Still, if you’ve got a PlayStation 4 or are considering a console purchase, it’s well worth knowing about this added Mac benefit for when you’re traveling or simply want to play away from your TV. But if you’ve got a shaky connection any step of the way, its value quickly disintegrates. With the Mac installer and a PS4 gamepad, you can tap into the digital and disc-based games on the most popular game console on the market today.Īnd it works pretty well-at least under the most ideal conditions. Sound complicated and/or convoluted? Surprisingly, it’s not: Thanks to the latest system update released for PlayStation 4, it’s now possible to stream games directly from the console to your Mac or PC over an Internet connection. Oh, and you’ll need a PlayStation 4 console, of course. It’s not emulation, and no, the Blu-ray discs won’t work in your computer… assuming you even still have an optical drive. As of early April, you can now play PlayStation 4 games right on your Mac.
