Using Moonlight on your Steam Deck is a cool way to stream games from your PC to the handheld, making your game library even more portable! First, make sure you have a gaming PC with Nvidia GeForce Experience installed, since Moonlight needs that to work. On your Steam Deck, go into Desktop Mode and download the Moonlight app from the Discover Software Center. After installing, run Moonlight, pair it with your Nvidia-powered gaming PC by entering the code shown on your PC screen, and voila! You can start streaming your PC games directly to your Steam Deck.
Honestly, why bother with Moonlight when the Steam Deck's library is massive? Just enjoy the native games!
I've been using Moonlight on my Steam Deck for a while, and it's game-changing! The key is a strong Wi-Fi connection; without it, you might as well go back to playing directly on the PC. Once you set up Moonlight and sync it with your Nvidia PC, the performance is pretty smooth. Definitely worth setting up if you don't want to be chained to your desk.
