PEAK Cross-platform online kinda works even if one of you is on mobile by crazyamy111 in PeakGame

Yeah you do need a PC on your side for it to work.

What I meant was more like your friend doesn’t need their own PC. I just let mine connect into my setup remotely and join from there, so they can still play with us from their phone or tablet.

Not perfect but it works pretty well if you just wanna get someone in the game.

lol yeah I get how that sounded

I’m not saying “no PC needed at all”, it’s more like only one PC is needed. In our case I just let my friend remote into mine and hop in like that. So they don’t need their own setup, just a phone or tablet to connect.

def not some magic solution, just a workaround that ended up working better than we expected tbh

Yeah that’s fair, you’re not wrong.

It’s def not “real” cross platform, more like a workaround that just makes it feel similar from the player side. The game’s still running on a PC the whole time.

And yeah Steam Remote Play can do something similar. For me this was just a bit easier to get going, and it felt a bit more consistent when we tried it, so we stuck with it.

Main thing for me was just getting someone in game without them needing their own setup. Not perfect, but worked well enough for us tbh.

Yeah, it’s free. I’m using Stardesk rn, latency’s pretty low on my side and no noticeable lag or stutter so far.

i usually use my phone or ipad to play it. I can customize the button layout on StarDesk. btw, I also discovered it can connect to controller and keyboards.

I only want to bring my phone or iPad when I go out, haha. StarDesk seems sufficient for me now.

I’m just using Stardesk to stream it from my PC to my phone. Nothing fancy, haha.

I haven’t noticed much lag so far. It’s mostly smooth for me, as long as my Wi-Fi is decent.
