Moonlight Game Streaming: Play Your PC Games Remotely

Moonlight allows you to play your PC games remotely on almost any device.

moonlight-stream.org

Moonlight (formerly Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. We implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.

You can stream your collection of PC games from your GameStream-compatible PC to any supported device and play them remotely. Moonlight is perfect for gaming on the go without sacrificing the graphics and game selection available on PC.

Moonlight PC is an open source PC client for NVIDIA GameStream and Sunshine.

• Hardware accelerated video decoding on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• H.264, HEVC, and AV1 codec support (AV1 requires Sunshine and a supported host GPU)
• HDR streaming support
• 7.1 surround sound audio support
• 10-point multitouch support (Sunshine only)
• Gamepad support with force feedback and motion controls for up to 16 players
• Support for both pointer capture (for games) and direct mouse control (for remote desktop)
• Support for passing system-wide keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab to the host
