Chiaki

Ever wanted to play your favorite PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 games on your Windows PC? Well, now you can thanks to Chiaki, a free and open source application that brings remote play to your desktop or laptop. No complicated hardware requirements, no subscriptions, just a smooth and simple way to enjoy your console library from the comfort of your computer.

Getting started with Chiaki is surprisingly easy. If your PlayStation and PC are connected to the same Wi Fi network, the app will automatically find your console and show it right on the screen. If not, no worries just enter your console’s IP address manually. The only extra step is grabbing your unique AccountID, which involves running a quick Python 3 script (don’t worry, it’s a one time thing and the instructions are clear). After that, you’re just a few clicks away from diving into your games remotely. Whether you’re in another room or just prefer playing at your desk, Chiaki makes it feel seamless.
