Either way, you can play games on a Mac screen or a connected TV, and that’s pretty cool. We’ll cover it first, but if you want to use the USB approach, we’ll take care of that as well.

You can use the Playstation 4 controller either wirelessly via Bluetooth or with a USB cable, both are easy to install and work great once configured, so it’s just a personal preference, although many users prefer the wireless approach.
