Gwoli ścisłości, streamowanie było wbudowane w GeForce Experience, które zostało zastąpione przez NVIDIA App, która to nie miała tej funkcjonalności zaimplementowanej. Oczywiście przez to, że nie mieli czasu. ;)
I nie ma jej dodanej od 2 lat.
I nie będzie.
NVIDIA gave you free game streaming for 10 years.
It was called GameStream. Built into GeForce Experience. You streamed any game from your PC to your TV, your phone, your tablet. No subscription. No cap. It just worked.
Then on March 29, 2023, NVIDIA force-deleted it.
A mandatory Shield TV update removed the feature off devices customers had already paid for. A class action lawsuit was filed three weeks later.
NVIDIA then pushed those same customers toward GeForce NOW at $9.99 to $19.99 a month. In January 2026, they added a 100-hour monthly cap.
Coincidence.
The community did not wait.
They reverse-engineered the GameStream protocol. Built an open source server from scratch. Made it work on NVIDIA GPUs. Then AMD. Then Intel.
NVIDIA's free tool only worked on NVIDIA hardware. The community's free tool works on everyone's hardware.
It is called Sunshine. 37,835 stars on GitHub. GPL-3.0.
Built by the LizardByte team. Lead by ReenigneArcher with 1,001 commits. Pushed to GitHub today, June 10, 2026.
What it does:
Stream any game from your PC to any Moonlight client. Phone, tablet, TV, laptop, another PC.
4K resolution at 120 frames per second with HDR.
H.264, HEVC, and AV1 encoding. Hardware accelerated.
NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs.
Controller emulation for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch Pro.
Web UI for setup and pairing.
Unlimited sessions. No cap. No timer.
Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD.
Local network or over the internet with UPnP or Tailscale.
Now compare the math.
GeForce NOW Performance: $9.99 a month. NVIDIA hardware only. 100-hour monthly cap.
GeForce NOW Ultimate: $19.99 a month. $239.88 a year. NVIDIA hardware only. 100-hour monthly cap.
Sunshine: $0. Forever. NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. No cap. No timer.
Ars Technica wrote the obituary in April 2023: "NVIDIA's GameStream is dead. Sunshine and Moonlight are better replacements."
NVIDIA took away a free product. The community gave it back. Better. On more hardware.
But DO NOT install Sunshine. We should all keep paying NVIDIA $20 a month for what used to be free.
100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)
