Nvidia GameStream technology lets you stream games from a GeForce powered Windows PC to another device. As of now, it officially supports NVIDIA’s own Android-based SHIELD devices, but with a third party open-source software called Moonlight which lets you stream games from Nvidia Experience PC to any computer or tablet or smartphone.
There is also another service available for Nvidia devices called the GeForce Now, which allows to stream games from cloud to Nvidia Shield TV. Nvidia GameStream is nothing but streaming the games over the Wi-Fi router which is also called as In-Home Streaming. Steam lets you stream from a Windows PC to another Windows PC, a Mac, a Steam Machine, a Steam Link device, or a Linux PC. So if you’re using one of those platforms, it’s a very good option.

Steps To Stream Games With NVIDIA GameStream to Any Device
- First of all install the Nvidia GeForce Experience in your computer where games are ready to stream.
- Remember, you’ll need an NVIDIA video card for this to work.
-
If you don’t have the GeForce Experience software installed, you’ll need to download it from NVIDIA and install it.
- Then, launch the “GeForce Experience” app from your Start menu.
- Tap on preferences -> SHIELD Category -> Click on "Allow this PC to stream games to SHIELD devices"
- Now go to computer or device where you want to stream the games.
- There install the Moonlight software.
- After installing Moonlight, open the app and it should automatically detect your GameStream-enabled PC if both the device and your PC are on the same local network. In Moonlight, select your PC in the list and click or tap “Pair” to pair Moonlight with your gaming PC.
- The Moonlight app will give you a PIN. Enter it in the “SHIELD is requesting to connect” pop-up that appears on your PC and your devices will be paired.
- Now you can stream the games over the network.
