What is PS Remote Play?
PS Remote Play is a game streaming app for Mac that lets you access and control a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 from your computer. It is designed for players who want to continue console gaming away from the TV, whether they are in another room at home or connecting remotely over the internet. The app streams the console’s video and audio to your Mac and supports compatible PlayStation controllers for play input. On Mac, it can also work with hardware keyboard input in supported games. Common uses include playing when the main TV is busy, checking in on a game session from a laptop, and joining voice or text interactions through the connected system. Sony Interactive Entertainment publishes PS Remote Play as part of the broader PlayStation ecosystem across console, mobile, and computer platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
PS Remote Play is legitimate software for accessing your own PlayStation console from a Mac. Network access and local network permission are normal for pairing with and streaming from a console, and the app may handle your PlayStation Network sign-in as part of setup. Because it streams gameplay and account-connected features, use it on a trusted Mac and secure network, and sign out if you no longer use it on a shared computer.
Recommendation: Keep PS Remote Play if you use a PS5 or PS4 and want to play from your Mac. If you do not use Remote Play, you can remove it without affecting your console itself, though you will lose the ability to stream and control that console from this Mac until you reinstall it.
