To connect your PS5 to a PC using HDMI, you will need an HDMI input port on your PC, which is uncommon. Most PCs have HDMI output for monitors, not input. If your PC does have an HDMI input, just connect the HDMI cable from your PS5 to the input port on your PC, and select the correct HDMI input source on your PC settings. However, if you're looking to stream or capture PS5 gameplay, a more feasible solution is using a capture card installed in your PC.
