How a Game Streaming Server Works
Remote gaming on a game streaming server typically involves the following stages:
1
Run the Game on the Server
Install and run compatible PC games on your remote game streaming server. The server executes the game and handles graphics rendering.
2
Capture and Encode the Game
The host-side streaming software captures the gameplay and generates a video stream using compatible hardware or software encoding.
3
Send the Stream over the Network
The encoded gameplay travels over the network to your client. Network latency, packet loss, bandwidth, and routing quality all affect the streaming experience.
4
Display the Game on Your Device
The client receives and decodes the video, then sends your keyboard, mouse, or controller input back to the remote server.
5
Adjust Your Streaming Settings
Adjust resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and encoding options to suit your device and network conditions, balancing image quality, smoothness, and latency.
How to Set Up a Game Streaming Server
From choosing a game streaming server to connecting to your remote games, just a few steps are needed to configure the setup that fits your needs.

Choose the right game streaming server based on the hardware requirements of your target games and your budget. Select the operating system you need when ordering, and GameServer Mart will pre-install it when the server is delivered.
2
Step 2: Connect to Your Server

3
Step 3: Install Your Games and Streaming Software
Install PC games and game streaming software that are compatible with the operating system, such as Sunshine or Parsec. Configure the graphics driver, hardware encoding, and related runtime environment according to the software requirements.
4
Step 4: Set Up Your Gaming Client
Install a compatible streaming client, such as Moonlight or Parsec, on your computer or another supported device. Follow the instructions of the software to configure the connection between host and client.
5
Step 5: Test and Optimize Your Streaming Experience
Launch a game and test the picture quality, frame rate, input response, and network stability. Adjust resolution, frame rate, and bitrate to match your actual connection, striking the right balance between image quality and input latency.
FAQ about Game Streaming Server
Answers to common questions about running a game streaming server.
What Is a Game Streaming Server?
A game streaming server is a server environment used to run PC games remotely and stream the gameplay in real time to other devices. The game mainly executes on the server side, while you watch the picture and send your inputs through a client.
Can I Use Sunshine and Moonlight on My Game Streaming Server?
You can consider using Sunshine as the compatible host-side software on your game streaming server and receiving the stream through the Moonlight client. You will need to install and configure them yourself, and confirm that the server operating system, drivers, and network requirements are met.
Can I Install My Own PC Games?
The GameServer Mart game streaming server comes with full root/admin access. You can install games that are compatible with the server operating system and hardware, as long as you follow the licensing and terms of use of each game.
Will a Game Streaming Server Work on My Laptop or Tablet?
When the client device, operating system, and streaming software are all supported, you can stream remote games from your game streaming server to a compatible laptop, tablet, or other device. The client still needs sufficient decoding capability and a stable network connection.
Does the Server Include Game Streaming Software?
The game streaming server mainly provides hardware resources and the corresponding operating system environment, not a bundled game streaming service. Tools such as Sunshine, Moonlight, and Parsec usually need to be installed and configured by you according to your own needs.
How Can I Reduce Latency on a Game Streaming Server?
Choosing a suitable server location, using a stable wired network, adjusting resolution and frame rate, and using compatible hardware encoding can all help optimize your experience on a game streaming server. Actual latency is determined jointly by the server, network, client, and display device.
