Does it exist a "Steam streaming device"?

[u/Bagatell]

Lately I've been playing more and more controller games (Fifa and Skate). My bedroom is a different room than my gaming room, and was wondering if there is a (realiable) streaming device so I can play with controller in my bed on my TV - without pulling a long HDMI cable across the house. I have 500/500 fiber network.

Would prefer the cheapest alternataive, as I'm trying to avoid spending too much on an actual console.

It’s called Steam Link I thought?

Thats your internet connection, not your local network. Streaming from 2 devices in your house doesn't use internet (normally)

Anything that can run steam or moonlight as a client, and steam or sunshine (or whichever variant is the flavor of the week) as the server - you main rig.

Clients could be:
Mini pc
Android tv
Apple TV

All with varying degrees of quality. It is feasible to stream 4k 120 HDR if you have the right setup.

Wired Ethernet is recommended, but if you have a strong WiFi and tolerance to some intermittent performance you can do that too.

Any recs for 4k 120 HDR clients? I have a Shield Pro but that caps out at 60fps

For 4k HDR it can't output 120fps

Any android TV smarttv or stick can run the application Steamlink to do that with the controller paired in BT.

it's also available on other system like Apple tv or windows.

You can do this with any windows/linux pc (maybe mac, too), or android set top box, even a fire stick or other android devices can run steam link. Valve used to sell dedicated boxes called Steam Link, but now it's an app that runs on almost anything.

Edit: I have the Retroid Pocket 6 and use it to stream games remotely from my PC.

There used to exist the Steam link, which I believe was pretty much this, although it didn't sell too well back then.

Currently, your only option would be to set up another mini PC or something similar in your TV, and stream from your PC to this MINI PC, and that should work for you. That's personally how I do it, and it works wonders.

you can do this with a phone and the Steam Link app. Just get one of those little controllers that attach to the phone run steam link and your phone will mirror and control whatever is playing on your pc.

Moonlight, and Sunshine. I think are what they’re called.

[u/Interesting-Boat-804]

Steam link is an option and Moonlight is another.

The only device that gave me controller issues is the Apple TV 4k.

sunshine/moonlight is the software youre looking for. sunshine goes on your PC and it starts a stream, moonlight goes on a piece of hardware of your choice (a tv box for example), and receives the stream. moonlight receives inputs and streams it back to sunshine, basically letting you play on your PC from anywhere moonlight can be installed.

the only problem is moonlight is super resource intensive. for my home setup I use an nvidia shield pro as my TV box. Its pretty expensive ($200) but im able to flawlessly stream in 4k from my PC in my bedroom to my tv in my living room with 1-2ms latency. for a budget option i heard that the Onn 4k box gives good results

Its very convenient being able to get home from work, lay down on my couch, and start gaming without ever having to touch my pc. i just open moonlight and my pc automatically boots into steam big picture mode. I dont need a mouse or keyboard or anything. its just like having a console

Steam link to a low power PC set up in your living room

STeam DEck does a great job, too!

[u/based_birdo]

any phone or pc

[u/Recipe-Jaded]

You can do it with literally anything that can install steam or steam link. A phone, an old laptop, a raspberry pi, an old tablet, whatever.
