    Happy to be wrong, but the audience of people who want to play console/PC games streamed to their phone has to still be super small.

    The only way this makes any sense to me is if the long rumoured Xbox handheld will also take advantage of this or they make some deal with Valve to have this natively on Steam decks. And even then, the audience who owns a steam deck and wants to stream games to it instead of downloading them has to be small.

      I already stream my XBox and PS5 to my steam deck for comfy gaming instead of deskbound gaming.

      This will allow me to not even have to have the XBox powered on. Seems like it could be useful at least until my stacked GamePass runs out in a couple of years. Wonder how the saves will work.

      Got to say though, what point having a Series console after that? Maybe if your internet isn't up to the job, but my experience with using GeForce Now is pretty positive right now (have 1gbps/120mb[s down/up)
