How To Stream PC Games On Android

When it comes to playing PC games from your Android device, we'd know that this practice isn't new as the "NVIDIA GameStream technology" lets us stream games from a GeForce GTX-powered PC to our Android device or TV. This concept however supports only the NVIDIA’s Android-based SHIELD device. But if you want to access and play your favorite PC games on your android device, then you can use a 'third-party' service known as "Remotr" to achieve this. Remotr brings the opportunity to enjoy PC games from our mobile with the same performance & visual quality.
In a nutshell, Remotr works by mirroring your "PC screen" directly to your android device. In this way, the app will provide a "smooth streaming experience" for even the most graphics intensive games. Also Remotr includes a "custom presets"  and this will give you the full control to modify and customize their own controls for each game. Now without further ado, let's quickly get started and perhaps see how remotr works by setting it up
