Yes—you can play Cyberpunk 2077 on a supported Apple-silicon Mac natively, while an iPad or iPhone needs a streaming route. To continue the exact Windows copy, save, mods, and graphics setup, download DeskIn on the gaming PC and client device; the Windows PC still runs the game.
Quick answer: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition now runs natively on eligible Apple-silicon Macs, but the Mac app does not install on an iPad or iPhone. To play Cyberpunk 2077 on iPad—or to use the exact game, save, graphics settings, and mods already on a Windows PC—DeskIn can stream that PC screen and relay your controller, keyboard, or mouse input. The Windows PC still runs the game.
Platform and feature facts checked August 13, 2026. Recheck official requirements before purchasing or installing.
Can You Play Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac or iPad?
Yes on a supported Mac, but not through a native iPad installation. CD PROJEKT RED released Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for Apple-silicon Macs on July 17, 2025. The full game is not listed as an iPadOS or iOS app. On an iPad, remote play works by displaying and controlling a copy running on your own Windows PC.
Device or route | Does the full game run locally? | Best for | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
Eligible Apple-silicon Mac | Yes, with the official Mac build | Offline local play and a straightforward Mac experience | Requires macOS 15.5+, M1 or later, and at least 16 GB unified memory |
Mac controlling a Windows PC | No; Windows is the host | Existing Windows install/save, Intel or ineligible Mac, Windows RTX settings, or avoiding another large install | Both devices and the network must sustain the session |
iPad or iPhone controlling a Windows PC | No; Windows is the host | Sofa, hotel, or short mobile sessions with a controller | The Mac App Store build is not an iPad/iPhone app |
Cloud gaming service | No; provider servers run it | Playing without owning a capable host PC | Catalog, region, queue, subscription, and session rules vary |
Remote desktop is also different from an emulator. DeskIn does not translate the Windows game to macOS or iPadOS. It sends the host's video and audio to the client, then returns ordinary input to the host.
Cyberpunk 2077 Mac System Requirements: Check Native Play First
The official App Store minimum is macOS 15.5 or later, an Apple M1 chip or later, and 16 GB of unified memory. Its stated minimum target is about 30 fps at 1440×900 or 1600×900 with the “For This Mac” preset. The listed recommendation is an M3 Pro with 18 GB for about 60 fps at 1800×1125 or 1920×1080. The App Store download includes all voiceovers and lists 159 GB, plus temporary installation headroom.
These details answer two common questions:
An 8 GB M1 or M2 Mac does not meet the official 16 GB minimum.
“Available on Mac” does not mean that every Mac can deliver native 4K, ray tracing, or 60 fps.
If your Mac is eligible and you want a self-contained local copy that works without reaching a Windows PC, the native build is usually the simplest option. Apple and CDPR built it for Apple silicon, including the “For This Mac” preset, MetalFX features, Mac display behavior, and platform save integrations.
Cyberpunk 2077 Mac App Store vs Steam, GOG, and Epic
The Mac release is sold on the Mac App Store and is also available through GOG.com, Steam, and Epic Games Store. CDPR's launch notice says players who already own the game on GOG, Steam, or Epic can download the Mac build through that same storefront without buying it again. That statement does not turn a Steam purchase into a Mac App Store purchase; stay within the storefront where you own the license.
For save continuity, CDPR offers cross progression. Update both versions, open Load Game, enable Cross Progression, sign in to the same CD PROJEKT RED account, and create a new save. A cloud icon should appear next to the uploaded save before you attempt to continue elsewhere.
Do not treat “cross progression” as a reason to skip backups. Make a fresh manual save and keep a safe copy before moving between a modded Windows installation, a native Mac build, or a console. A save that depends on Windows-only mods may not behave correctly in another environment.
Why Remote the Windows PC If a Native Mac Version Exists?
Remote access is no longer the only way to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac, but it solves a different set of problems.
Continue the exact Windows session
When DeskIn opens the same Windows PC you normally use, the game reads the same local installation, launcher account, configuration, and save files. You are not waiting for a cloud save to move to a second copy before every short session.
Use the stronger GPU you already own
Night City is demanding. A high-end Windows PC may render higher settings, ray tracing, path tracing, or DLSS modes more efficiently than an entry-level Mac. Remote play lets the host perform that work while a lightweight MacBook or iPad acts as the screen and controller.
This does not create performance the host cannot produce. If the Windows PC renders 35 fps at 4K, a 60 fps stream cannot turn it into true 60 fps gameplay. Set the game to a stable frame rate first, then tune the stream.
Avoid another large installation
The official Mac download is large. A remote session can be practical when the Mac has limited storage, you are borrowing a Mac, or you only want occasional access from an iPad.
Retain a carefully configured Windows environment
Some players have custom graphics settings or permitted single-player mods on Windows. Remote access keeps that environment on the host. It does not guarantee that every mod, overlay, controller remapper, or launcher prompt will work remotely; test the full chain before traveling.
What 4K Remote Gaming and 4:4:4 Actually Mean
DeskIn’s official remote-gaming page lists supported configurations up to 4K 60 FPS or 2K 240 FPS. Its Performance plan also includes 4:4:4 true color. These are plan and hardware capabilities, not a guarantee for every session; actual results depend on the host encoder, client decoder and display, game frame rate, bandwidth, route, and Wi-Fi conditions.
Why 4:4:4 can matter in Night City
4:4:4 preserves full chroma resolution instead of reducing color detail. It can make small HUD labels, red or blue interface edges, neon signs, and fine text look cleaner. It is especially noticeable when a desktop image contains sharp colored boundaries.
4:4:4 is not the same as HDR. It cannot correct an HDR/SDR mismatch, raised or crushed blacks, incorrect gamma, or a client display that does not support the same HDR path. If dark alleys look washed out or the sky shows heavy banding, test a consistent SDR setup before adding more variables.
Start below 4K on an iPad
An iPad does not need a 4K stream simply because the host monitor is 4K. Start at 1080p and 60 fps, or choose a resolution close to the client's visible area. Confirm stable movement and readable text, then raise resolution. A consistent 1080p/60 session usually feels better than 4K that repeatedly drops frames or bitrate.
Before Leaving Home: Prepare the Windows Host
Remote play is easiest to fix while you are still sitting in front of the PC. Complete this checklist before a trip.
Update and launch once. Update Windows, the GPU driver, launcher, Cyberpunk 2077, DeskIn, and the controller firmware. Start the game and reach the main menu.
Create and verify a manual save. Exit to the menu, create a fresh manual save, and check for the expected cloud icon if using cross progression. Keep a backup before changing platforms or mods.
Connect the host by Ethernet. This removes one wireless hop and leaves more of the latency budget for the client connection.
Finish sign-ins and authentication. Complete launcher prompts and two-factor authentication before leaving. Never share the host password or CDPR/Steam credentials.
Configure unattended access. In DeskIn, enable start with system and set a strong security password. Restrict access to trusted devices where possible.
Prevent unexpected sleep. DeskIn's unattended-access guide requires the host to stay reachable. Configure Windows power behavior intentionally.
Treat Wake-on-LAN as a tested fallback. DeskIn WOL requires compatible Windows BIOS/NIC settings and another DeskIn-running device on the same LAN. It cannot recover a blue screen, crash, failed update, or loss of power.
Test from another network. A same-Wi-Fi test does not represent hotel or mobile data. Make one short external-network connection before relying on it.
How to Play Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac from Your Windows PC
1. Install DeskIn on both computers
Install the current DeskIn client on the Windows gaming PC and the Mac. Sign in to your own account and verify that the Windows device appears in the Mac's device list. Grant only the permissions the apps request from their official installers.
2. Connect to the desktop before launching the game
Start a normal remote-control session first. Check that the Windows desktop, audio, and pointer respond. Then open Steam, GOG, or Epic and launch Cyberpunk 2077 from inside the session. This makes launcher prompts and focus changes visible.
3. Enable Game Mode and set a conservative quality target
Use DeskIn's gaming-oriented mode where available. Begin at 1080p/60 and normal or high color quality. Walk around a dense street, turn the camera quickly, drive for a minute, and open the inventory. Raise resolution only if the host frame rate and stream statistics remain stable.
4. Match the Mac display without cropping the HUD
Choose Fit or an equivalent aspect-preserving mode first. Black bars are preferable to cutting off the minimap, health, dialogue choices, or button prompts. Increase the game's text or HUD size when possible rather than zooming until interface edges disappear.
How to Play Cyberpunk 2077 on iPad or Mobile from PC
1. Install the mobile DeskIn client
Install DeskIn from the official iOS/iPadOS or Android store and sign in. Connect to the already prepared Windows host. The iPad is the client; it is not installing the Mac or Windows executable.
2. Pair a physical controller
Pair a supported Xbox, PlayStation, or other compatible Bluetooth controller with the iPad or phone. A physical controller is strongly preferable for driving, aiming, combat, dialogue selection, and quick-access actions. Touch or a virtual gamepad can work for inventory, photo mode, reading shards, and short low-risk tasks.
3. Verify controller redirection before loading a difficult save
At the main menu, test both sticks, triggers, D-pad, menu buttons, camera, crouch, scan, dodge, weapon switching, and vehicle controls. DeskIn documents automatic gamepad mapping and a Gamepad Redirection fallback, but also notes that some controller models may not map.
Use one input layer at a time. If Steam Input, a third-party remapper, and DeskIn gamepad redirection all translate the same device, you may see duplicate presses, ignored sticks, or prompts that rapidly switch between keyboard and controller icons.
4. Run a low-risk Night City test
Load a safe manual save. Test walking, camera movement, dialogue, inventory, combat, and driving separately. A session that feels fine in a menu may still become uncomfortable during a high-speed turn or precision shot.
A Practical Quality Ladder for Cyberpunk 2077 Remote Play
Use this order so you change one variable at a time:
Stabilize the game at a consistent host frame rate.
Set the stream to 1080p/60 fps and ordinary SDR.
Confirm controller response, audio sync, and readable HUD text.
Increase bitrate or color quality for dark gradients and neon edges.
Try a client-native or 1440p resolution if the display benefits.
Attempt 4K only on a capable client and a consistently strong route.
Add HDR only when the host capture, DeskIn session, operating systems, and client display support a consistent HDR workflow.
If a change causes stutter, reverse the last change. Lowering stream resolution often helps more than reducing the game's frame-rate target, but the correct choice depends on whether the bottleneck is host rendering, encoding, bandwidth, decoding, or display refresh.
Troubleshooting Cyberpunk 2077 Remote Play
Cyberpunk 2077 remote play input is not working
First verify that the keyboard, mouse, or controller operates the Windows desktop. Then click the game window to restore focus and test at the main menu. If the desktop works but the game does not, disable duplicate remappers and test either Steam Input or DeskIn Gamepad Redirection—not several layers together. Reconnect the controller after the game reaches the menu if detection order appears to matter.
Do not apply old executable hex edits found in archived forum threads. Patch behavior changes, and modifying the executable can introduce security, stability, or update problems. Use current official support if a clean configuration still fails.
The image is dark, washed out, or shows color banding
Temporarily disable HDR on both ends and test SDR. Restore default gamma, remove graphics/color mods, and compare a local host screenshot with the remote image. Increase stream color quality or bitrate only after confirming that the game itself looks correct on the host. Remember that 4:4:4 improves chroma detail but does not fix an HDR mismatch.
Text is too small or the iPad has black bars
Keep aspect-ratio fitting enabled so the HUD remains visible. Lower the host resolution or increase the game's text/interface scale. Cropping to fill the iPad may enlarge the image but can hide critical UI at the edges.
Driving or combat stutters while menus look fine
Fast camera motion and dense city scenes increase both rendering and encoding demand. Check host fps first. Close downloads and overlays, use Ethernet on the host, move the client to strong 5 GHz/6 GHz Wi-Fi, and reduce stream resolution before raising bitrate. A stable 60 fps pipeline matters more than the 4K label.
The Windows PC is offline while you are away
If it is merely powered off or sleeping and WOL was correctly configured, another DeskIn device on the same home LAN may wake it. WOL cannot repair a crashed game, blue screen, failed boot, router outage, or power loss. There is no safe software-only substitute for testing host reliability before travel.
My latest save is missing
Do not create many new saves on the wrong platform. Return to the source installation, update it, enable cross progression, sign in to the same CDPR account, create a new manual save, and wait for the cloud icon. Remote controlling the original Windows PC should use its existing local save, but cloud and backup checks still matter before moving to another installation.
Security and Responsible-Use Checklist
Download DeskIn, launchers, and the game only from official sources.
Use a unique security password and trusted-device controls for unattended access.
Keep two-factor authentication enabled on storefront and CDPR accounts.
Do not expose passwords in screenshots, recordings, or shared devices.
Avoid public Wi-Fi for long sessions; if necessary, use a trusted network and end the session completely afterward.
Do not use remote access for automation, unattended farming, or behavior that violates platform or game rules.
Exit to the menu and save normally before disconnecting or shutting down the host.
FAQ
Is Cyberpunk 2077 available natively on Mac?
Yes. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition launched for Apple-silicon Macs on July 17, 2025. Official requirements start at macOS 15.5, an M1 chip, and 16 GB unified memory.
Can I install the Mac version on an iPad or iPhone?
No. The Mac App Store listing is a macOS application, not an iPadOS or iOS build. To play Cyberpunk 2077 on iPad, you can remotely control your Windows PC or use another legitimately available streaming service.
Do Steam, GOG, or Epic owners need to buy the Mac version again?
Not on the same supported storefront, according to CDPR's Mac launch notice. Existing Steam, GOG, and Epic owners can download the Mac build through their respective storefront. The Mac App Store remains a separate storefront.
Does Cyberpunk 2077 cross progression work between Mac and PC?
Yes, when both games are updated and connected to the same CD PROJEKT RED account. Enable cross-platform saves and create a new save; verify its cloud icon before switching platforms.
Does DeskIn transfer my Cyberpunk 2077 save to the iPad?
No transfer is needed for the same remote Windows session. Cyberpunk 2077 continues to run on the host and reads that PC's files. The iPad receives video/audio and sends input; it does not hold the Windows installation.
Can DeskIn guarantee Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K 60 fps?
No. DeskIn supports up to 4K 60 FPS or 2K 240 FPS on eligible configurations, but actual results depend on the plan, host game frame rate, encoder, client decoder and display, network route, and bandwidth. Start at 1080p/60 and scale up only after testing.
Is 4:4:4 true color the same as HDR?
No. 4:4:4 describes chroma sampling and can preserve fine colored detail. HDR describes a wider luminance/color presentation pipeline. One does not guarantee the other.
Can I use a controller for Cyberpunk 2077 on iPad?
Yes, with a controller supported by the iPad and DeskIn mapping path. Test every action before combat. If automatic mapping fails, try DeskIn Gamepad Redirection and remove conflicting remappers.
Can Wake-on-LAN restart a crashed Cyberpunk 2077 PC?
No. WOL may power on a compatible Windows PC after prior BIOS/NIC setup and with another DeskIn device on the same LAN. It cannot recover a blue screen, abnormal shutdown, broken boot, or power outage.
Should I use native Mac play or remote Windows play?
Use native Mac play for a supported, self-contained local installation. Use remote Windows play when you need the exact Windows environment, existing save/session, Windows graphics stack, an ineligible Mac, an iPad, or limited client storage—and have a reliable host and network.
Final Takeaway
The current answer is a choice, not a workaround. Eligible Apple-silicon Macs can run Cyberpunk 2077 natively. An iPad cannot install that Mac app, and a player who wants the exact Windows save, RTX-powered host, or configured PC environment may still prefer Cyberpunk 2077 remote play with DeskIn. Prepare the host, protect the save, validate every input, and climb from stable 1080p/60 toward 4K only when the complete path can sustain it. When you are ready to test your setup, download DeskIn for personal use and begin with a low-risk Cyberpunk 2077 session.
Yes—you can play Cyberpunk 2077 on a supported Apple-silicon Mac natively, while an iPad or iPhone needs a streaming route. To continue the exact Windows copy, save, mods, and graphics setup, download DeskIn on the gaming PC and client device; the Windows PC still runs the game.

Not on the same supported storefront, according to CDPR's Mac launch notice. Existing Steam, GOG, and Epic owners can download the Mac build through their respective storefront. The Mac App Store remains a separate storefront.
Does Cyberpunk 2077 cross progression work between Mac and PC?
Yes, when both games are updated and connected to the same CD PROJEKT RED account. Enable cross-platform saves and create a new save; verify its cloud icon before switching platforms.
Does DeskIn transfer my Cyberpunk 2077 save to the iPad?
No transfer is needed for the same remote Windows session. Cyberpunk 2077 continues to run on the host and reads that PC's files. The iPad receives video/audio and sends input; it does not hold the Windows installation.
Can DeskIn guarantee Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K 60 fps?
No. DeskIn supports up to 4K 60 FPS or 2K 240 FPS on eligible configurations, but actual results depend on the plan, host game frame rate, encoder, client decoder and display, network route, and bandwidth. Start at 1080p/60 and scale up only after testing.
Is 4:4:4 true color the same as HDR?
No. 4:4:4 describes chroma sampling and can preserve fine colored detail. HDR describes a wider luminance/color presentation pipeline. One does not guarantee the other.
Can I use a controller for Cyberpunk 2077 on iPad?
Yes, with a controller supported by the iPad and DeskIn mapping path. Test every action before combat. If automatic mapping fails, try DeskIn Gamepad Redirection and remove conflicting remappers.
Can Wake-on-LAN restart a crashed Cyberpunk 2077 PC?
No. WOL may power on a compatible Windows PC after prior BIOS/NIC setup and with another DeskIn device on the same LAN. It cannot recover a blue screen, abnormal shutdown, broken boot, or power outage.
Should I use native Mac play or remote Windows play?
Use native Mac play for a supported, self-contained local installation. Use remote Windows play when you need the exact Windows environment, existing save/session, Windows graphics stack, an ineligible Mac, an iPad, or limited client storage—and have a reliable host and network.
Final Takeaway
The current answer is a choice, not a workaround. Eligible Apple-silicon Macs can run Cyberpunk 2077 natively. An iPad cannot install that Mac app, and a player who wants the exact Windows save, RTX-powered host, or configured PC environment may still prefer Cyberpunk 2077 remote play with DeskIn. Prepare the host, protect the save, validate every input, and climb from stable 1080p/60 toward 4K only when the complete path can sustain it. When you are ready to test your setup, download DeskIn for personal use and begin with a low-risk Cyberpunk 2077 session.

メイプルストーリーのスマホが熱い・操作しにくいときの対処法｜Artaleの動作を見直す
MapleStory Worlds内のArtaleをスマートフォンで遊んでいると、「端末が熱い」「動作が重い」「タッチ操作でジャンプやスキルを押し間違える」と感じることがあります。発熱、通信、ボタン配置は別々の問題なので、症状を分けて原因を探すことが大切です。
この記事ではArtaleのスマホプレイで起こりやすい悩みと対処法、DeskInで普段使っているPC版の画面をスマートフォンに表示し、操作する方法を解説します。
Artaleをスマホで遊ぶときによくある悩み
長時間プレイすると端末が熱くなり、バッテリーの減りが早くなる。
混雑したマップやスキルエフェクトの多い場面でフレーム落ちや動作の重さが気になる。
ログインやマップの読み込みに時間がかかる。
仮想スティックでは細かな移動、ジャンプ、ロープ操作が難しい。
指や画面上のボタンがキャラクター、足場、敵を隠してしまう。
移動・ジャンプ・攻撃・スキルの同時操作や、長時間の繰り返し操作で指が疲れる。
これらの症状は端末の温度、ゲームの更新、ネットワークやサーバーの状況など複数の要因で起こります。どの場面で再現するかを記録し、一つずつ切り分けましょう。
Artaleでスマホが熱くなる・動作が重くなる原因
ゲームの描画と通信による負荷
スマートフォンでArtaleを直接動かす場合、ゲーム処理、グラフィック描画、通信、画面表示、タッチ入力を同時に処理します。高画質、高フレームレート、多数のエフェクト、画面の明るさ、バックグラウンドアプリが負荷を増やすことがあります。
充電しながらのプレイ、厚いケース、直射日光や暑い部屋も温度上昇につながります。温度が高くなると端末が保護のため性能を抑え、フレームレートや操作の反応に影響することもあります。
小さな画面とタッチ操作の制約
仮想スティックは物理ボタンのような触覚がないため、短いジャンプや方向転換の精度が気になる場合があります。移動、ジャンプ、スキル、ポーション、メニューのボタンが限られた画面に並び、指が視界を隠すこともあります。
端末が熱くなくても操作しにくい場合は、画質設定だけでなくボタン配置や入力方法を見直しましょう。

You can actually log into VALORANT from your phone. Flip through Night Market discount cards, pick your favorite weapon skins, check Battle Pass progress, and redeem exclusive charms and sprays anytime. Never miss out on in‑game offers and limited‑time drops. No need to stay glued to your computer. Browse your PC‑side game interface remotely while commuting or relaxing. Try DeskIn for low‑latency remote streaming and explore VALORANT’s four core store systems wherever you are!
I. What Gift Packs Are Available in VALORANT
VALORANT features four independent item and skin acquisition systems, each with separate rules, reward pools, and refresh mechanics that do not interfere with one another: Limited‑time Night Market, permanent Daily Shop, Seasonal Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store.
Limited‑time Night Market**: An official occasional discount event. Every player gets 6 random skin discount cards whose contents cannot be changed once opened. Discounts range from 10%‑49%, and rewards vary per account. The reward pool only includes select weapon skins released for at least two Acts. Battle Pass skins, new collections, Ultimate skins, limited‑time series, and high‑value melee weapons are excluded.
Daily Shop: The game’s permanent store. Four random individual weapon skins refresh every early morning and cannot be manually reset. Most items sell at full price, while a few may feature temporary discounts. The pool covers most old and new weapon skins and serves as the main source for buying standalone skins. Certain limited and high‑tier items will not appear here.
Seasonal Battle Pass**: Updates every Act with free and premium reward tracks. Unlock the paid track to earn season‑exclusive skins, charms, sprays, kill effects and more. All content is season‑limited and will not enter the Night Market or regular shops. Rewards cannot be purchased or obtained retroactively once the season ends.
Kingdom Store：A free weekly‑rotating accessory shop refreshing every Wednesday. Each player receives 4 random accessories redeemable only with Kingdom Credits earned in‑game. VP purchases and discounts are unavailable. The pool brings back past Battle Pass accessories such as charms, sprays, player cards, and titles. Weapon skins are not offered here.

III. How to Log Into VALORANT and Claim Rewards on Mobile
Pre‑requisites (Windows PC)
Install the VALORANT client on your PC and log in to your Riot account. Fully update the game client and Vanguard anti‑cheat beforehand. Avoid pop‑up updates or restart prompts after remote connection that would block access to the Night Market, Daily Shop, Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store.
Download and install the DeskIn PC client from the official website. Register and log in to your personal DeskIn account. Keep DeskIn running in the background with your device online so your phone can initiate connections anytime.
Log Into VALORANT on Android Phones
Complete steps to browse stores and claim rewards from Android via DeskIn. DeskIn enables one‑click remote connections from Android devices. Check the Night Market, Daily Shop, Seasonal Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store without sitting at your desktop.
1. Download DeskIn Get the official DeskIn mobile client from legitimate Android channels. Log in using the exact same account as your PC to finish device pairing. Ensure stable network connectivity on both ends.
2. Establish a remote connection Launch DeskIn on your phone and select your online Windows/Mac host to start a connection. Switch your phone to landscape mode for a wider field of view to display the full in‑game store UI. Confirm desktop video loads properly and touch inputs respond smoothly. All game accounts and store data reside on your host PC; your mobile device only receives video and sends touch commands.
3. Explore the four store systems Launch VALORANT on your host PC and navigate freely between store pages:
✅ Limited‑time Night Market: Tap the Night Market icon in the upper right corner. Flip your 6 exclusive discount cards one by one. Note skin names, original prices, discounted prices, and discount percentages. Save screenshots of skins you like for later comparison. Card contents lock permanently once opened and cannot be reset.
✅ Daily Shop: Open the permanent store tab to view your four fresh daily weapon‑skin offerings, their styles and prices, and seize opportunities to buy standalone skins.
✅ Seasonal Battle Pass**: Enter the Battle Pass menu. Review free and premium track progress and unclaimed rewards. Decide whether to purchase the pass and secure limited‑time rewards before the Act concludes.
✅ Kingdom Store**: Navigate to the Kingdom Credit redemption page. Check the four weekly‑rotated accessories refreshed every Wednesday. See which charms, sprays, player cards, and titles you are missing and redeem for free with Kingdom Credits as desired.
Log Into VALORANT on iPhone / iPad
Full steps to browse stores and claim rewards on iPhone and iPad. Apple devices fully support remote access to all four VALORANT stores with simple operation and sharp visuals. Large‑screen iPads work especially well for examining skins and accessory details.
1. Pair accounts across devices Keep DeskIn installed and logged‑in on your PC with the host device online. Download official DeskIn from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the identical DeskIn account to complete pairing. Log into your correct Riot account on the PC ahead of time. All four store datasets are account‑bound; logging into the wrong account will show incorrect personal store content.
2. Connect to your host PC from iOS Open DeskIn on your phone or tablet and select your Windows/Mac host to establish a remote session. Always use landscape orientation. Compact iPhones suit quick card‑opening, price‑checking and store refreshes. Large‑screen iPads deliver ample viewing space for weapon‑model animations, Battle‑Pass reward previews, and accessory previews.
3. Operate all store features Launch VALORANT and toggle between store pages: inspect Night Market discounted skins, verify Daily Shop rotations, check Battle‑Pass progression and time‑limited rewards, and view weekly Kingdom Store free accessories. Note: Night Market discounts apply only to base skins. Additional variants and upgrades require separate Radianite Points purchases, with discounts peaking at 49%.
Log Into VALORANT on Mac Computers
VALORANT has no native Mac build. Mac users can run the game inside a virtual machine or cloud‑hosted Windows environment and still access the complete suite of four stores.
1. Set up a stable Windows environment. Install VALORANT and log into your Riot account. Complete all game and anti‑cheat updates to guarantee the store UI loads correctly.
2. Install the DeskIn desktop client on macOS. Log in using the same DeskIn account used by your mobile device. Treat your Windows virtual machine running VALORANT as the controlled host machine and keep DeskIn online. You may now remotely view all store content from your phone.
IV. VALORANT Recommended Settings
Mobile Phones
You are only browsing stores, skins and accessories, not competing in matches. Prioritize stability, smoothness, and clarity.
- Stay in landscape mode to properly fit the store UI and avoid cropped visuals.
- Choose 720P / 1080P resolution to balance sharpness and performance.
- Prefer 5GHz / 6GHz high‑speed Wi‑Fi to reduce latency and network jitter.
- If touch feels sluggish or video stutters, lower bitrate and resolution to preserve stability.
- Pause PC downloads, system updates, and game updates during remote sessions to free network bandwidth.
- Reposition virtual touch overlays so they do not block Night Market cards, Daily Shop skins, Battle‑Pass rewards, or Kingdom Store redemption buttons.
- Take screenshots after browsing to compare skins and plan purchases and redemptions.
- Double‑check your logged‑in account, VP balance, and Kingdom‑Credit balance before paying or redeeming to prevent mis‑operations.
Tablets
Large tablet screens render details more completely and deliver superior viewing for skin animations, accessory assets, and Battle‑Pass rewards. Optimized settings for tablets:
- Lock full‑screen landscape orientation to maximize store‑UI visibility.
- Set resolution to 1080P‑1440P to faithfully reproduce weapon lighting, animations, and accessory textures.
- Connect your host PC via Ethernet cable to eliminate network fluctuation for maximum stability.
- Use stable private Wi‑Fi on your tablet; avoid public networks that cause latency and disconnections.
- Prioritize visual quality over extremely high frame rates for viewing‑focused usage.
- Moderately reduce bitrate during minor network fluctuations to maintain smooth playback.
- Custom‑place virtual touch controls away from purchase and redemption buttons to prevent accidental taps.
Iconic animated collections such as Reaver, Oni, Ion, Gaia’s Vengeance, and Glitchpop, plus Battle‑Pass exclusive effect items, show off richer animations and finer details on tablets.
V. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will store content seen through DeskIn differ from what I see directly on my home PC?
A: Exactly the same. Night Market, shop, and Battle‑Pass data sync in real‑time with your account. No discrepancies occur.
Q2: Text and skin details look washed‑out when browsing stores on a tablet. How do I fix this?
A: Adjust color profile and zoom level. Static‑view detail rendering will become clearer and more comfortable.
Q3: Am I at risk of anti‑cheat flags if I only browse stores remotely with DeskIn and do not play matches?
A: Pure video streaming does not modify game files. Store‑only browsing carries no risk. Remote competitive gameplay is not recommended by the official stance.
Q4: Can I keep my PC monitor turned off to save power and still remotely open VALORANT to browse stores?
A: Enable the virtual‑display feature. You can capture video and navigate the shop even with your physical monitor powered off.
Q5: If I travel abroad and connect back home via DeskIn to view new cosmetics, will this trigger cross‑region verification?
A: The game detects your host PC’s home‑region IP, so cross‑region locks and security checks will not trigger.
Q6: Accidental taps happen when navigating stores with mobile touch inputs. What can I do?
A: Customize your virtual‑button layout, or pair a Bluetooth mouse for far more precise control.
Q7: If I regularly check the Kingdom Store and Battle Pass remotely, do reward‑return rules match those on PC?
A: Rules are identical. Kingdom‑store accessories rotate back periodically. Battle‑Pass items become permanently unobtainable once their Act ends.
Q8: Will account conflicts happen if I switch remote connections between a Windows PC and a Mac PC to view stores?
A: The same Riot account cannot run VALORANT on two hosts simultaneously. Close one instance before switching. All data remains interoperable.
VI. Summary
VALORANT’s four reward systems each serve distinct purposes. Whether you are away from home or without a computer, DeskIn streams high‑definition, low‑latency VALORANT footage from Windows or Mac hosts to Android, iPhone, and iPad devices. Flip Night Market cards, check Daily Shop rotations, track Battle‑Pass progression, and redeem free Kingdom Store accessories on‑the‑go. Never miss discounts or limited‑time loot. Download DeskIn now to try remote access.
How to Play PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on iPad or Mobile From Your PC
Yes—you can play PUBG on iPad, iPhone, or Android by streaming PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS from your own Windows PC. Download DeskIn on the PC and mobile device; the host runs the full PC game while the phone or tablet displays the stream and sends touch, keyboard, mouse, or compatible controller input.
This setup is useful when you are away from your desk and want to check an event, claim a daily login reward, visit the store, or play from another room. For ranked matches and precision gunfights, however, remote play adds network and input delay. A local keyboard-and-mouse setup remains the safer choice for competitive play.
Important: DeskIn is not an official KRAFTON, PUBG Studios, or BattlEye product. Game and anti-cheat policies can change. Review the latest PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS rules before connecting, and do not use macros, scripts, automation, recoil control, auto-clicking, or one-button multi-action commands.
PUBG PC, PUBG MOBILE, and remote play are not the same thing
Before setting anything up, decide which version you actually want to access.
Option | Where the game runs | Progress used | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS through DeskIn | Your Windows gaming PC | The PC account you sign in with | Accessing the full PC game from an iPad or phone |
PUBG MOBILE | Natively on iOS or Android | Your PUBG MOBILE account | A game designed for touchscreens and mobile hardware |
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on console | PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S | The account and progression available to that console environment | Native current-generation console play |
Native PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS install on iPad or iPhone | Not available | Not applicable | The Windows client is not an iOS or iPadOS app |
Remote play does not convert PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS into PUBG MOBILE, nor does DeskIn merge the two accounts. You keep seeing your PC items and progress because you are controlling the same PC client and signing in to the same PC platform account.
As of this article's August 2026 fact check, the official PUBG play page lists Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation, and Xbox entry points. PUBG's current-generation console transition notice confirms that console service is now limited to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S; older PS4 and Xbox One platform lists are no longer current.
Do not assume that purchases, cosmetics, ranks, or progression transfer between PUBG MOBILE, console, Steam, and Epic. PUBG's matchmaking documentation confirms Steam/Epic cross-platform play on PC and Xbox/PlayStation cross-platform play on console, but cross-play is not the same as cross-progression. Check the current support documentation for your exact pair of platforms before making a purchase.
When does PUBG remote play make sense?
The best use case depends on how sensitive the task is to delay.
Good use cases: login rewards, events, and light interaction
Claim a daily attendance or check-in reward while traveling.
Open the PC client to check a limited-time event or store rotation.
Review inventory, menus, settings, or account information.
Download an update before you return to your desk.
Play a casual session from another room on a larger iPad screen.
Access the Windows version from a Mac, iPad, or phone that cannot run it natively.
One Reddit player asked specifically how to collect PUBG daily attendance rewards while traveling without a PC. That is an ideal remote-access problem: the task is time-sensitive but does not require tournament-level aiming.
Less suitable: ranked and reaction-heavy gunfights
Ranked matches where every frame and input matters.
Long-range aiming on a small phone display.
Unstable hotel Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi, or a moving cellular connection.
A first-time control layout that has not been tested in Training Mode.
Any setup that depends on automated inputs or prohibited macros.
Remote play adds an encode, network, decode, and return-input path. Even when the picture looks smooth, the total response can differ from playing directly on the host PC. Community reports from PUBG streamed to handheld devices also highlight frame pacing and control difficulty. Treat remote competitive play as an experiment, not a guaranteed replacement for your desktop setup.
What you need before playing PUBG PC on mobile
Prepare the following:
A Windows PC that can run PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS normally.
PUBG installed and updated through your official PC platform.
An iPad, iPhone, or Android phone or tablet.
DeskIn Personal installed on the PC and mobile device.
A stable connection at both ends; Ethernet for the host PC is strongly preferred.
Optional: a compatible Bluetooth or wired controller.
PUBG’s official minimum requirements currently list Windows 10, 8 GB of RAM, a DirectX 11-class GPU, broadband internet, and 40 GB of available storage. The recommended requirements increase the CPU, memory, graphics, and storage targets. These requirements apply to the host PC because it still renders the game; a powerful iPad cannot compensate for a host that already stutters locally.
Before leaving home, also:
Launch PUBG once and confirm that the current update works.
Pause unrelated game downloads, cloud backups, and OS updates.
Prevent the host from entering an unreachable sleep state.
Test a full connection over cellular data or an outside network.
Confirm that you can recover from launcher prompts or a dropped session.
How to play PUBG on an iPad, iPhone, or Android device with DeskIn
Step 1: Install DeskIn on the Windows gaming PC
Download DeskIn from the official site and install it on the PC that already runs PUBG. Sign in or complete the device authorization process, then secure the host with a strong access password.
Run a local test connection before relying on the setup remotely. Windows permission prompts, launcher updates, firewall rules, or sleep settings are much easier to fix while you are still next to the computer.
Step 2: Install DeskIn on the mobile device
Use DeskIn’s official download page to reach the iOS App Store or Google Play listing. Open the app on your iPad, iPhone, or Android device and connect to the authorized Windows PC with the account or device code and password required by your setup.
Once connected, you should see the actual Windows desktop. This is the key distinction from PUBG MOBILE: no second copy of your PC game is being created on the tablet.
Step 3: Launch PUBG on the remote PC
Open Steam or your official PC launcher inside the remote session, then start PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Before entering a live match, verify the following in the lobby and Training Mode:
Video motion is stable enough to track the camera.
The minimap and inventory text remain readable.
Left and right mouse input behave correctly.
Movement keys continue responding when held.
Remote audio reaches the mobile device.
Push-to-talk and microphone behavior meet your needs.
Reconnecting does not leave a key or mouse button stuck.
If a launcher or anti-cheat dialog appears outside the game window, switch back to the full remote desktop and address the prompt manually.
Step 4: Choose touch controls or a controller
DeskIn offers two practical control routes for PC games on mobile.
Option A: a customized on-screen gaming keyboard
DeskIn’s official customized gaming keyboard guide explains how to place a joystick, mouse buttons, and keyboard keys on a mobile screen, then adjust their size, position, labels, and transparency.
For PUBG, keep the overlay minimal:
Left side: movement joystick or WASD.
Right side: camera and basic mouse input.
Edge buttons: map, inventory, crouch, prone, interact, reload, and push-to-talk.
Avoid placing controls over the minimap, crosshair, health bar, or interaction prompts.
Touch controls are reasonable for menus, rewards, and simple movement. They are much harder to use for simultaneous movement, aiming, leaning, firing, and recoil management.
Fair-play rule: map each on-screen control to a normal single input. DeskIn may offer combination keys or custom macros on eligible plans, but do not use them in PUBG. PUBG’s published rules prohibit macros, scripts, automatic mouse functions, and other unauthorized tools or hardware that affect normal gameplay.
Option B: a local controller
For longer sessions, a physical controller is usually more comfortable than a dense touch overlay. DeskIn’s official guide shows how to use a local controller with a remote PC game:
Pair the controller to the iPad, phone, tablet, or local computer through Bluetooth or a cable.
Connect to the gaming PC through DeskIn.
Open Gamepad Redirect in the DeskIn session toolbar.
Select the detected controller and test it before joining a match.
PUBG Support confirms that compatible controllers can be used through Steam, and PUBG has continued updating PC controller support. That does not mean every controller, mobile OS, or remote route will behave identically, so test your buttons and stick sensitivity in Training Mode first.
How to reduce latency when streaming PUBG from PC to phone
Connect the host PC by Ethernet
The host must upload a continuous video stream while receiving your input. A wired connection removes one major source of wireless interference and is usually the highest-impact improvement.
Use stable 5 GHz or 6 GHz Wi-Fi on the mobile device
Stay close enough to the access point to avoid rapid signal changes. A strong speed-test result alone does not guarantee good remote play; consistency, jitter, and packet loss matter because PUBG reacts poorly to irregular input delivery.
Stabilize the stream before raising image quality
Start with a conservative resolution and frame rate. If controls feel consistent, raise quality in small steps. If the stream stutters, reduce resolution or bitrate first. A stable 1080p image is more useful for aiming than an unstable higher-resolution feed.
DeskIn’s official remote gaming page lists low-latency game streaming, high-FPS modes, keyboard, mouse, controller support, and touch-optimized controls. Its current Gaming plan advertises up to 4K 60 FPS or 2K 240 FPS, while the free plan is listed at 1080p 30 FPS. These are plan capabilities, not a promise for every session. Actual results depend on the plan, host GPU and encoder, mobile decoder, display, network route, and game performance.
Keep enough performance headroom on the PC
Close unnecessary browsers, recording tools, downloads, and other GPU-heavy programs. If PUBG is already CPU- or GPU-bound locally, video encoding can add more pressure. Lower the in-game settings or remote-stream quality until local rendering and the remote feed are both stable.
Use an iPad when interface readability matters
A larger screen makes the minimap, inventory, and distant silhouettes easier to read than on a small phone. It does not remove latency, but it can reduce missed taps and visual strain.
Test outside your home network before traveling
A same-room Wi-Fi test does not represent hotel Wi-Fi or cellular data. Connect through an external network, launch the game, claim a reward, enter Training Mode, close the session, and reconnect. This exposes routing, sleep, and authentication issues early.
Does the gaming PC have to stay on?
The host must be on and able to run DeskIn and PUBG during the session. If you do not want to leave it fully awake, DeskIn provides a Wake-on-LAN setup guide.
Wake-on-LAN is conditional. The Windows PC, network adapter, BIOS, and network must support the required wake settings. DeskIn’s official instructions also require another device running DeskIn on the same LAN to assist with the wake request. A blue screen, crash, abnormal shutdown, or incompatible hardware can prevent remote boot, so test this feature before depending on it during a trip.
PUBG anti-cheat and account-safety precautions
PUBG’s published rules prohibit unauthorized programs and hardware that interfere with normal play, including cheats, helpers, bots, scripts, trainers, automatic programs, automatic mouse functions, macros, game-data readers, and hardware that bypasses anti-cheat. A 2026 anti-cheat update again highlights macro mice, recoil scripts, and abnormal inputs as enforcement targets.
The published language does not give third-party remote desktop products a blanket approval. Community posts also contain reports of bans while using cloud, virtualized, or remote setups, but those anecdotes do not establish the exact cause of every enforcement action. The responsible position is neither “remote play is automatically banned” nor “DeskIn is guaranteed safe.”
Reduce avoidable risk by following these rules:
Download DeskIn and PUBG only from official sources.
Never share the remote device code, access password, or game account.
Use ordinary manual input only.
Do not create recoil control, rapid-fire, repeated-heal, movement, or multi-action macros.
Do not use remote access for unattended farming or automation.
Stop if PUBG or its anti-cheat displays a warning or behaves unexpectedly.
Review the current PUBG Terms of Service and contact PUBG Support if you need an official compatibility decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can I install PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS directly on an iPad or iPhone?
No native iOS or iPadOS version of the Windows PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS client is available. You can install PUBG MOBILE as a separate mobile game, or stream the PC version from your own Windows computer with remote desktop software such as DeskIn.
Is PUBG MOBILE the same game as PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on PC?
No. They are distinct products designed for different platforms. Their controls, content, matchmaking, purchases, and account systems should not be treated as interchangeable.
Does PUBG progress sync between mobile and PC?
Do not assume it does. Remote access preserves your PC progress because you are still using the PC account on the host. It does not transfer PUBG MOBILE progress to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Cross-progression and item migration also vary among PC and console platforms.
Can I play PUBG on a Mac with this method?
Yes, if you have a separate Windows gaming PC that runs PUBG. Install DeskIn on both computers and connect from the Mac to the Windows host. The Mac is the client; the Windows PC still runs the game. PUBG does not provide a native macOS client, and anti-cheat limits some virtualization approaches.
Can I use a controller while playing PUBG on an iPad?
DeskIn supports redirecting a compatible local controller to the remote PC on eligible setups. Pair the controller with the iPad, enable Gamepad Redirect in DeskIn, and verify all controls in PUBG Training Mode before joining a match.
Is PUBG remote play good enough for ranked matches?
It depends on the network and controls, but it is not the most reliable competitive setup. Ranked play is sensitive to latency, jitter, frame pacing, and precise input. Remote access is better suited to check-ins, menus, casual testing, and situations where portability matters more than peak responsiveness.
Can remote desktop software trigger PUBG anti-cheat?
Only PUBG and its anti-cheat providers can make an authoritative compatibility decision. Do not use macros or automation, check the current rules, and contact PUBG Support if you need confirmation for a specific setup. No third party can guarantee that a future policy or detection system will treat every configuration the same way.
Access your PUBG PC without confusing it with the mobile edition
Remote play is most useful when it solves a real access problem: you are traveling, a daily reward is about to expire, or your iPad is the only screen nearby. DeskIn lets the Windows PC continue doing the heavy work while your mobile device becomes the remote display and controller.
Start by downloading DeskIn Personal and testing a simple lobby or reward-claiming session at home. If you need the customized gaming keyboard, controller redirection, or higher frame-rate modes, compare DeskIn Personal plans and verify the current feature and device requirements before subscribing.
メイプルストーリーのスマホが熱い・操作しにくいときの対処法｜Artaleの動作を見直す
MapleStory Worlds内のArtaleをスマートフォンで遊んでいると、「端末が熱い」「動作が重い」「タッチ操作でジャンプやスキルを押し間違える」と感じることがあります。発熱、通信、ボタン配置は別々の問題なので、症状を分けて原因を探すことが大切です。
この記事ではArtaleのスマホプレイで起こりやすい悩みと対処法、DeskInで普段使っているPC版の画面をスマートフォンに表示し、操作する方法を解説します。
Artaleをスマホで遊ぶときによくある悩み
長時間プレイすると端末が熱くなり、バッテリーの減りが早くなる。
混雑したマップやスキルエフェクトの多い場面でフレーム落ちや動作の重さが気になる。
ログインやマップの読み込みに時間がかかる。
仮想スティックでは細かな移動、ジャンプ、ロープ操作が難しい。
指や画面上のボタンがキャラクター、足場、敵を隠してしまう。
移動・ジャンプ・攻撃・スキルの同時操作や、長時間の繰り返し操作で指が疲れる。
これらの症状は端末の温度、ゲームの更新、ネットワークやサーバーの状況など複数の要因で起こります。どの場面で再現するかを記録し、一つずつ切り分けましょう。
Artaleでスマホが熱くなる・動作が重くなる原因
ゲームの描画と通信による負荷
スマートフォンでArtaleを直接動かす場合、ゲーム処理、グラフィック描画、通信、画面表示、タッチ入力を同時に処理します。高画質、高フレームレート、多数のエフェクト、画面の明るさ、バックグラウンドアプリが負荷を増やすことがあります。
充電しながらのプレイ、厚いケース、直射日光や暑い部屋も温度上昇につながります。温度が高くなると端末が保護のため性能を抑え、フレームレートや操作の反応に影響することもあります。
小さな画面とタッチ操作の制約
仮想スティックは物理ボタンのような触覚がないため、短いジャンプや方向転換の精度が気になる場合があります。移動、ジャンプ、スキル、ポーション、メニューのボタンが限られた画面に並び、指が視界を隠すこともあります。
端末が熱くなくても操作しにくい場合は、画質設定だけでなくボタン配置や入力方法を見直しましょう。
Artaleの発熱・操作問題を改善：DeskInでPC版をリモートプレイ
普段からPCでMapleStory WorldsとArtaleを遊んでいる場合、DeskInで自宅のPCに接続し、iPhone・iPad・Androidでその画面を操作できます。ゲームの描画と処理はPCが担当し、スマートフォンは映像の表示と入力を行います。
PCにゲーム処理を任せる
スマートフォンでゲーム全体を直接描画する代わりに、PCの画面を受信して操作します。端末側の処理内容は変わりますが、スマートフォンは引き続き映像の再生、通信、画面表示を行うため、発熱がなくなるとは限りません。熱いと感じたときは中断して自然に冷ましましょう。
いつものPC画面とアカウントをそのまま使う
PCで使っているゲーム環境に接続するため、慣れたランチャー、アカウント、画面配置を確認できます。外出先で日課やアイテムを確認したいときにも便利です。ゲームの操作・利用規約に従い、禁止された自動操作やマクロは使わないでください。
高品質な接続と使いやすい操作
DeskInは高い接続品質、分かりやすい操作、価格と機能のバランスが強みです。ゲーム版はRTC＋VIP高速サーバーと4K 60fps／2K 240fpsに対応し、カスタムゲームキーボードや対応するゲームコントローラーも利用できます。料金とゲーム向け機能をご覧ください。
DeskInでスマホからArtaleを遊ぶ手順
自宅のPCでMapleStory WorldsとArtaleを更新し、通常どおり起動できることを確認します。
PCとスマートフォンにDeskInをインストールし、同じアカウントでログインします。
PCのスリープと無人アクセスを設定し、外出前に別のネットワークから接続を試します。
スマートフォンからPCを選んで接続し、ゲーム画面を表示します。
操作しやすい画質とフレームレートを選び、安全な場所で移動・ジャンプ・スキルをテストします。
PCゲームをスマートフォンから遊ぶ準備はAndroidでPCゲームを遊ぶ方法も参考になります。
Artaleのスマホ操作を調整する
画面上のゲームキーボードを配置する
スマートフォンからArtaleを起動したPCに接続し、ツールバーを開きます。
ゲームキーボードを選び、新しいレイアウトを作成します。
移動、ジャンプ、スキル、ポーションなど、PC側で使うキーを画面に配置します。
キャラクターや足場が指で隠れにくい位置へ動かし、サイズや透明度を調整します。
レイアウトを保存し、安全なマップで移動とジャンプ、頻繁に使うスキルを試します。
画面を横向きにし、指が届きやすい位置にボタンを配置すると、視界と操作の両方を確保しやすくなります。職業や使うスキルに合わせて配置を調整しましょう。
物理コントローラーを使う
対応するBluetoothまたは有線コントローラーをスマートフォンに接続し、DeskInでPCへ接続します。ゲームパッド信号のマッピングを確認し、移動、ジャンプ、攻撃、スキルを安全な場所で試します。自動マッピングが機能しない場合はDeskInのゲームパッド設定ガイドを参照してください。
スマホ版Artaleの発熱を抑えるために試したいこと
グラフィック品質、エフェクト、フレームレートを一段ずつ下げ、同じ場所で動作を比較する。
画面の明るさを調整し、録画や使っていないバックグラウンドアプリを終了する。
充電しながらのプレイ、直射日光、暑い部屋を避け、必要に応じて厚いケースを外す。
ゲームとOSを更新し、十分な空き容量と安定したネットワークを確保する。
長時間続けず休憩を取り、端末が熱くなったら使用を中断して自然に冷ます。
温度警告、充電停止、タッチ操作の異常、予期しないシャットダウン、バッテリーの膨張がある場合は使用を中止し、メーカーの案内に従ってください。急に冷やすことは避けましょう。Appleの端末温度に関する案内も参考になります。
出かける前にPCとネットワークをテスト
ホストPCでゲームが通常どおり起動し、DeskInに接続できることを確認します。PCのスリープ設定、アカウント認証、更新の終了を確認し、自宅以外のネットワークでも試してください。外出先からPCを起動したい場合は、事前にWindows 11のWake-on-LAN設定も確認できます。
Artaleの発熱とスマホ操作についてよくある質問
ArtaleとメイプルストーリーMは同じですか？
ArtaleはMapleStory Worlds内のコンテンツです。メイプルストーリーMとは別の製品なので、アカウントや進行状況が共有されると決めつけず、各サービスの公式説明を確認しましょう。
高性能なスマホでもArtaleが重いのはなぜですか？
端末性能だけでなく、発熱による性能制御、メモリ、ゲームの更新、通信やサーバーの状況、混雑したマップも影響します。設定を一つずつ変更し、同じ場所で比較しましょう。
DeskInを使えばスマホは熱くならなくなりますか？
いいえ。ゲーム処理はPCが行いますが、スマートフォンは映像の再生、通信、入力、画面表示を続けます。熱くなった場合はプレイを中断してください。
コントローラーを使えば遅延はなくなりますか？
物理ボタンで操作しやすくなる場合はありますが、ネットワーク遅延は残ります。PC、スマートフォン、回線を含めて実際の反応を確認しましょう。
まとめ：発熱と操作性を分けて見直そう
スマホ版Artaleの発熱には画質・充電・周囲の温度を、操作の難しさにはボタン配置や入力方法を見直すことが役立ちます。DeskInを使えば、普段のPC環境に高品質な接続でアクセスし、画面上のゲームキーボードや対応コントローラーを使って操作できます。DeskInをダウンロードして、使い慣れた環境で試してみましょう。

Try DeskIn for low‑latency remote streaming and explore VALORANT’s four core store systems wherever you are!
I. What Gift Packs Are Available in VALORANT
VALORANT features four independent item and skin acquisition systems, each with separate rules, reward pools, and refresh mechanics that do not interfere with one another: Limited‑time Night Market, permanent Daily Shop, Seasonal Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store.
Limited‑time Night Market**: An official occasional discount event. Every player gets 6 random skin discount cards whose contents cannot be changed once opened. Discounts range from 10%‑49%, and rewards vary per account. The reward pool only includes select weapon skins released for at least two Acts. Battle Pass skins, new collections, Ultimate skins, limited‑time series, and high‑value melee weapons are excluded.
Daily Shop: The game’s permanent store. Four random individual weapon skins refresh every early morning and cannot be manually reset. Most items sell at full price, while a few may feature temporary discounts. The pool covers most old and new weapon skins and serves as the main source for buying standalone skins. Certain limited and high‑tier items will not appear here.
Seasonal Battle Pass**: Updates every Act with free and premium reward tracks. Unlock the paid track to earn season‑exclusive skins, charms, sprays, kill effects and more. All content is season‑limited and will not enter the Night Market or regular shops. Rewards cannot be purchased or obtained retroactively once the season ends.
Kingdom Store：A free weekly‑rotating accessory shop refreshing every Wednesday. Each player receives 4 random accessories redeemable only with Kingdom Credits earned in‑game. VP purchases and discounts are unavailable. The pool brings back past Battle Pass accessories such as charms, sprays, player cards, and titles. Weapon skins are not offered here.

🛠️ Simple installation and login. One‑click connection, beginner‑friendly setup.
💻 Full cross‑OS PC support: Windows and Mac can both act as host machines to run the game and storefronts.
📱 Full mobile‑device coverage: Android, iPhone, and iPad support remote control to explore all four VALORANT store systems.

III. How to Log Into VALORANT and Claim Rewards on Mobile
Pre‑requisites (Windows PC)
Install the VALORANT client on your PC and log in to your Riot account. Fully update the game client and Vanguard anti‑cheat beforehand. Avoid pop‑up updates or restart prompts after remote connection that would block access to the Night Market, Daily Shop, Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store.
Download and install the DeskIn PC client from the official website. Register and log in to your personal DeskIn account. Keep DeskIn running in the background with your device online so your phone can initiate connections anytime.
Log Into VALORANT on Android Phones
Complete steps to browse stores and claim rewards from Android via DeskIn. DeskIn enables one‑click remote connections from Android devices. Check the Night Market, Daily Shop, Seasonal Battle Pass, and Kingdom Store without sitting at your desktop.
1. Download DeskIn Get the official DeskIn mobile client from legitimate Android channels. Log in using the exact same account as your PC to finish device pairing. Ensure stable network connectivity on both ends.
2. Establish a remote connection Launch DeskIn on your phone and select your online Windows/Mac host to start a connection. Switch your phone to landscape mode for a wider field of view to display the full in‑game store UI. Confirm desktop video loads properly and touch inputs respond smoothly. All game accounts and store data reside on your host PC; your mobile device only receives video and sends touch commands.
3. Explore the four store systems Launch VALORANT on your host PC and navigate freely between store pages:
✅ Limited‑time Night Market: Tap the Night Market icon in the upper right corner. Flip your 6 exclusive discount cards one by one. Note skin names, original prices, discounted prices, and discount percentages. Save screenshots of skins you like for later comparison. Card contents lock permanently once opened and cannot be reset.
✅ Daily Shop: Open the permanent store tab to view your four fresh daily weapon‑skin offerings, their styles and prices, and seize opportunities to buy standalone skins.
✅ Seasonal Battle Pass**: Enter the Battle Pass menu. Review free and premium track progress and unclaimed rewards. Decide whether to purchase the pass and secure limited‑time rewards before the Act concludes.
✅ Kingdom Store**: Navigate to the Kingdom Credit redemption page. Check the four weekly‑rotated accessories refreshed every Wednesday. See which charms, sprays, player cards, and titles you are missing and redeem for free with Kingdom Credits as desired.
Log Into VALORANT on iPhone / iPad
Full steps to browse stores and claim rewards on iPhone and iPad. Apple devices fully support remote access to all four VALORANT stores with simple operation and sharp visuals. Large‑screen iPads work especially well for examining skins and accessory details.
1. Pair accounts across devices Keep DeskIn installed and logged‑in on your PC with the host device online. Download official DeskIn from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the identical DeskIn account to complete pairing. Log into your correct Riot account on the PC ahead of time. All four store datasets are account‑bound; logging into the wrong account will show incorrect personal store content.
2. Connect to your host PC from iOS Open DeskIn on your phone or tablet and select your Windows/Mac host to establish a remote session. Always use landscape orientation. Compact iPhones suit quick card‑opening, price‑checking and store refreshes. Large‑screen iPads deliver ample viewing space for weapon‑model animations, Battle‑Pass reward previews, and accessory previews.
3. Operate all store features Launch VALORANT and toggle between store pages: inspect Night Market discounted skins, verify Daily Shop rotations, check Battle‑Pass progression and time‑limited rewards, and view weekly Kingdom Store free accessories. Note: Night Market discounts apply only to base skins. Additional variants and upgrades require separate Radianite Points purchases, with discounts peaking at 49%.
Log Into VALORANT on Mac Computers
VALORANT has no native Mac build. Mac users can run the game inside a virtual machine or cloud‑hosted Windows environment and still access the complete suite of four stores.
1. Set up a stable Windows environment. Install VALORANT and log into your Riot account. Complete all game and anti‑cheat updates to guarantee the store UI loads correctly.
2. Install the DeskIn desktop client on macOS. Log in using the same DeskIn account used by your mobile device. Treat your Windows virtual machine running VALORANT as the controlled host machine and keep DeskIn online. You may now remotely view all store content from your phone.
IV. VALORANT Recommended Settings
Mobile Phones
You are only browsing stores, skins and accessories, not competing in matches. Prioritize stability, smoothness, and clarity.
- Stay in landscape mode to properly fit the store UI and avoid cropped visuals.
- Choose 720P / 1080P resolution to balance sharpness and performance.
- Prefer 5GHz / 6GHz high‑speed Wi‑Fi to reduce latency and network jitter.
- If touch feels sluggish or video stutters, lower bitrate and resolution to preserve stability.
- Pause PC downloads, system updates, and game updates during remote sessions to free network bandwidth.
- Reposition virtual touch overlays so they do not block Night Market cards, Daily Shop skins, Battle‑Pass rewards, or Kingdom Store redemption buttons.
- Take screenshots after browsing to compare skins and plan purchases and redemptions.
- Double‑check your logged‑in account, VP balance, and Kingdom‑Credit balance before paying or redeeming to prevent mis‑operations.
Tablets
Large tablet screens render details more completely and deliver superior viewing for skin animations, accessory assets, and Battle‑Pass rewards. Optimized settings for tablets:
- Lock full‑screen landscape orientation to maximize store‑UI visibility.
- Set resolution to 1080P‑1440P to faithfully reproduce weapon lighting, animations, and accessory textures.
- Connect your host PC via Ethernet cable to eliminate network fluctuation for maximum stability.
- Use stable private Wi‑Fi on your tablet; avoid public networks that cause latency and disconnections.
- Prioritize visual quality over extremely high frame rates for viewing‑focused usage.
- Moderately reduce bitrate during minor network fluctuations to maintain smooth playback.
- Custom‑place virtual touch controls away from purchase and redemption buttons to prevent accidental taps.
Iconic animated collections such as Reaver, Oni, Ion, Gaia’s Vengeance, and Glitchpop, plus Battle‑Pass exclusive effect items, show off richer animations and finer details on tablets.
V. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will store content seen through DeskIn differ from what I see directly on my home PC?
A: Exactly the same. Night Market, shop, and Battle‑Pass data sync in real‑time with your account. No discrepancies occur.
Q2: Text and skin details look washed‑out when browsing stores on a tablet. How do I fix this?
A: Adjust color profile and zoom level. Static‑view detail rendering will become clearer and more comfortable.
Q3: Am I at risk of anti‑cheat flags if I only browse stores remotely with DeskIn and do not play matches?
A: Pure video streaming does not modify game files. Store‑only browsing carries no risk. Remote competitive gameplay is not recommended by the official stance.
Q4: Can I keep my PC monitor turned off to save power and still remotely open VALORANT to browse stores?
A: Enable the virtual‑display feature. You can capture video and navigate the shop even with your physical monitor powered off.
Q5: If I travel abroad and connect back home via DeskIn to view new cosmetics, will this trigger cross‑region verification?
A: The game detects your host PC’s home‑region IP, so cross‑region locks and security checks will not trigger.
Q6: Accidental taps happen when navigating stores with mobile touch inputs. What can I do?
A: Customize your virtual‑button layout, or pair a Bluetooth mouse for far more precise control.
Q7: If I regularly check the Kingdom Store and Battle Pass remotely, do reward‑return rules match those on PC?
A: Rules are identical. Kingdom‑store accessories rotate back periodically. Battle‑Pass items become permanently unobtainable once their Act ends.
Q8: Will account conflicts happen if I switch remote connections between a Windows PC and a Mac PC to view stores?
A: The same Riot account cannot run VALORANT on two hosts simultaneously. Close one instance before switching. All data remains interoperable.
VI. Summary
VALORANT’s four reward systems each serve distinct purposes. Whether you are away from home or without a computer, DeskIn streams high‑definition, low‑latency VALORANT footage from Windows or Mac hosts to Android, iPhone, and iPad devices. Flip Night Market cards, check Daily Shop rotations, track Battle‑Pass progression, and redeem free Kingdom Store accessories on‑the‑go. Never miss discounts or limited‑time loot.
