General requirements (all platforms)

  • Processor: 64-bit x86, 2.5 GHz or faster, 2 cores or more

  • Memory: 4 GB minimum (8 GB recommended)

  • Free disk space: 500 MB or more

  • Graphics card with hardware H.264 decoding. Hardware H.265 decoding is optional but recommended: it delivers the same image quality at a lower bitrate, which reduces the load on your connection

  • Up-to-date NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics drivers

  • A permanent internet connection

  • While playing, avoid running other applications or keeping browser tabs open

  • Do not launch other apps, programs, or processes, and do not open other browser tabs.

  • If you run the Product on your laptop, do not connect it to TVs and other screens, monitors, or displays through HDMI, USB, or otherwise. Video output to other devices may result in worse performance.

If your graphics card does not support hardware decoding, the client falls back to a software decoder: streaming still works, but with high CPU load and a noticeable drop in image quality.


Windows

  • Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer, including Windows 11

  • Graphics card with DirectX 11 support and hardware H.264 decoding

  • Administrator rights are required to install the application

  • 4 GB of memory and 500 MB of free disk space


macOS

  • macOS 10.15 Catalina or newer (macOS 12 Monterey or newer recommended)

  • Mac with an Intel or Apple Silicon processor (M1 or newer) — a separate build is provided for each architecture

  • 4 GB of memory and 500 MB of free disk space

  • Microphone access permission is required for voice chat

macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave (Intel): supported only by the separate Stable build.


Linux

  • 64-bit distribution (x86-64); there is no desktop ARM version

  • Ubuntu 20.04 or newer, Debian 11 or newer, Fedora 32 or newer, Linux Mint 20 or newer

  • An X11 session. In a Wayland session the client runs through XWayland

  • Desktop environments: GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Cinnamon, MATE

  • A driver with OpenGL support

  • PulseAudio or ALSA sound subsystem

  • 4 GB of memory and 500 MB of free disk space

Hardware decoding: VA-API (Intel, AMD), VDPAU, NVDEC/CUDA (NVIDIA).

Installation packages: .deb and .rpm.

Recommended packages (usually already installed): libva2, libva-drm2, libva-x11-2, libvdpau1, libxcb-xinerama0, libxcb-xinput0, libpcre2, traceroute.

These requirements apply to Full HD streaming at 60 FPS with automatic bitrate. Higher settings may require more advanced specifications.

Requirements for your phones

Android Phone Requirements:

  • A phone with 2GB RAM or more

  • OpenGL ES 3.2

  • Android 6.0 or higher

  • Bluetooth or OTG (support)

  • The latest version of Google Chrome

  • h.264 hardware decoding (support)

  • WebRTC (support)

Possible problems and questions:

The back button of a gamepad closes the game session - on the part of a phone, the back button of the connected gamepad is a system button and fulfills the back action in the browser. To use the back button function, you have to use the back button drawn on the phone screen.

iPhone Requirements:

  • iPhone version 7 or higher

  • The latest version of Safari

Possible problems and questions:

iPhone does not recognize the back and start buttons. To use the function of the back and the start buttons, you should use the back and the start buttons drawn on the phone screen.

Requirements for your Internet connection

Online streaming automatically configures depending on your Internet connection. The quality of your Internet connection defines the quality of the image you observe on the screen.

  • Minimum for Full HD 60 fps gaming: a stable 14 Mbps connection

  • For comfortable gaming: 24 Mbps or more

  • For 4K gaming: 80 Mbps or more

  • Use a wired connection (Ethernet) or a 5 GHz router. A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection may cause streaming quality issues

  • If your laptop has no Ethernet port, use a USB or Thunderbolt adapter

Internet connection requirements

Requirements for your controllers

  • Use a computer mouse and a keyboard connected via USB. Wireless controllers may increase response time or jitter.

  • We recommend using the following gamepads: Sony DualShock 4, Microsoft Xbox 360 (wired connection only) and Xbox One, and Logitech Gamepad F310/F510/F710. You may use other gamepads, but we do not guarantee a seamless operation.

  • Keep in mind that regardless of the controller you use, our system will recognize it as an Xbox 360 gamepad to improve compatibility. This does not interfere with the gameplay, however, the buttons will appear as the ones on the Xbox controller.

  • To reduce response time, use a wire connection.
