Moonlight Native

Moonlight Native is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built to run natively.

Moonlight allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Chrome OS.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for Android and iOS.

Features

  • Streams Steam Big Picture and all of your games from your PC to your computer
  • Keyboard and mouse support
  • Hardware-accelerated video decoding
  • Full support for Xbox controllers and PlayStation controllers, and some other HID gamepads
  • Use mDNS to scan for compatible GeForce Experience (GFE) machines on the network

Features to come

  • Gamepad mapping
  • Improved UI
  • Better error handling
