FIRST STEP: SET UP YOUR PS4 FOR REMOTE PLAY
Before you PS4 gamers begin, be sure that you have the latest firmware installed on your console. To do this, from your PS4 go to Settings and then System Software Update.

Then, go back to Settings, then to PlayStation Network/Account Management, and then activate your console as the primary device. Lastly, from Settings, go to Power Saving Settings, then go to Set Features Available in Rest Mode. From there, check the boxes to stay connected to the internet and to enable turning on the console from the network.
SECOND STEP: INSTALL THE REMOTE PLAY SOFTWARE
To finish this process, install the Remote Play software on your computer. Then connect a PS4 controller to your computer, sign-in, and then wait for the app to register your console. After all of these steps have been achieved, you gamers will be able to enjoy streaming your PlayStation games on your Mac or Windows computer.
