Can steam deck be used as Nvidia Shield to stream from PC to Deck?

[v00d00m4n]

i used to have Nvidia shield portable and loved to play my PC games when i was at kitchen, bath and even toilet.

Then i set up virtual lan tunnel via internet to let me stream my games from home PC even when i was outside of home and had some decent Wifi connection - and it also worked like charm way before Nvidia Now was launched.

Now i wonder if i can do that thing with steam deck and not just run games natively on it, but all stream my games from PC right to it both in local network and via Internet?

Yes. Valve added official remote streaming support to In Home Streaming and now call Steam Streaming - Steam Link Anywhere.



Steam Deck already has Steam for linux client preinstalled so you do not need to install Steam Link app to Steam Deck as Steam Link Anywhere also works from Steam client to Steam client.


EDIT: Steam Link Anywhere really uses Steam Remote Play (not to be confused with Steam Remote Play Together).

Point is Steam In Home Streaming had official support for remote streaming added about two years ago. So Steam streaming is no longer called Steam In Home Streaming.
We could also use Chrome browser to access GeForce Now or Edge browser for Xcloud to stream Steam and non Steam games on Steam Deck using third party cloud gaming services.

Ask yourself the following question: why exactly should Valve RESTRICT functionaliy already available in the Steam link app and the desktop Steam client? Save for additional effort to restrict already available functionality, what's there to gain?
Right, nothing. That's why Steam Deck will run the same streaming modes, as the Steam desktop client and the Steam Link app.
