I've got a Playstation 5. Its mostly used as a entertainment center and a little gaming here and there.

But ive always been a touch curious about some pc games that won't ever be coming over

Not owning a pc and not wanting to invest the upfront cash to dabble I think I have found a perfect solution

I can port my phone to a display running the Nvidia geforce now app. Link that to steam. It restricts me to only some games but ill be damned all the ones I want to try are a green light. Mostly being ground branch and body cam

Now when I first started down this road I didnt think it was going to work worth a shit. But I owned some kids on counter strike 2 at a car wash in my truck

To give it a serious shake I went and grabbed a dongle to use a hdmi cable from my phone straight to the TV to reduce latency as much as i could. Also can plug in my keyboard and mouse.

Am I crazy thinking this is going to work out? Im tempted to grab ground branch or bodycam but perhaps there's a more demanding free game that I can dive into first

Ill be danged it worked pretty good

I played some other stuff before working up to spending the bones on bodycam lol

Figured for sure there's no way this would all work out well

It ran pretty smooth. Even cranked up the graphics to extreme and it was still chugging along smoothly for the most part

I really thought id be shooting myself in the foot and asking for it running this route

But for the casual gamer such as myself this is beautiful

One of my runs from the weekend

Not too shabby for using a phone connected to a TV
