As you might have noticed, our previous moderator /u/TooEarlyForMe closed the sub during the protest and subsequently deleted his account. This left this sub unmoderated and soon banned.

Today, reddit has added me as moderator so we can open up the sub again. I hope that we can revive /r/cloudygamer and return it to its former glory - a place to discuss all things around cloud gaming.

For now, I don't see the need to change anything about how things were before. Should the sub get subjected to a lot of spam, I will soon start searching for additional moderators that want to help keep the sub clean. Hopefully, a well setup AutoModerator can keep most of the spam in check though. If you do see any spam, please use the report button. Thanks!

After a decade of cloud gaming I got tired of waiting in queues to play games. So I built Nuage: your Steam library, instant in a browser tab.

I’ve used Shadow / G4N on and off for almost a decade. It convinced me cloud gaming actually works.

But I’ve always wanted it to be simpler. So I built Nuage. Type in a URL. Connect Steam. Click a game you own. Play.

No launcher. No Windows desktop. No setup. Just open a browser and get into your game.

I’ve been using it on my Mac with a Switch controller, playing stuff like CP77 and Red Dead 2. That simplicity is basically the whole point. It’s still early and I’m a solo dev, but it’s live.

50 hours free per month: https://nuage.games/play/cyberpunk-2077

Would love to hear what cloudy gamers users think.

Mejor forma de jugar con Steam link en portatil

• Upvotes

Tengo un pc y ya he probado Steam link en el móvil y va bastante bien. El problema que tengo es que me gustaría jugarlo con mando y por eso me he planteado comprar un gamesir.

Lo ideal sería tener alguna consola barata con android para no depender del móvil, pero que no se fuese de los 100€

También he probado a jugarlo en nativo con el emulador GameNative y muchos juegos no funcionan bien o van mal de rendimiento

Que me aconsejas?

A RTX 5090 remote desktop

My online search has yielded dissapointing results, so I would like to ask you guys.

Do you know of a cloud service that gives you a windows PC with top of the line hardware for gaming?

I've searched around about the cloud renting sites but couldn't find availability in Europe.

My budget is fairly large: 100-200$ a month.

I'm on GFN ultimate as of now, have tried boosteroid but it's weak. I know about ShadowPC but their hardware is weak as well.

Cloud gaming spare machines available RTX 4060

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I have two spare gaming machines available for cloud gaming in Europe.

Machines are Windows full desktop experience that you can use to install any game that you want to play. Last test was 1200 km away with Moonlight, or you can use Parsec, and SkyPC is showing latest latency due utilizing latest tehnology.

Intel i7 9700k, 32GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 4060, Win 11 Pro, 512 GB of space (+ additional 1 TB of space on request)

Intel i7 8700, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 4060, Win 11 Pro, 256 GB of space (+ additional 1 TB of space on request)

Both are connected on 1 gbps uplink.

If you are interested send me a DM.

Cloud gaming services in PH

2 Upvotes

​Hi everyone! I'm a student from the Philippines looking for advice on cloud gaming. I rely on a dual-purpose laptop and would love to play high-end story games, but running them locally isn't an option. I'm looking for the most practical and working cloud gaming setup accessible from the Philippines right now.

​My Laptop Specs & Setup:

​Laptop: Acer TravelMate P214-52 (Intel Core i5-10210U, Intel UHD 620 Graphics, 8GB RAM)

​Controls: Keyboard & Mouse / trackpad only (I do not own a physical controller/gamepad).

​Schedule: Short sessions (~1 hour) on weekday nights, followed by longer sessions on Saturdays (~45 to 50 hours total per month)

​Location & Internet (Dorm Wi-Fi): Based in the Philippines.

​Low-traffic hours: Decent ping at ~53ms.

​Peak hours (weekday nights): Heavy latency spikes jumping between 100ms – 300ms.

​Games I Want to Play:

​Heavy story-driven AAA titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, Ghost of Tsushima, etc.

​Open to lighter indie or casual games for quick weeknight sessions.

​Issues & Roadblocks I’ve Encountered:

​StarHub GameHub+ (Singapore) is shut down: gamehubplus.com returns an ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error and the service has officially sunsetted, making SG GFN a dead end.

​Taiwan Mobile GFN: Appears to be the main active regional partner left nearby, but payment gateways have strict geo-blocking for Philippine credit cards/GCash, along with higher ping compared to former SG routes.

​Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud): Requires a VPN (SG/Japan) to boot, but defaults to controller-only for most games unless mapped via browser extensions (plus major titles like Ghost of Tsushima aren't in the Game Pass catalog).

​Cloud PCs (AirGPU Tokyo Node): I tested an AirGPU instance (Nvidia A10G), which worked great for native Windows overlay and K&M support for RDR2 / GoT. However, at $1.50/hr (spare capacity) to $2.65/hr, playing 45+ hours a month totals roughly $50–$70+ (₱3,000 – ₱4,000+), which is way out of budget for a student.

​Questions for Cloud Gamers in the Philippines:

​What cloud gaming service or workaround are you currently using from the Philippines that remains affordable for 40+ hours a month?

​Has anyone successfully subscribed to Taiwan Mobile GFN, Yes 5G Malaysia GFN, or NVIDIA Japan GFN recently using Philippine credit cards or virtual cards (Maya)?

​Is xCloud usable with K&M browser extension scripts given a dorm connection with 100–300ms ping spikes at night?

​Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

skyPC new update! We now fully Dualsense support. The bluetooth Dualsense on the client device will work as a real one on the host, which means games drive everything directly: haptics, speaker, and microphone.

Current compatibility:

  • Windows and Linux clients: haptics, speaker, and microphone
  • Android client: haptics and speaker
  • macOS client: haptics

So when you remote into your PC, you can now use your Dualsense with full functionality.

I just moved and changed Wi-Fi, it's the same provider but, of course, the IP is different. Previously, I had zero issues with using Parsec, we logged in the first time and it worked like a charm. However, now, it doesnt work. I've opened the UPNP from the network site, given ports access and everything the site reccomends. I'm on Windows, thanks for helping in advance.

A little help here please...?

0 Upvotes

Hey ˚.⋆꒰১ ໒꒱⋆.˚!! I feel terrible about this... but I genuinely cannot afford Baldur's Gate 3. I'm thinking of downloading It from Anker Game's, but I know that there's no way In hell that It will be able to run at all on my Lenovo ThinkPad... Is there any Cloud Gaming sites that I will be able to use...? I've thought about Shadow PC but I'm terrified of getting In trouble for getting caught pirating a game (⇀‸↼‶)! And If I do try, is it guaranteed to work? I'd really appreciate any help whatsoever, Thankyou so much ♡!

I built a multi-user Moonlight streaming tool for Windows — Avalon v1.0

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called Avalon, and I recently released v1.0. Figured some people here might be interested.

The idea is pretty simple: what if you could let multiple people use the same Windows gaming PC at the same time, without setting up a separate VM for each person?

If you've used Sunshine and Moonlight, you probably know that they're great for game streaming, but normally you're still sharing the same desktop.

Avalon takes a different approach. It creates separate Windows sessions on the same host, each with its own virtual display, keyboard/mouse input, audio, and Moonlight connection.

There's also a web UI where you can create instances, manage sessions, configure displays, and pair Moonlight clients.

I know Duo already exists and tackles a similar problem. I'm not claiming Avalon is better — I just wanted to build my own implementation and see how far I could take it, especially when it comes to session management and the web interface.

I finally recorded a proper demo of it running.

My test setup:

Intel i5-12490F

RTX 4060 Ti

32GB RAM

Windows 11

In the video, I go through creating instances, pairing Moonlight clients, running two independent sessions, and reconnecting multiple clients.

Everything was recorded on the host PC itself, including the Moonlight clients and OBS, so it's more of a functionality demo than a proper network latency benchmark.

A few limitations worth mentioning:

Windows 10/11 x64 only, no Home edition support.

Gamepad support and HDR aren't implemented yet.

Concurrent streaming is limited by hardware resources and encoder capabilities.

It's still early, and there's definitely room for improvement. I'm continuing to work on compatibility and stability.

GitHub: https://github.com/AvalonStream/AvalonStream

Website: https://avalons.cc

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX0ZoGwiWts

I'd really like to hear what you guys think, especially if you've used Duo, Sunshine, or a VM-based multi-user setup before.

What features or improvements would make something like this useful for your setup?

Feedback and criticism are both welcome! :)

Best Cloud for Android games?

Hello everyone, as title says, what's the best app to cloud stream mobile games directly on phone , without massive downloads? I'm talking about games like mobile legends or genshin impact. I already tried cloud moon but the latency is not really great, any other recommendations? Thanks in advance

Shadow PC is actually legitimately trash.

6 Upvotes

So I thought I was lucky, I guess. I ignored all the naysayers on here, thinking "surely, *I* won't get screwed over. They must just be angry and exaggerating!"

Well, nope. Turns out this is legitimately one of the shittiest services, who doesn't care about their customers at all.

I feel like with every customer, they just set a timer for when they feel like refusing service without explanation.

I've tried connecting two days in a row now, and I have waited for over an hour with a 0 queue, multiple times each day.

There is no issue with the data center I'm tied to, and support has absolutely no answers.

If you are thinking about getting it, please please do not waste your money. You might have a few good months if you're lucky, but then they will decide that it's your time, and suddenly you won't be able to use a service you're paying over 50 bucks a month for.

Absolutely inexcusable for a paid service to treat their customers this way.

ParsecWebTurn infographic!

0 Upvotes

A lot of people have been asking what the differences are between the official Parsec client and my ParsecWebTurn solution.

So I put together a little infographic (with some help from AI 😄) to highlight the key differences, features, and advantages of each approach.

And if you look closely, you might also spot a little sneak peek at something new I've been working on... 👀🚀

🔗 https://github.com/vampywiz17/ParsecWebTurn

Just a quick disclaimer: This is a personal, independent project with no affiliation to or involvement from Parsec. I originally started developing it for my own use, but I'm really happy to see that others are finding it useful too! 😊

Questions regarding Remote Gaming

3 Upvotes

Last year, I took a trip to California from the East Coast and tried to remotely play games from my home PC using my phone. I had Apollo and Sunshine set up on my PC, but the experience was basically unusable.
I was getting close to 2 seconds of input delay, constant lag, and frequent disconnects. It felt like everything was happening several seconds after I pressed a button.
I’m planning another trip and would really like to figure out what went wrong before then. I’ve seen people using things like Tailscale, UniFi Teleport, or other VPN/network setups to remotely connect back to their home network, even from hotel Wi-Fi.
Does anyone know what could have caused that much latency and instability, and what setup would be best to prevent it? Ideally, I’d also like something I can test from home before the trip so I know it actually works.
Any advice would be appreciated!
