What it is
CloudDeck is a paid cloud gaming service that gives each user a complete gaming PC in the cloud and streams its display to supported devices. It starts with a console-style interface, while desktop mode allows users to install mods and change system settings. Games come from the user’s own library, including Steam, Epic, GOG and other Linux-compatible launchers. CloudDeck says more than 25,000 Linux- or Proton-compatible games are supported, although some titles fail because of compatibility gaps or anti-cheat restrictions on virtual machines. Streaming reaches 1440p at 60 FPS, with the Launch plan specifying 40 Mbps and sessions up to six hours. The plan lists four CPU cores, eight threads, 16 GB RAM, suitable Nvidia or AMD graphics, and 250 GB SSD storage expandable to 1 TB. Moonlight connects devices to the hosted machine.

Who it suits
CloudDeck suits players who want a hosted gaming PC for their own libraries, mod installation, and single-player or non-competitive multiplayer. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, TVs, laptops, handhelds, tablets and phones.
CloudDeck combines a cloud PC with desktop access, personal game libraries, and Moonlight streaming. Check Linux or Proton compatibility first, especially for anti-cheat games; the listed Launch plan starts at €19.99/mo.
