Moonlight Game Streaming Client 6.1.0.0, released by the Moonlight Game Streaming Project as the nineteenth iteration of the software, is an open-source Remote Play/Game Streaming application that enables users to launch and control their entire NVIDIA GameStream-enabled PC game library from virtually any local or remote Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ChromeOS, or Steam Link device. Leveraging NVIDIA’s proprietary GameStream protocol originally built for Shield devices, the client pairs securely with GeForce Experience or modern NVIDIA drivers on the host computer, then transmits up-to-4K HDR 120 fps video with 7.1 surround sound while relaying low-latency mouse, keyboard, controller, or touchscreen input back to the host, effectively turning laptops, tablets, phones, and low-end TVs into high-end gaming terminals without moving bulky hardware. Typical use cases include continuing a desktop campaign on a bedroom ultrabook, hosting local multiplayer sessions by streaming to a big-screen TV, accessing a powerful rig from campus or work over a VPN, or running maintenance-free gaming kiosks in another room; the session also supports hardware-accelerated encoding and custom bit-rates so that wired Gigabit, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, or even 5G connections can be tuned for smooth 60 fps play. Because the stream is simply a mirror of the host GPU, gamers retain full compatibility with Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox PC Game Pass, emulators, and productivity software alike, while additional Moonlight features such as multi-controller pairing, on-screen keypad overlays, and cloud save synchronization extend usability beyond straight gameplay. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
