Chromebooks have become increasingly popular over the past few years, as they’re lightweight, user-friendly, and relatively affordable. But one of the biggest knocks against them is that they can’t play games. That’s not necessarily true anymore, as it’s now possible to play PS4 games on a Chromebook.
What You Need to Play PS4 Games on Chromebook
Before you can start playing PS4 games on your Chromebook, you’ll need to make sure you have the right equipment. First, you’ll need a Chromebook that supports Google Play. This means that it needs to be running Chrome OS version 53 or higher. You’ll also need an active Sony PlayStation Network (PSN) account and an app called “Remotr” installed on both your Chromebook and your PlayStation 4.
How to Install Remotr on Your Chromebook and PlayStation 4
Once you’ve made sure your Chromebook is compatible and you have an active PSN account, the next step is to install Remotr on both your Chromebook and your PlayStation 4. To do this, simply go to the Google Play Store on your Chromebook and search for “Remotr.” Once you’ve found the app, click “Install” and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once you’ve installed Remotr on your Chromebook, you’ll need to install it on your PlayStation 4. To do this, go to the PlayStation Store on your console and search for “Remotr.” Once you’ve found the app, click “Download” and follow the on-screen instructions.
Connecting Your Chromebook and PlayStation 4

This is fairly simple, as all you have to do is open the Remotr app on both devices, then enter the code that appears on your Chromebook into the Remotr app on your PlayStation 4. Once you’ve done this, your Chromebook and PlayStation 4 should be connected.
Playing PS4 Games on Your Chromebook
Once your Chromebook and PlayStation 4 are connected, you’re ready to start playing PS4 games on your Chromebook. To do this, open the Remotr app on your Chromebook, then click “Connect” and select your PlayStation 4.
