I know there are many ways to play your games via the cloud or stream from a desktop to your phone, and many of those methods are reliable and fun. But it’s always a win for the gaming community when more opportunities come available. That’s exactly how I feel about the newly launched GameSir GameHub.
You may recognize the brand GameSir because of its capable, console-quality controllers that enhance your mobile gaming experiences. If you don’t recognize them, well, you’re welcome. The new GameSir Lite is one of the most accessible and affordable high-end mobile controllers out there.
But it all links back to the GameSir GameHub, a new “mind-blowing” remote gaming experience that allows you to play your favorite games anywhere, anytime. Available for Android and PC, the GameHub Manager allows you to access your desktop games from your phone.
It also supports cloud gaming and game streaming platforms, like NVIDIA GeForce Now, PS Remote Play, Xbox and more.
How does it work?
It’s all fairly intuitive and simple. You download the Android apk from GameHub and install it on your phone. If you want to access the PC emulator and play your desktop games on the go, then you’ll also need to install the GameHub Manager. Otherwise, you can load the app and connect to the services you wish to use.
It works well, and streaming is responsive. Of course, as is customary, performance is largely going to depend on your home network and internet connection. You’ll need a strong connection and high-speed internet is always a must for these sorts of things. If you have a low data cap, you might want to stay away from remote streaming, too, but I suspect you know that already.
It supports both touch controls and external controllers, including GameSir’s own devices.
Why is a new remote streaming app good for the gaming community?
For starters, it’s free to download and free to use. That puts some pressure on the competition, but also more options in the space is always a good thing. It sucks when there are only one or two choices for a particular platform. In this case, it just makes things so much easier to stream the games you love to mobile.
You might not care now, but when you’re sitting at the auto repair shop waiting for your oil change or repairs to be done, you’ll be real happy this is a thing. You do need to get it all set up beforehand, however, but that’s true for every streaming app you use from Steam to Moonlight.
