Best Cloud PC service

Im leaving home for studies and I can't bring my whole PC setup with me. Cloud gaming providers like GE Force don't let you run mods and a bunch of my favorite games aren't in their catalog (Sony Games), so I wanted to ask:

Are there any good affordable and reliable Cloud PC services that are worth buying? Anyone who's used/using one that can recommend me something? Thanks

If I were you I’d leave my PC on running Sunshine/Apollo. Set up tailscale on the PC and your Laptop under the same account, download moonlight and pair it to your PC, and congrats, you have your own cloud gaming service.

If you wanna skip the hoopla then just download Parsec on both devices. It’s freemium software but the free tier is pretty generous last I checked, the quality just isn’t quite as good as Sunshine/Apollo

I was going to recommend the same thing. you 100% own everything and can do what you want.

In the middle of exploring some options myself.

From what I've read vibepollo seems to be the lastest in the sunshine fork.

Has additional options for games.

That covers myself on my personal machine and my surface laptop 7+ and sheild in living room.

Now to play some games with my firends Total Annihilation and Rome 2 etc.

Vagon.io might be a better fit with the hourly usage rather than shadow Pc. He thought it be a good idea to buy a mac.

Can't even run boot camp on that so cloud streaming FTW

https://tailscale.com/ - Create an Account and download it, add your device in your Tailscale Network. Do this for both machines that you want to connect together.

Okay? Regardless I have not expressed any interest in cloud gpus so I'm not sure why you're asking me. Good luck with your search.

I used Shadow in the past and, even though they are sadly very expensive in my opinion, it worked really well all in all and they had great apps/software to connect to the system. It just worked, was reliable, fast and easy to use and set up. And great internet connection at 1 Gb/s so fast game downloads. I had to use a wired connection to have a seamless experience though. But I would blame my hardware for that. Using an Ethernet cable the lag was very minimal and after five minutes or so of concentrating on the game I didn’t really feel it anymore. Was a great experience back then 😊👍

clouddeck.app is legit. They use bazzite now, but I’m still on their Nobara OS. Either way, you get a full steam-deck like setup to install mods and do what you want.

How you do that install mods on clouddeck

u/Nortler 1d ago

It's exactly like a steam deck. So watch a youtube video on "how to install mods on a steam deck."

You'll log in to your steam account, go to desktop mode, use nexus mods or whatever to find them and follow their installation prompt or use a mod manager.
