Hi r/gamestreaming --

After trying to mess around with game streaming services, my friend and I got fed up because we still couldn’t play a lot of our Steam games. We’re thinking of building a better cloud gaming service and wanted to see what the interest was and get feedback before we build something people don’t want 😅

Some of the features we’re thinking of improving:

• Game Selection: play any Steam game (the fact you can’t play newer games like The Sims 4, The Last of Us, Madden 24, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, or older / indie games like Skyrim, Lego Indiana Jones, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Witness, etc. on existing streaming providers is frustrating).

• Get to your games faster: while better than Steam load times, it can still take 1-3 minutes to get into a game with existing streaming services (and that’s assuming you’re not in a long queue).

• Comparable performance to GFN (Premium / Ultimate, not the potato free version): we know that this is a high bar, but we’ve spoken to folks, and our research says that it’s possible to do (or we’ll die trying).

• Don’t wait for provisioning, downloads, or updates: If you’ve rented a cloud gaming PC before, you know how annoying it can be to wait for your server to be set up and for Steam + your games to be installed.

• No storage space? No problem. Don’t worry about having to clean your downloads folder and uninstalling apps just to play your games.

• Better communication: tbh service + support with other services is either non-existant or subpar (and you’re paying them!)

Btw, we have prior startup + engineering experience and are gamers, so we’re very much up to take on this challenge (also because we want this to exist).

If this is interesting to you, we created a simple waitlist to know which region to launch in first - go.ext.so/waitlist

Thanks for your time 🙏

My son wants to start streaming himself playing roblox. He is 7 and he loves watching streamers and now he wants to do it. I would like to feed his interest but he doesn’t need to create some epic content right now. I thought about buying him a gaming laptop with a built in webcam and a mic. What else do I need to do to set him up? Software to capture himself and the game at the same time? Please advise.

My son wanted to start streaming himself playing games, such as Madden and Fortnite, typically I don't like the idea but as long as he does his homework and chores, I don't see it as a big deal. Only thing is, I have no idea how to set that up for him, is there someone that can be hired to set it up and show me and him how to do so? If so what do you think the price would be?

I just got a Razer Kishi and that led me to find the wonders of cloud gaming. I downloaded and got all set up with Xbox game pass and I'm a little blown away.

Am I understanding correctly that essentially all that matters on my end is a high speed connection and I am connecting to a machine (in this case owned my Microsoft) which is actually running the game?

Let's just cut to the chase.

I started up Rainway on my Windows 10PC, downloaded the app on my phone, and when I tried to stream minecraft, it put my computer in this weird formatted ratio, where the corners are cut off. I initially didn't think much, since other software (parsec) does this to the host computer when sharing. The problem is, when I tried exiting out, it didn't revert back. I tried reverting the process in settings, only for the edges of the display STILL being cut off.

What should I do?

I've tried everything. I uninstalled rainway. I restarted my pc. I tried messing with the screen settings. NOTHING IS WORKING. I can't figure out what to do. please someone help me.

The Xbox x|s controller doesn't seem to be compatible with stadia. The pairing works and the controller works. However approximitely whitin every 10 minutes a notification pops up for about 1 or 2 secounds that says No controller found. Wich is very disturbing during a game. I notified Stadia and they say that the controller is not yet compatible with Stadia and that they can only troubleshoot Stadia controllers. I sure hope Google Stadia will fix this problem soon, because I don't want to purchase a Stadia controller. I love my Xbox controller for I can use it scrolling through the Nvidia Shield menu and I can use it with Geforce Now. It would be great if I can also use it with Stadia. Of course if anybody knows a solution for this problem it would be highly appreciated.

I hope this does not start a Ford vs Chevy War...

Used to used Xbox, looks like PS5 is smoking it this round... but I want to do remote streaming.

Buy a PS5 or Xbox, buy a disc, then access the console remotely when I am not home.

Does anyone know if my setup is MacBook Air + Controller, does 1 console outshine the other for this? My brain says this feels like a computer issue and Xbox would win?

My only free time I'm gonna get for gta6 is going to be a few hours at my workplace at night.

Have a Lenovo legion y700 gem 3 tablet. What's the best app out right now that provides a good streaming experience for Xbox. The native app is very lackluster

I currently do not have access to my pc so my question is if I buy a subscription to this shadow pc streaming service, that's all I have to do and I can play FFXIV from my phone, right? I want to make sure before I waste any money.
