How to Play PS4 on Laptop with HDMI

Best Answer

You can't directly connect a PS4 to a laptop with just an HDMI cable because both devices have HDMI-out ports. Use a capture card and streaming software instead. You'll need to connect the PS4 to the capture card via HDMI, and then the capture card to your laptop via USB.

HDMI alone won’t cut it. You need a capture card or use Remote Play. Capture card: plug the PS4 to the card—card to laptop. Remote Play: download, install, and connect!

Bro, just don’t try it with HDMI alone. Capture card all the way or go for Remote Play.

Use Remote Play! It lets you play PS4 games on your laptop without any fancy gadgets. Just download the Remote Play app from Sony's website, connect your PS4 controller to the laptop, and follow the setup instructions.
