What players say<br>Real reviews from players in our Discord community.

I can download almost all the Steam games I want to play, and GeForce Now doesn&rsquo;t allow that. There&rsquo;s no hourly limit, I run my games at high-end settings, and I can install mods. The connection over Moonlight is great, and the value is wonderful. You get your own PC.<br>4.5/5

Very satisfied. I&rsquo;m planning to subscribe permanently instead of buying my own gaming PC, and it cuts down on electronic waste too.<br>15/10

I can play my dream games and I get more FPS than on my Mac. The controller just works. Overall great and worth buying.<br>9/10

I wasn&rsquo;t able to play the games I really wanted because of my PC, but CloudDeck saved me. I 100% recommend it.<br>10/10

Amazing price, and I can play so many games I otherwise wouldn&rsquo;t be able to.<br>8/10

I tried Dark Souls for the first time on CloudDeck and it was a great experience. Seamless here in Switzerland, and really everything I expected from an alternative to GeForce Now.

Pricing<br>Your CloudDeck comes with powerful hardware at an affordable price for a truly enjoyable cloud gaming experience.

FAQ

What are the requirements for using CloudDeck?<br>You should have a broadband home internet connection with at least 10 Mbps download speed for playing at 720p, 20 Mbps for playing at 1080p, and at least 30 Mbps for playing at 1440p. Your client device should be connected to your router via an ethernet cable or at least 5Ghz Wi-Fi and run one of the following operating systems: Windows 7+, macOS 10.13+, Linux, Android 4.1+ or ChromeOS.

Do you offer a free trial?<br>We don't offer a free trial. However, if you're not happy with your experience and have used the service for less than 4 hours, we're happy to issue a refund.

Which games are supported?<br>You can play more than 25,000 games that run on Linux or Proton, from Steam, Epic, GOG and other launchers. Some games do not run on Linux or Proton, and some anti-cheat systems block cloud machines, so CloudDeck works best for single-player games and non-competitive multiplayer titles. You can check a specific game here: CloudDeck Help - Games

Do I have to own the games I want to play?<br>Yes, you'll have to own the games you want to play on Steam, Epic, GOG or another Linux-compatible launcher.

Where is CloudDeck available?<br>CloudDeck is available across Europe, the United States, and Canada. We run five server locations: Amsterdam and Frankfurt in Europe, and Charlotte, Detroit, and San Jose in North America.

Does it matter how far I live from your servers?<br>Yes. Streaming latency depends on how far you are from our servers, so CloudDeck works best when you're close to one of our locations. For now, signups are limited to the regions we cover.
