New Playstation 4 Update Set To Bring Remote Play To PC And Mac
Always wanted to stream your Playstation 4 games to your PC or Mac? Looks like you’ll be getting that wish soon. A blog post on the Playstation Blog outlines the latest features coming to Playstation 4’s 3.50 update and what beta tester can expect.
The update is set to go live tomorrow for those who opt for the beta, and will be the first to try out the new social and system features. If you weren’t able to be part of the beta, you can still read up on what Sony intends to bring to the full update once it gets released.
Here’s the list of features that the update will bring:
New Social Features
Friend Online Notification — Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update, you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign on the network.
Appear Offline — Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being bothered by friends. Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.
User Scheduled Event — Time for a play date! We’ve added the ability to schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.
Play Together — This feature allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together.
Other New System Features
Remote Play (PC/Mac) — We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.
Dailymotion — With this update, you’ll be able to live stream directly to Dailymotion on PS4. We’ll also support archiving live broadcasts like we do for other streaming services.
Keep an eye out for the update when it hits the Playstation Network.
