Sony has implemented remote play via PC, Mac and Windows 10 platforms for the PS4's 3.5 update. A quick sneak-peak on the PS4 remote play revealed options and the resolution along with the frame-rates in which they can be played. It's noted that your bandwidth speed between your router and devices will determine how fast you can stream in-home, and your general net connection will determine how fast you'll be able to remote play for devices not connected to the router. The resolutions can range from 360p to outright HD 720p resolutions default at 540p. The frame rates are default at 30fps with a potential boost of up to 60fps. It's worth noting that now both the Xbox One and PS4 support remote play through PCs. However, what's interesting is that despite the PS4 typically having higher resolution games than the Xbox One, the remote streaming options don't support those resolutions yet.
