Chiaki

Chiaki is 100% free and open-source software that allows you to play your PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 remotely on your Windows PC. There are no minimum requirements. No added difficulties. You can play all your console games from the comfort of your desktop, PC, or laptop.

Set it up easily

If both the console and the PC are on the same network, and the console is turned on or on standby, Chiaki will most likely be able to find and display it on-screen. If not, you just have to add it manually. To do this, simply click on the "+" button in the upper right corner of the screen and enter the IP address of your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console. Once done, it will appear on the list of available consoles.

Get your PSN AccountID effortlessly

An essential step to be able to use Chiaki is to get your AccountID. This unique key is linked to your PSN account, and to get it, you'll need to run a Python 3 script, which can be found on the program's official website. Although this step might sound complicated, it's actually very simple. In less than five minutes, you'll have your AccountID and can continue setting up just like that. Luckily, you'll only have to do this step once and never again.

These are the final steps to play PS4 and PS5 on PC

The last thing you must do to start using Chiaki depends on your console. If you're using a PlayStation 4, simply go to Settings, Remote Play, and Add Device. The PlayStation 5 path, however, is Settings, System, Remote Play, and Link Device. In both cases, once you've added the console using the Registration PIN, just double-click on Chiaki and start playing remotely.

Play PS4 or PS5 anywhere you like

If you have a PS4 or PS5 console and want to play it whenever and wherever you want without having to carry it around everywhere, then download Chiaki. One of the best uses of this software, for example, is to play your console, which you can leave on standby at home, from your laptop anywhere in the world.
