What is Moonlight?

Moonlight allows you to play your PC games on almost any device, whether you're in another room or miles away from your gaming rig.

Moonlight (formerly Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. We implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.


You can stream your collection of PC games from your gaming PC to any supported device and play them remotely. Moonlight is perfect for gaming on the go without sacrificing the graphics and game selection available on PC.

The "damsel" wasn't just waiting to be saved anymore; she was part of the crew. However, the shadow of the trope remained—female characters were still frequently sidelined in action sequences or relegated to supporting emotional roles while the men handled the "heavy lifting" of saving the galaxy.
