# Moonlight Android
|
||
|
||
[Moonlight](https://moonlight-stream.org) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield.
|
||
We reverse engineered the Shield streaming software and created a version that can be run on any Android device.
|
||
|
||
Moonlight will allow you to stream your full collection of games from your Windows PC to your Android device,
|
||
whether in your own home or over the internet.
|
||
|
||
