moonlight6.2.0

Moonlight streams games and other applications from a separate PC running Sunshine or GeForce Experience, allowing you to play remotely or interact with a hosted desktop. It combines streamed video, audio playback, and input handling in one client, keeping remote sessions interactive rather than limiting them to viewing. It suits players accessing their games from another machine, as well as people using remote desktop sessions or streamed applications.

Hardware-accelerated video decoding is available through VAAPI, VDPAU, and NVDEC, with support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 streams. Audio output can deliver 7.1 surround sound. The client accepts 10-point multitouch input and gamepads with force feedback for as many as 16 players. Pointer capture is available for games, while remote desktop use supports direct mouse control and forwarding system-wide keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab to the host.

The open-source version 6.2.0 is published by Maximiliano Bertacchini in the Video & Media Players category. It requires Linux with snapd and is built for x86_64 (amd64) systems; the computer providing the stream must run Sunshine or GeForce Experience.
