The Steam Link app on Android is better than ever, and it's completely changed my relationship with gaming in 2025.

    I’ve been pretty happy with Moonlight/Sunshine. Streaming via Steam was my go-to method for a while but I kept having too many little issues, from lagging to bad video corruption, that just made it a hassle.

    I use steam link and PlayStation remote on my phone play great apps in general. I prefer the PlayStation app though honestly.

      For couch gaming, the discontinued Steam Link hardware is still king IMHO. I tried switching to the Android app on my smart TV and have had nothing but trouble with connection quality (even over a gigabit wired connection) and maintaining 4 controllers connected to the TV at once. It seems extremely sensitive to host hardware and software issues, which often change underneath you with TV updates. The Android hardware and software it runs on is just too variable to ensure a consistent reliable experience, and Bluetooth controller support is often hit or miss.

      The Steam Link hardware was amazing as it did exactly what it needed to do, and most importantly was tested more thoroughly than the thousands of Android devices that all have their own quirks and specs. I hope they bring it back.

      Once I enabled ps4 remote play and opened the ports so I could play over the internet.

      I knew it would be garbage, but just for fun. My friends were shocked to see final fantasy Xv creep along on my phone.

        It works pretty good these days for me atleast. I can play some pretty high speed games over the network. Before Warframe mobile came out I was playing Warframe. I’ve even dabbled a little bit in street fighter.

    I wish they would fix Wayland support. The bug ticket for it has been open for ages.
