One console. Two ways to watch.
ConsoleMouse is designed for mouse and keyboard controls on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through your Windows PC. GTA runs on your console.
TV Play — recommended
Use your Windows PC as the input host. Your console runs GTA and sends the picture directly to your TV over HDMI.
The PC stays powered on as the controls pass through your home network. This design does not require a dedicated converter or capture card.
PC Play — included
Watch the streamed console picture on your Windows PC. The game still runs on your console.
The console's video and audio travel over your home network to the PC player. This is a screen choice, not a different game edition.
Input and picture take different paths
TV Play: mouse + keyboard → Windows PC → home network → console. Picture: console → HDMI → TV.
PC Play: the same input path, plus the console's streamed picture and audio → PC player.
A hidden player does not establish that media traffic stops. Network requirements still apply in TV Play.
Controls that stay yours
Remap controls for on-foot play, driving and menus. Deliberate input capture and an emergency release keep desktop control in your hands.
Translation remains subject to the game's controller turn-rate limits. Physical-controller fallback may be needed for setup or special interactions.
Local play, clear boundaries
Play on the same home network, without a gameplay cloud relay. ConsoleMouse is an independent client, not Sony's PS Remote Play app.
Choose your picture and audio path
A monitor can show either the console’s HDMI input or the streamed PC picture. TV Play and PC Play describe the display path, not different game editions. With TV Play, use the console/TV audio path; PC Play receives the console stream and audio in the player. Audio switching and fallback need configuration-specific checks.
The PC screen turning off is different from the PC sleeping. Think about keyboard position, access to the capture-release controls, laptop power and ventilation. A closed lid, minimised player or changed monitor input is not a verified ConsoleMouse setup instruction. The controller remains available for setup and special interactions.
Profiles are chosen manually
Choose the on-foot, driving or menu context deliberately. The design does not detect a successful vehicle entry from an interaction key or silently switch the game state. Controller turn-rate limits still apply. The official Sony app is separate from the independent ConsoleMouse player; literal Sony-app compatibility has its own gate.
Stay informed
Release: within hours of the official GTA VI launch.
Does GTA VI run on my PC?
No. Your own console runs your legitimate copy. The Windows PC hosts the controls; PC Play also displays the console stream. ConsoleMouse is not a PC edition of GTA.
