The important thing here is that the game does not need to be a Steam game even though we will use Steam Remote Play for streaming.īuying it on Steam will make the process a little easier though. If you buy it, I recommend getting it on GOG, because games are DRM-free there (they work without internet connection and stay working even if GOG goes bankrupt). I chose Divinity Original Sin 2 for this article because that’s what I am playing right now and because I wanted to demonstrate that this even works with games that are not native to Linux (although I usually don’t buy games that don’t have native versions). Note that it needs to be able to encode the video-stream at the same time as rendering the game which means the requirements are even higher than usual.īut of course all of this also depends on the exact games that you are playing and which resolution you want to stream. Since the host needs to render the game, it needs decent hardware. we need to be able to play the game, use the controllers etc. The “host” is the computer that renders the game, in my case the desktop computer.īefore attempting to stream anything, we need to make sure that everything works on the host, i.e. it also does not solve all of the problems mentioned above. convergence of different devices.Īlso this setup includes using various non-free software components, i.e. This has become to old (and noisy) to play current games, so instead I want stream the game from my own desktop computer in a different room.ĭisclaimer: It should be noted that this “only” provides feature 2.
