When I finish work I want to sit on my sofa and play
Nowadays I work from home, and I agree - I don’t want to sit on my desk after a long day of sitting on my desk. Guess what though, I don’t have to, even when using a PC. My Steam Deck allows me to play everywhere, and with a single cable it connects to my TV and I’m playing.
But what if the game is too heavy for the Deck, or I want the ray tracing and 120 FPS of my expensive gaming PC? I just turn on my TV, I choose the Moonlight app, and I click play. That’s it. My computer automatically opens Steam Big Picture, everything is already updated, I grab my controller and I’m gaming. In fact, I would bet a beer or lunch that I can boot a game on my setup faster than a Xbox Series console, if we are both launching a game for the first time rather than resuming from suspend.
Ok but most of my games use Quick Resume so I am playing in under 15 seconds. To be honest the Switch has taken the crown for picking up where you left off since 2017.
I’ve used Moonlight but prefer not to stream really. Would be interested in how the latency is these days.
In the past I’d have said PC all the way but these days I’m glad both options exist. Biggest draw to the PC for me is mods. Would be tempted to make a dedicated SteamOS box next gen.

How is the latency in moonlight? Thinking about trying it
