Play online games on your office PC and watch them on the living room TV.
Hi everyone. I’m sure this forum is the right place for this discussion. I’ll soon be moving into a new apartment and want to set up my gaming PC nicely, especially for playing games with a controller on my living room PC. I’d love some tips on the best way to do this. My PC will be in a smaller room next to my living room, roughly 10-15 meters from the TV. I’ve tried using the Steam Link app before—it was very unstable, and the Bluetooth controller struggled to connect. I’ve thought about setting up a displayPort or USB hub, but it doesn’t seem ideal. Someone suggested using an Ethernet cable, which I’ve heard might work. I also learned about a NVIDIA device that could help, but I’m not very familiar with it. Thanks for any advice!
You can log in to Steam from both devices and it instantly transfers game streaming between them, requiring no additional devices or programs. For the controller, connect it to your living room PC rather than the host machine. I tested it and everything functions perfectly—streaming MSFS from my Linux desktop (with Proton running) to my Windows laptop. As long as the games are installed on the host, just sign in with the same Steam account on the client device and the game appears ready to play. It should work as long as both are connected to the same local network.
