You can stream on PS5 even without a capture card. To do so, you need to install a free app called PS Remote Play on your computer. This application can connect your PC and PlayStation 5 console.

Then, you can use the PS5 built-in feature, Broadcast, to stream on YouTube or Twitch. However, you need additional streaming software like OBS to stream PS5 on Discord or other platforms.

See how to stream gameplay on PS5 without a capture card:

Step 1. Connect your PS5 console with your PC by using a USB cable.

Step 2. Download PS Remote Play from the website and run it on your PC.

Step 3. Sign in with the same account you use for PS5.

Step 4. Go to Settings to change video quality.

Step 5. Click the PS5-*** button to connect this app to your PS5 console.

Step 6. Then, you can use the PS5 native feature to stream the gameplay.

• Go to Settings > Captures and Broadcast > Broadcasts to set up your streaming parameters.
• Launch the gameplay you want to stream, scroll over to the right to select the Broadcast, choose YouTube or Twitch, and follow the on-screen instructions to start streaming on PS5.
