Have you ever wondered if it is possible to play PC games on your Android device without streaming? If so, you are not alone. Many people have searched for ways to do this, and they have been met with clickbait videos claiming that you can play any game on your phone without a computer. However, these claims are not true.
But the good news is that there is a way to stream games to your phone that you can actually play with just your phone and nothing else. In this blog post, we will show you how to do it using one free application and your computer.
The first thing you need to do is download an application called Moonlight Game Streaming. It is available on the Play Store, and the link to it will be provided in the description below. Once you have installed the application, there are a few prerequisites that you need to make sure you have.
Firstly, you need to make sure that your computer is running on an Nvidia-based graphics card. This means that you need either a GPU which has GTX GeForce or RT X GeForce graphics card. Once you have that, you need to make sure that Game Stream is switched on in your GeForce Experience settings.
GeForce Experience is a software from Nvidia itself that you can install for free on your computer. Once you have installed it, all you have to do is go to the settings, then the shield section, and make sure that the Game Stream option is switched on.
After that, open the Moonlight Game Streaming application, and your PC will be recognized as long as they are on the same Wi-Fi network or in the same local area network. Once that is done, you can connect to your PC using a pin code that will be shown on your computer, and you have to enter that on your phone.
Once that is done, you can play any game that is installed on your computer directly from your phone. You can configure the resolution of the game, the framerate, and the bitrate in the settings of the application. If you are getting a lot of latency, you can reduce the bitrate, but the game won’t look that good.
However, if you are using a wired Ethernet connection, there will be absolutely little to no latency, which sounds incredible. You can even connect a wireless controller, a keyboard, or a mouse to your phone or turn on the on-screen controller on your phone to play a game directly on your phone without touching your computer.
Of course, you still need a computer for this process to take place, but the fact that something like this is actually possible is mind-blowing. It is completely legit, and you can try it out during this quarantine period. Download the application and let us know how it went for you.
In conclusion, playing PC games on your Android device without streaming is possible. You just need to download the Moonlight Game Streaming application, make sure you have an Nvidia-based graphics card, and switch on Game Stream in your GeForce Experience settings. Once that is done, you are good to go. Enjoy playing your favorite games on your phone!
