Hello everyone! I’ve been considering an alternative way to play games on my TV without needing a console. Since I own a laptop, I thought about linking it directly, but it requires many cables and can cause lag. That’s when I came up with this idea. GeForce Now costs about 5-6 euros a month and lets you play your existing Steam games. It has over 400 titles, so it’s likely you’ll find your favorites there. You could stream it on your smartphone and even use Xbox controllers via a connection. If you have a decent smartphone and a stable Wi-Fi connection, connecting it to a TV should work with minimal delay. I’m curious—would this give you a smooth gaming experience or just a slow one? Share your thoughts!

this might cause a slight delay, making most game positions possible. these issues usually involve some form of DRM, which can prevent the software from working on certain systems. using a laptop with an Xbox controller would help—just ensure your controller supports Bluetooth. controllers from before Xbox didn’t have this feature.
