The next major system software update for the PS4, known as version 3.50, codenamed Musashi is out tomorrow. It has been available to those on Sony's preview program but will finally be available to the general public.

Headlining the list of new things you can do with your PS4 is the ability to let you play PS4 games on your PC using the PS4 Remote Play feature. This will work with both Windows PC and Mac. In order to do so you'll need a PC with Windows 8.1 or later, or OS X 10.10 or later. You can choose between 30 or 60 frames per second and resolution options including 360p, 540p, and 720p.

Aside from a PS4, you'll also need a DualShock 4 controller connected to your PC using a USB cable and the Remote Play software installed as well.
