  • Digital Foundry: Hands-on with PS4 Remote Play on PC

    Pre-launch, PS4's Remote Play feature looked like a genuine game-changer, offering off-screen gameplay that would allow you to take your PS4 library anywhere in the home - as long as you had the required PS Vita hardware. In the wake of unofficial hacks, it's now possible to enjoy this benefit on PC or Mac with the release of PS4's latest 3.50 firmware - but the question is, just how good is the support? And can it improve upon a lacklustre showing on Vita devices?
    Alongside PS4's latest system software update, Sony has released a small application available for download here on its website, enabling your computer to interface with your console. Simply login to your PlayStation account, connect a Dual Shock 4 over USB and you're ready to go. The Remote Play application offers the same feature-set available on PS Vita, including 360p, 540p and 720p resolution settings along with 30fps and 60fps frame-rates. That being the case, 720p60 is the top-end experience available.
    If this all sounds on par with the Vita offering, that's because what we are looking at here is essentially a no-frills port of the existing streaming functionality - meaning we're looking at many of the same limitations. It's serviceable enough, but not quite where it needs to be in terms of latency and image quality, and not a patch on the same experience offered by Steam's in-home streaming.
