to enter a code displayed on your PS4 console to pair your Mac with the PS4.
4. Start using Remote Play:
– After the connection is established, your PS4 console’s screen will be displayed on your Mac.
– You can now use your Mac as a monitor for your PS4 and play games using the keyboard and mouse or a connected controller.
– You can also adjust the resolution and frame rate settings in the Remote Play app for a better gaming experience.
It’s important to note that using Remote Play to stream your PS4 gameplay to your Mac requires a stable and fast internet connection. If your Wi-Fi network is not reliable, you may experience lag or interruptions in the gameplay.
Additionally, using Remote Play on a Mac may not provide the same level of graphics quality as playing directly on a TV or monitor connected to your PS4. The streaming quality depends on your internet connection and the capabilities of your Mac.
Using your Mac as a monitor for your PS4 through Remote Play can be a convenient option if you want to play your PS4 games on a different screen or if your TV is not available.
