What CloudDeck is
CloudDeck provides a gaming PC in the cloud and streams games to a user's screen. It starts in a console-style interface and also offers desktop mode for installing mods and changing system settings. Players install games from their own libraries, including Steam, Epic, GOG, and other Linux-compatible launchers. CloudDeck says it supports more than 25,000 games that run on Linux or Proton, although compatibility gaps and anti-cheat restrictions mean some games may not work. Streaming supports up to 1440p at 60 FPS; the Launch plan lists 40 Mbps and sessions of up to six hours. The plan also lists four CPU cores, eight threads, 16 GB RAM, an Nvidia RTX 3060, AMD Radeon RX 6600, or similar graphics, and an SSD starting at 250 GB that can be upgraded to 1 TB. The service uses Moonlight to connect to the hosted machine. CloudDeck recommends at least 10 Mbps for 720p, 20 Mbps for 1080p, or 30 Mbps for 1440p, with Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It is available in Europe, the United States, and Canada. The service costs €19.99/mo, with no free plan or trial.
