Sunshine streams the machine's screen with hardware encoding to the Moonlight app on your device. You build a private cloud gaming setup and pay only for the hours you actually play or work.
Sunshine turns the instance into a cloud gaming host: streams games and desktop using the GPU's HARDWARE encoder (H.264/HEVC/AV1) to the Moonlight client on your device. Setup configures the driver, a virtual display on the GPU and virtual input devices (keyboard, mouse and gamepad), and REBOOTS the machine once at the end — Cloud Gaming comes back up on its own ~1 min later. Config and pairing UI on port 47990. Before you buy: fast-reaction games suffer from the distance to the server (remote desktop, slower-paced games, emulation and rendering work well); kernel-level anti-cheat (e.g. Valorant) blocks cloud/VM; games run via Steam/Proton on Linux.
What it is for
- Play a demanding title on a weak machine, over the network
- Remote 3D workstation with real acceleration
- Demo graphics software without shipping hardware
- You choose what to install — no closed catalog
How to deploy
- Create your account and add balance (card or Pix, no subscription).
- In the console, pick the Sunshine (Cloud Gaming) template and a machine — the console hides the ones that do not meet the requirement.
- In about 20 minutes the setup finishes and the access address shows up in the panel, on port 47990.
Done? Just destroy the machine and billing stops with it. No contract, no minimum commitment.
FAQ
Does any GPU work?
No. You need a card with a hardware video encoder. Compute cards of 80 GB and above do not have one, and the console blocks that combination before charging you.
Does it work with anti-cheat games?
Kernel-level anti-cheat usually blocks cloud and virtual machines. Check the title first.
Is the latency good?
It depends on your connection and the distance to the chosen region. Pick the region closest to you in the console.
