The gaming industry has found yet another new way to enable you to play games from your powerful PC on other devices … only this time, all you need is the Google Chrome browser.
- Apr 18, 2019 Streaming games from remote internet servers could be the future of the video game industry — or part of that future, anyhow. If you’d like to try streaming games to your PC, Mac, PS4,.
- You can stream any almost any game or app by adding the EXE file to GFE manually (if it's not found by the automatic app scan). Open GeForce Experience, click the Settings (gear) button, click SHIELD on the sidebar, then click the Add button on the right. Browse to the app or file you want to add and click OK.
Nvidia’s GeForce Experience app, which enables a ton of extras for its GTX graphics cards, is testing a new feature that enables you to share your games with friends over the Internet. This capability works by streaming a game on your system over the Web to any Chrome browser. If your buddy wants to try the latest new release but has a PC with older hardware — or even a Mac — you can invite them over email, and they can start playing immediately.
Jul 05, 2017 Steam lets you stream from a Windows PC to another Windows PC, a Mac, a Steam Machine, a Steam Link device, or a Linux PC. So if you’re using one of those platforms, it’s a very good option. However, there’s no way to stream from Steam to an iOS or Android-based device, which Moonlight/GameStream can do.
This Nvidia functionality even works with co-op experiences. You and your friend or family member can both play simultaneously for two-player games. The only limits are that only one person can stream at a time, and the sessions are limited to an hour. But you can do as many sessions as you want.

If you have a GTX GPU, here’s how to do this:
Nvidia Stream Games
- Download and install the beta version of the GeForce Experience here.
- Boot up the app, and click the arrow on the “Share” button on the top right.
- Enable sharing.
- Launch the game you want to share, hit Alt + Z to bring up the in-game Share menu.
- Hover over the “Stream” option.
- Then click on “Send invite.”
- Pop in the email address of the friend you want to invite, then hit send.
From here, the invitee will have to go into their email to accept the invite and go through a process of installing a particular Chrome plugin. But that’s it — once installed, Chrome should broadcast the video without issue.
Keep in mind that this kind of streaming will require a decent Internet connection, and you’ll probably experience lag if one or both people don’t have the bandwidth.
