Yep, you can! Just use a capture card and HDMI cable to connect your PS5 to your laptop. It's a bit of a workaround, but it gets the job done.

Honestly, it's not the best idea. Capture cards can be laggy and the setup is cumbersome. Just get a monitor or a TV.

I've done it! Get yourself a capture card, connect it via HDMI to your PS5, and use your laptop's USB port. It鈥檚 not the same as a dedicated monitor, but it works pretty well!

Totally possible! Hook up your PS5 with an HDMI cable to a capture card, then connect the capture card to your laptop via USB. Software like OBS will do the rest.
