If you are a video game enthusiast, you must have heard about or owned the Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4). The Sony PS4 is currently the best game console in the market, featuring with stunning hardware performance and the DUALSHOCK controller.You can even directly share your epic triumphs game experience with your friends by simply press the “Share” button. Moreover, one of the most headline-grabbing features of the PS4 is that it supports 4K movie streaming! With the HDMI 2.0 cable connected, you can play 4K movie with PS4 and enjoy it on 4K TV, or big screen TV! Amazing, isn’t it?



Though PS4 supports 4K movie streaming, not all 4K videos are accepted by the PS4. Currently, most 4K movies are recorded in MXF/RAW/XAVC/XAVC-S format, while PS4 supports .mp4 files best. That means, although you can play 4K videos on PS4, there aren’t many 4K MP4 video source available for you. What a pity!
