Moonlight Game Streaming Description

This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from a PC on your local network or the Internet running NVIDIA GeForce Experience (NVIDIA-only) or Sunshine (all GPUs). Mouse, keyboard, and controller input is sent from your Android device to your PC.

Streaming performance may vary based on your client device and network setup. HDR requires an HDR10-capable device, a GPU that can encode HEVC Main 10, and HDR10-enabled game. Games that use DXGI/OS HDR also require an HDR display connected to your host PC.

Features
• Open-source and completely free (no ads, IAPs, or "Pro")
• Streams games purchased from any store
• Works on your home network or over the Internet/LTE
• Up to 4K 120 FPS HDR streaming with 7.1 surround sound
• H.264, HEVC, and AV1 codec support (AV1 requires Sunshine and a supported host GPU)
• Keyboard and mouse support (best with Android 8.0 or later)
• Stylus/S-Pen support
• Supports PS3/4/5, Xbox 360/One/Series, and Android gamepads
• Force feedback and gamepad motion sensor support (Android 12 or later)
• Local co-op with up to 16 connected controllers (4 with GeForce Experience)
• Mouse control via gamepad by long-pressing Start

Quick Setup Host Instructions for GeForce Experience (NVIDIA-only)

Comments about Moonlight Game Streaming Android Version

It's pretty great. You devs are not only skilled, but also very kind to make this free and open source. I wouldn't mind seeing the touch controls more developed, closer to what windows tablets use (swipe to scroll, long-press to right click, long-press-swipe to click and drag). It's practically perfect already, so the only way I know to improve it is to add more touch controls. At that point, it would be like I sideloaded Win10 on my device.
This app is amazing. I've been using it for years, and it just does it all perfectly. One thing I'd like to see added is a way to type in the bitrate using the system keyboard or an up and down arrow button to help fine tune the bitrate. Manipulating the slider to set it to the desired bitrate can be very difficult.
Excellent app. I have a wireless N router but experience no issues on 5GHz for local or remote. The remote helper tool on PC is awesome as well as it configures firewall automatically to work with remote streaming. Far better quality and less stuttering than the Steam Link app for me. I've been forcing h265 which allows me to go up to 1080p60 at a modest bitrate. My only dislike or suggestion is to add an on-screen keyboard, its so necessary. Using Windows on-screen keyboard as a workaround.
