# Moonlight PC

[Moonlight PC](http://moonlight-stream.com) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This client is the successor to [Moonlight Chrome](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-chrome) for streaming on PC.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) and  [iOS](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios).

See the [releases page](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases) for download links for Windows and Mac. For Linux, we're on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.moonlight_stream.Moonlight).
