Connecting a PS5 to a laptop requires understanding that most laptops are designed with only output HDMI ports, not input. This means you cannot directly use a laptop's screen to play PS5 games through an HDMI connection as you would with a TV or monitor. For gameplay on a laptop screen, you'd need to use Remote Play, a feature that allows you to stream your PS5 games to a laptop over a strong Wi-Fi connection. Install the PS Remote Play app on your laptop, connect your PS5, and you're set to enjoy your games on your laptop screen.
