A Mac computer is a powerful machine that's well up to the challenge of handling the memory and graphics associated with a PlayStation 4 game, so why not play PS4 games on your Mac?
One reason might be that you hate the idea of using the keyboard, trackpad, and a mouse to game.
Well, you don't have to. It's easy to connect a PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller to your Mac so that you can enjoy gameplay in just the same manner as you would with the console.
