Steam’s built in game streaming previously hasn’t had the best quality, leaving many people to use other options like Moonlight/Apollo.

Well I saw some people saying that Steam Remote Play streaming is working a lot better now with the new SteamOS update.

Trying it out myself, it really does seem like it’s improved. The whole experience worked very smoothly, and visual quality of the stream is much better than the last time I tried it.

    It can for sure. Biggest challenges come from 3rd party app launchers because it chains the application and can “confuse” Steam remote play especially if you make use of the Steam input mapping. If that’s a concern, see if you can launch the game without the separate app launcher (if that’s applies) or just deal with the limitations. This is a few years old knowledge so maybe it’s improved since then but I doubt it.
