This streaming seems different from PS now on PS4 and Xbox xCloud (Which is coming to PC in 2021)

Am I right in thinking it only lets you stream the games you actually own in your steam or other digital store account? So your steam account connects to the virtual machine.

It does give impression on website you can play ALL those games for just a £5 too good to be true!

I got a bit excited seeing all those juicy Ubisoft titles!

Guess I'll sign up for the free 1 hour session limit account to test first.

@PeterN_UK Also if trying go into graphics put it to custom with 1080p and vsync on, the competitive setting is only 720p and bad looking but very responsive.

Mate this is incredible.
Wow so easy to setup account and connected to my steam account.
Steam Profile and Game Details on Steam had to be set public to allow sync to happen. Sync failed a few times but kept clicking and it worked.
There is a 5 min wait time, seemed longer on last min so it is just estimate. So yea have to pay £5 monthly for immediate it seems.
Loaded up Hitman Absolution as an old Steam title I owned. Asked me to login FML won't let me copy my password from lastpass to virtual machine, so had to type in massive 25 character password manually.
Took 5 secs to install the game then launched. Put it on 1920x1200 which is my native monitor res with ULTRA settings.
It looks amazing! Hell latency is hardly noticeable.
The GeForce app uses like only 4% CPU

  @PeterN_UK Yeah it's awesome, my pc is extremely noisy and runs at over 90% in both cpu and gpu for steady 60fps and lowish settings, this thing you can't even hear it and runs way better than local, not even had a stutter in 10+ games of apex but am Hardwired with high speeds.

    Just played few games of Apex with a Rank 1 account. The difference is certainly night and day compared to consoles.
    
    You know this got me thinking whether I should just cancel my PS5 preorder altogether. Then there is the thought of putting up with PC cheating. Still divided now....
