Q: Can I play in 4K HDR with full color accuracy?

Remio streams standard color over hardware H.265 (H.264 fallback), crisp on Liquid Retina XDR, OLED iPads, and modern Android panels. HDR comes from a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC with an HDR display and a GPU that can hardware-encode H.265 Main10, to a device with an HDR screen — it is off by default, so turn it on in the stream settings. True 4:4:4 color for razor-sharp HUD text and menu glyphs is now live — Macs and NVIDIA- or Intel-powered PCs streaming to Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad, more pairs on the way.

Q: Which GPU brands does Remio support on the host?

Remio uses hardware encoders on NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF, Intel QuickSync, and Apple Silicon VideoToolbox. There is no vendor lock-in. Moonlight requires NVIDIA, Parsec requires NVIDIA or AMD, and Steam Link runs through Steam. Remio runs on whatever GPU is already in the machine.

Q: Do my games launch from Steam, Epic, and GOG without configuration?

Yes. Remio streams the whole desktop session, so Steam Big Picture, the Epic Games launcher, GOG Galaxy, Battle.net, Riot Client, and Xbox PC App all behave exactly as they do at the host. There is no per-game allowlist and no separate streaming service to register.

A wired LAN puts Remio at about 8 ms of processing latency on an M2 Pro client — your input lands before the next frame draws. Every title runs buttery smooth, up to 6K at 120 FPS. No account, no vendor lock, no per-seat license.

✦On the couch

Your rig runs the game. Your phone plays it.

Remio streams the whole Windows desktop — Steam Big Picture, the launcher, the game — to the screen in your hands. The GPU heat stays in the other room; the controller in your lap feels wired to the PC. Game mode — one switch sets up a session for playing: the highest frame rate your screen shows. Remio remembers it for each computer.

One pairing. Every store, every launcher.

Figures assume a wired 2.5 GbE link to the host and a clean Wi-Fi 6E channel for the iPad client — measured internally. Across the public internet, latency tracks your route — Remio steps down to standard color and adjusts bitrate without dropping the session.

Controllers, color, and the network path — the parts that make a stream feel local or feel remote.

Your controller shows up on the PC as a real Xbox 360 or DualShock 4

Bluetooth pair a PS5 DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, 8BitDo Pro 2 or any MFi controller. On a Windows or Linux computer, up to four controllers show up as real Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 controllers, each in its own player slot, with rumble coming back to your hands — and a PlayStation controller connected to an iPhone, iPad or Mac also passes its motion sensors, touchpad and light bar (on Apple TV: motion and light bar), with a current Remio Host. On a Mac, a controller is mapped to keys and mouse instead: one player, no rumble. With Remio Pro, plug a controller, wheel or flight stick into the Mac or Windows PC you connect from, and games on the Windows PC or Linux computer you're controlling see the real device.

Hardware H.265, crisp on every panel

Hardware H.265, with H.264 fallback, over a direct device-to-device link to Liquid Retina XDR on iPad Pro, OLED iPads, and modern Android panels. HDR comes from a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC with an HDR display and a GPU that can hardware-encode H.265 Main10, to a device with an HDR screen; turn it on in the stream settings. True 4:4:4 color for razor-sharp HUD text is now live — Macs and NVIDIA- or Intel-powered PCs streaming to Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad, more pairs on the way.

Encoder reacts to lag and packet loss in real time

Remio watches your connection and adapts to it. Walk from the office to the kitchen and the stream lowers its bitrate a notch, then recovers — it does not stutter. A lost packet is re-sent straight away if it can still arrive in time; if it can't, Remio skips it and asks for a fresh frame instead of waiting.

NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon — pick whichever is in the box

The host uses the hardware video encoder on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, or Apple Silicon. There is no vendor allow-list. A Mac Studio streams through Apple's encoder; a Ryzen plus Radeon PC through AMD's. You do not buy a different GPU to use Remio.

Every store, every launcher, without configuration

Remio streams the whole desktop session — there is no per-game allowlist and no separate streaming service to register.

Steam, Big Picture, Steam Input

Big Picture launches as it does locally. Steam Input rebinds your controller to whatever layout the title expects. Cloud saves sync. Workshop installs work the same way.

Epic, GOG Galaxy, Battle.net

Free weekly Epic launches stream the same as paid titles. GOG Galaxy and Battle.net both deliver their full library, including Diablo IV and Call of Duty, without a separate streaming permission.

Xbox PC App and Game Pass

Game Pass titles installed locally on the host stream through Remio. Forza Horizon 5, Starfield, and Halo Infinite render at the host GPU's native quality, then encode for the client over the existing session.

Riot Client and anti-cheat

Valorant and League of Legends run through Vanguard and the Riot anti-cheat exactly as they do locally. Remio is not a virtualization layer, so kernel-level anti-cheat sees a normal session.

✦Questions

The things gamers ask first

Will my games run at 144 Hz over Remio?

Yes, on the Mac and Windows apps. With a display faster than 120 Hz, pick up to 240 fps on the Max frame rate slider — your computer needs to support it and run the latest Remio Host, and if it can't keep up the frame rate steps down on its own. Game mode asks for the highest frame rate your screen shows in one tap. On iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple TV, Remio goes up to 120 fps. Even at 4K it stays a buttery 120 FPS, whether you're in competitive shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant or AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3. On a wired LAN that arrives with about 8 ms of processing latency, measured internally — your input lands before the next frame draws.

Can I play PC games on iPad with Remio?

Yes. Remio streams Windows or Mac games to iPad up to 6K at 120 FPS with about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN (the rest is your display's own 60 Hz refresh cadence), hardware H.265 decode (H.264 fallback) on M-series iPads, MFi controller support, and a touch overlay for games without controller support. Audio stays in sync with the on-screen action.

What gamepads work with Remio?

Any controller your client device can pair over Bluetooth or USB: MFi-certified controllers, Xbox Wireless Controller, Sony DualSense (PS5), Sony DualShock 4 (PS4), 8BitDo Pro 2 / Ultimate, Razer Kishi and more. Controllers pair to the client device and Remio sends their input to the computer. On a Windows or Linux computer, up to four controllers show up as real Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 controllers, each in its own player slot, with rumble. A DualShock 4 or DualSense connected to an iPhone, iPad or Mac also passes motion sensors, touchpad and light bar to the game (Apple TV: motion and light bar), with a current Remio Host. On a Mac, a controller is mapped to keys and mouse — one player, no rumble. Playing with a controller is free; the gamepad builder (remap, layouts, per-game profiles) is Remio Pro.

How does Remio's gaming latency compare to Parsec, Moonlight, and Steam Link?

On a LAN at a buttery 120 FPS, Remio adds about 8 ms of processing latency, measured internally — your input lands before the next frame draws. Moonlight needs an NVIDIA GPU and a self-hosted Sunshine setup; Steam Link only streams your Steam library. Remio runs on any GPU, any launcher, with nothing to configure beyond pairing.

Does Remio support 120 FPS gaming on 120Hz displays?

Remio streams up to 6K at 120 FPS, rendered silky-smooth on ProMotion iPad displays and 120Hz Mac panels. True 4:4:4 color is now live from Macs and NVIDIA or recent Intel PCs to Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad — both free, on the free plan.

Plug in a controller. Pair in 30 seconds.

Install Remio on the gaming PC and on the iPad, Mac, or Android device you want to play from. Scan the QR code or type the Device ID and PIN once — the two devices stay paired.
