Steam Link Mobile via the cloud
Is there any way you can make Steam Link Mobile run games in the cloud without having to have a PC, not everyone has a PC to keep the game running in the background

As long as you are paying for it yourself. This not something that can be free, the monthly costs behind it are a lot. Also hope you enjoy laggy games even if you have a super fast internet.

Watched something before where they were testing a cloud gaming service, on a fiber optic connection just down the street from the data center and the people said the lag was noticeable. So imagine on a home internet connection, when someone is also watching a streaming show or youtube and you are hundreds or even 1000+miles from the data center....

Go try GeforceNow and see how well you like it, from what I have heard they are the best and even they suck if you don't have a very expensive internet connection and don't bother with games that require quick reactions.

I doubt Valve will ever get into this, its just not worth the money. In my books Cloud gaming is at least 20 years too early just because of the kind of internet connection you need.

Also hope you don't have a data capped service cause you will quickly get that cap if you do anything other than just game on it 1 or 2 hours a day.
