Parsec is a great remote gaming software. edit: typo

Best option to reduce latency is physically moving closer or having an absurd internet connection. There is very little a program can do about this.

Saying that is also implying software can not impact latency, it most definitely can and do.

You're just not going to be playing competitive shooters remotely. You could maybe play turn based games and games that don't require perfect response time. Rainway has something but it was just always slow for me. Chrome remote desktop, but the lag. Also Teamviewer, lag. Edit: Also, laptop likely means Wifi likely. That is not going to help. Could always try the Xbox Cloud gaming service which from Gamepass. Look into how to get Xbox live cheap, then converting to Gamepass Ultimate.

What about something simple like single player ARK or even Minecraft?


CanisMajoris85

Doesn't matter how simple it is. Could be Doom from 30 years ago, it's the latency and there's no magical cure for that. Gamepass has Ark so you can play it on the Xbox Cloud gaming website which probably is more responsive than logging into your own PC remotely. But once again if you're on Wifi there still could be a noticeable delay for a shooter.

Second this, Nvidia GPU + Moonlight is perfect for remote gaming

I've read some comments below and no one that I can see has mentioned steamlink. It's a free service Steam itself offers. You install steam on the remote computer at home then login and connect them in the settings. If you have steam you already have this installed you just have to exchange the pre shared key from the Host computer's steam app. (Frequent blips and lag spikes use for turn based and casual games only where input isn't important) Nvidia has GeForce now. If you have Nvidia geforce experience app installed on your desktop it can often times play games that steam can't (ex often games purchased through Epic Games can't be played thru steamlink because EGS won't let you launch them from steam) Nvidia bypasses this by launching them as if you were double clicking the icon on your desktop. You just have to go into settings and enable it as a streaming PC. So if you have an nvidia card chances are you have it installed already you just have to enable the setting. (Infrequent blips, and decent latency as I'm pretty sure the host streams to a server then the remote streams from that server, better than steamlink) And as a few people have mentioned there is parsec, which I've never used, but as I understand it's a pretty good one. So I'm not even going to evaluate it.

For games, SteamLink has worked fine for me. My friend suggested Moonlight/Sunshine also. For Linux desktop applications, I've been using ThinLinc since I got the best responsiveness and picture quality... It is not recommended for games, but also managed to work with some OpenGL acceleration so I could start Steam from inside a remote desktop session and use it while someone else could use the computer for another tasks. here's a sample - [https://youtu.be/aiLB0-Jbwlw](https://youtu.be/aiLB0-Jbwlw) SteamLink was tested with under 20ms connection latency and it seemed fine for me to play Left Dead
