If you are not familiar with streaming from your PC to your deck, here is a reminder that it is really helpful especially with very demanding games like Alam Wake 2 to be able to render in 800p or even super sampling it a bit to 1200p and watching it on the new OLED screen at its full high settings and ray tracing glory.

Really hope they add hdr support for streaming soon
Moonlight has hdr support and has much better latency
Yes, but not yet on SteamOS:
https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/1117better latency
technically yeah, but i’m not sure it’s perceptible streaming to a steam deck. moonlight used to have a huge advantage and that’s been mostly eroded to irrelevance. example
That’s a 2021 article, pretty sure Sunshine wasn’t widely used back then, only NVIDIA Gamestream
me too man!!!
Use sunshine+moonlight, it has HDR support. Not sure on SteamDeck but I’ve used HDR on my phone with that setup
For those who couldn’t buy an OLED steam deck and have a gaming pc, just use sunshine and moonlight to stream to your mobile device. If you have a relatively modern android device or an iPhone, that is literally an OLED screen right there. You can stream your games to it and experience HDR OLED that way.
Android is shit when it comes in decoding steam, it will laggy at on s23 ultra, I changed to iPhone a month ago, it is smooth after
I’ve actually been doing this minus the OLED, using 8bitdo pro 2 controller. I call it the 8bitdeck 😅. So far my experience is smooth af with a Redmi note 9 pro Max phone, however occasionally I had internet issues but otherwise it’s pretty great. Steam deck is too costly for me plus they don’t even sell it here officially so the only way I could get it is if I get a bonus
Is moonlight better than gamestream?
Moonlight is the client. Sunshine is a replacement for nvidias gamestream. But yes, it’s better.
If you mean is sunshine/moonlight better than steamlink, then yes x 100
Is there any way to get rid of crushed blacks when streaming with Steam Link?
Not that I have found. Best to use moonlight
so to get 800p you can only achieve by streaming?
Plz dont make me regret buying mine over the summer 😭
Does it stream hdr too? That’s what I’m really curious about.
Does the Steamdeck use little power during streaming?
I stream at 1600p it looks so good
Guys, do you stream via cable or wifi?
Can’t wait to try this
What is your connection speed? Are you using Wifi 5 or 6? What I really wanna know is how much speed do you need for a stable stream from PC?
Looks amazing!
Out of curiosity, how is the game? I’ve been debating grabbing the first and playing through but is it worth the effort to play the second?
I played TOTK on my steam deck the whole campaign using moonlight. 0 input lag and amazing graphics.
can you stream any game/content? that is that that game has controller support
