Why would you use a third party software to remotely play your games when Steam Remote Play exists already? It allows you to play ANY of your Steam games remotely without any sort of extra software besides Steam itself

Not all games are supported for GeForce Now, as some devs, and publishers opt out of this.

GeForce Now is a cloud virtual PC online service, so you're Streaming the game from Nivida servers. I assume OP doing it this way for a reason such as underpowered system.

Thanks for the headsup... I guess I still ignore the fact that there is people buying games they can't run anyways

That makes... no sense.

What exactly are you doing? If you launch "Geforce Now", your local Steam is completely out of the picture. And within your Geforce Now account, games do require an "install" but that doesn't actually download anything, and certainly not to YOUR box.

It's because steam link work only if your PC and Smartphone are connected on the same wifi, right ?

I play from my work not from my house but yeap i can launch steam from GeForce Now for all my STEAM games with controller support like " Destroy all human " my last buyed game.
