 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing: Why DeskIn Beats AnyDesk, TeamViewer & Parsec

Remote work didn’t just change how teams collaborate: it transformed how game testing gets done.

Today’s QA teams are global, developers work across time zones, and playtests happen far beyond a single studio. That makes screen sharing no longer optional, but essential. The challenge is that most remote tools weren’t built for real gameplay. They lag, drop frames, and blur the details QA teams rely on.

DeskIn is different. It’s engineered for high-FPS visuals, ultra-low latency, and accurate gameplay feedback, making it a modern screen-sharing solution built specifically for remote game testing and remote gameplay.

Let’s break down why DeskIn is quickly becoming the best screen-sharing tool for game developers, and why tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and even Parsec fall short for serious QA work.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Real Use Cases in Game QA & Development, Why Need a Screen Sharing Tool?

Remote screen sharing has moved from a "nice-to-have" to a critical, indispensable tool in modern game Quality Assurance (QA). Its adoption is driven by fundamental shifts in how games are developed, tested, and collaborated on.

Here’s a breakdown of why it's now essential:

  • Real-time bug reproduction
    QA shares live gameplay while developers observe inputs and system behavior, allowing issues to be reproduced and fixed immediately: no back-and-forth recordings required.

  • VFX and visual review
    Teams review lighting, shaders, and effects with crisp color accuracy during screen sharing for game testing, without compression hiding defects. 

  • Remote prototype playtesting
    Testers play early builds remotely, enabling fast feedback without large downloads or complex setup using remote game testing software.

  • Cross-play testing (mobile & PC)
    Teams can test mobile and PC gameplay side by side, mirroring mobile screens to desktop while validating controls, UI behavior, and performance across platforms, an essential use case for remote QA tools.

  • Animation timing review
    Animation teams benefit from high-FPS streaming to review movement and timing frame by frame. Subtle issues in transitions, hit reactions, or camera motion are easier to spot when playback is smooth and accurate.

  • Multiplayer latency testing
    QA can conduct latency and synchronization tests while developers watch live sessions. This helps teams identify network-related issues faster using effective remote dev tools.

  • Secure external QA access
    External QA partners can securely access builds and testing environments through DeskIn, making collaboration smoother while keeping pre-release content protected.

Modern Tools Elevating the Practice

Today’s game testing workflows rely on tools that go far beyond simple screen viewing solutions like Zoom. Modern remote platforms such as DeskIn, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and Parsec introduce capabilities specifically designed to support game QA. 

Choosing the right tool comes down to which features best support real-time testing and collaboration, including:

  • High frame rate and low latency — critical for spotting fast-paced visual bugs and timing-sensitive issues.

  • Remote input control — allows developers to take over instantly and test hypotheses without lengthy explanations.

  • Built-in file transfer — enables quick delivery of new builds, patches, or configuration files.

  • Real-time screen mirroring — makes it easy to share bug reproduction steps for immediate analysis.

  • Audio calls and whiteboard tools — support clear communication and visual guidance without relying on third-party apps.

Together, these features transform remote sessions into efficient, collaborative QA environments, bringing teams closer to the feel of in-studio testing.

Which Screen Sharing Tool is Best for Game QA

Choosing the right screen sharing tool can make the difference between a lengthy, ambiguous bug report and a swift, precise fix.

For Game QA, the ideal solution must go beyond basic screen viewing; it needs to deliver high visual fidelity, ultra-low latency, cross-platform compatibility, and interactive control to keep up with the real-time, detail-sensitive nature of game testing.

Why Gamers Use Remote Desktop Software

Gamers don’t switch to remote desktop software for gaming just because it sounds cool: they use it because it solves real, everyday problems in ways traditional setups simply can’t. Here are the most common (and honestly, most relatable) reasons players are embracing remote access:

  • Play high-end games on a low-end device
    As it turns out, a MacBook, Chromebook, or iPad can’t run AAA games by itself, but if you use remote desktop software to stream the game from a PC you own with good hardware, these devices turn into portable high-end gaming screens. It offloads the computation-intensive rendering work to your main PC and then just streams over the action to your secondary device.

  • Game while traveling
    Business trips, holidays, vacations; none need to interrupt gaming when you have a stable remote gaming setup going. You can complete some work at a hotel desk and then dive right into your Steam library without having to lug around a heavy gaming laptop or desktop tower through the airport. Remote access keeps your gaming routine alive, no matter the time zone.

  • Maximize mobility
    Modern remote desktop software for gamers makes it incredibly easy to play from a phone or tablet. Just pair a controller or use touch input, and the device becomes a portable gaming machine. Perfect for casual sessions on the couch, during commutes, or while relaxing between flights.

  • Access your full Steam/Battle.net/EPIC library remotely
    Unlike cloud gaming, which often limits you to curated catalogs, remote desktop software streams your entire PC exactly as it is. Mods, custom settings, experimental builds, add-ons, indie games, everything stays intact. Your entire library travels with you without any platform restrictions.

  • No need to buy multiple gaming PCs
    Instead of investing in multiple PCs for different locations or devices, gamers rely on remote desktop software for gaming to stretch the value of a single high-spec rig. From tablets to old laptops, anything becomes a viable gaming screen. This approach saves money, simplifies setups, and makes remote play feel seamless and efficient.

  • Game developers testing builds remotely
    Developers can run heavy builds on a workstation and test gameplay, performance, or UI remotely from a laptop or tablet. This is especially useful for quick QA checks, debugging, or testing across different environments without constantly switching machines.

  • Project mobile games onto a bigger screen
    Remote access also makes it easy to project mobile games onto a larger display. Developers, streamers, and testers can mirror mobile gameplay to a PC or monitor for better visibility, recording, or live demonstrations. Using remote desktop software, mobile games become easier to analyze, present, and refine on a full-sized screen.

Key Features of Remote Desktop Software for Gaming

The best remote desktop software for gaming doesn’t just give you access to your PC on another system: it gives you access to both the strength of your host device and a finely tuned gaming experience, all in one package.

DeskIn vs Other Remote Desktop Tools

When comparing remote desktop software for gaming, the differences become obvious fast. Some tools work well on a local network, some are meant for office tasks, and some lock you into limited game catalogs. DeskIn stands apart because it’s built specifically for high-performance remote gaming, not generic screen sharing.

Here’s how it compares to the usual options:

  • DeskIn – Designed for high-performance remote gaming
    Built for low latency, high FPS streaming, crisp visuals, and accurate input. It supports any game in your library with no platform restrictions and works smoothly across PC, Mac, Android, iPad, and more.

  • Steam Link – Great for Steam-only games, but limited beyond LAN
    Steam Link works nicely on the same network, but quickly struggles with latency over long distances. It also supports only Steam titles, leaving out Epic, Battle.net, standalone launchers, and modded games.

  • TeamViewer – Too slow for real gaming
    TeamViewer is excellent for remote support and business use, but not for gaming. High latency, low FPS, and aggressive compression make fast gameplay nearly impossible.

  • Chrome Remote Desktop – Not optimized for games
    CRD is great for quick access to files or simple tasks, but lacks the frame rate, input precision, and color quality that remote desktop software for gaming demands. Even casual games feel sluggish.

  • Cloud gaming platforms – Limited game libraries + ongoing subscription costs
    Services like GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or Boosteroid depend on supported titles. Mods, custom files, and personal libraries often won’t work. Plus, you pay a monthly fee and compete with server availability.

Across all these comparisons, the difference is clear: DeskIn gives you full freedom, zero restrictions, and higher performance. Your entire PC becomes your remote gaming rig: no locked library, no extra fees, and no hardware limits.

DeskIn fits anyone who wants high-quality remote desktop software for gaming without limits. Try DeskIn for free today, turn any device into a gaming powerhouse.

Transfer photos from Android to iPhone

How to Transfer Photos from Android to iPhone Fast with DeskIn

Switching phones is exciting, until you need to move your photos. Suddenly, nothing feels simple. The cables don’t match, sharing apps compress your images into blurry blobs, and cloud uploads take ages (especially with 4K videos).

If you’ve been Googling how to transfer photos from Android to iPhone without losing your photo quality, this guide has your answer.

We’ll walk through all the common methods people use, highlight their pros and cons, and show you the fastest, most reliable option: DeskIn, a cross-device remote access and file transfer tool that moves your pictures in seconds with zero compression.

Transfer Photos from Android to iPhone Fast with DeskIn

Why Transferring Photos Between Android and iPhone is Usually a Hassle

Here are the biggest pain points:

  • Different Cables That Never Match
    Android uses USB-C while many iPhones use Lightning. Most people don’t have a cable that connects both devices directly, and even when you do, not all transfer methods support cross-platform use.

  • Bluetooth is Technically There, but Practically Useless
    Pairing might work, but transferring photos is painfully slow and unreliable. Even one high-resolution picture can take forever, making Bluetooth impossible for albums or videos.

  • AirDrop Doesn’t Work Across Ecosystems
    AirDrop is fast, smooth, and magical if you only use Apple devices. Android is completely locked out, so you can’t AirDrop your photos at all.

  • Messaging Apps Destroy Photo Quality
    LINE, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram heavily compress images. Your crisp, 12MP travel photo turns into a pixelated, blurry version of itself.

  • Cloud Uploads Take Too Long
    Google Photos, Drive, and Dropbox require uploading first (slow) and then downloading again (also slow). Uploading 300 vacation photos over Wi-Fi can take hours, and sometimes cloud services reduce image quality unless you manually choose “original.”

  • Sending Large Albums is a Nightmare
    Most apps aren’t designed for bulk movement. Sending 300–500 photos one by one is tedious, and many apps fail if the connection drops.

  • Phone Switching Tools Aren’t Flexible
    Tools like Move to iOS only work during initial setup, often fail midway, and can’t selectively transfer certain albums or custom folders.

These pains just lead most users to spend the whole day trying to send photos from Android to iPhone, or giving up entirely.

There has to be something faster, right? There is.

Other Ways to Transfer Photos from Android to iPhone 

DeskIn is the fastest solution, but let’s go through other commonly used methods so you understand the differences.

Method 1 — Move to iOS App

Apple’s official migration tool is often the first method people try when Googling how to transfer photos from Android to iPhone. It can get the job done, but only under very specific conditions.

Pros:

  • Works during initial iPhone setup

  • Moves photos along with contacts and messages

Cons:

  • Can’t be used after iPhone setup

  • Slow with large albums

  • Frequently fails or stalls

  • Requires both devices to stay on the same Wi-Fi network

  • No selective transfer, you must move everything

Moving to iOS is fine for a brand-new iPhone, but not ideal if you just want to transfer photos from Android to iPhone later.

Method 2 — Google Photos Backup

Google Photos is a reliable cloud method for people comfortable with cloud storage. It works across ecosystems, but speed and quality depend heavily on your internet connection.

Pros:

  • Easy access across devices

  • Backups stay in the cloud for long-term storage

Cons:

  • Slow upload and download times

  • May compress photos unless set to “Original Quality”

  • Requires strong Wi-Fi or large data usage

  • Not ideal for large 4K videos or bulk transfers

Google Photos is a good fallback, but not a fast one.

Method 3 — WhatsApp, Messenger, or LINE

Messaging apps are convenient for sending a photo or two, especially when you’re chatting with someone already. But they’re not built for quality-preserving transfers.

Pros:

  • Simple for quick sharing

  • Good for casual, low-priority images

Cons:

  • Heavy compression destroys clarity

  • Not suitable for albums or high-resolution photos

  • Video quality drops significantly

These apps should only be used when quality doesn’t matter.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing: Why DeskIn Beats AnyDesk, TeamViewer & Parsec

Remote work didn’t just change how teams collaborate: it transformed how game testing gets done.

Today’s QA teams are global, developers work across time zones, and playtests happen far beyond a single studio. That makes screen sharing no longer optional, but essential. The challenge is that most remote tools weren’t built for real gameplay. They lag, drop frames, and blur the details QA teams rely on.

DeskIn is different. It’s engineered for high-FPS visuals, ultra-low latency, and accurate gameplay feedback, making it a modern screen-sharing solution built specifically for remote game testing and remote gameplay.

Let’s break down why DeskIn is quickly becoming the best screen-sharing tool for game developers, and why tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and even Parsec fall short for serious QA work.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Real Use Cases in Game QA & Development, Why Need a Screen Sharing Tool?

Remote screen sharing has moved from a "nice-to-have" to a critical, indispensable tool in modern game Quality Assurance (QA). Its adoption is driven by fundamental shifts in how games are developed, tested, and collaborated on.

Here’s a breakdown of why it's now essential:

  • Real-time bug reproduction
    QA shares live gameplay while developers observe inputs and system behavior, allowing issues to be reproduced and fixed immediately: no back-and-forth recordings required.

  • VFX and visual review
    Teams review lighting, shaders, and effects with crisp color accuracy during screen sharing for game testing, without compression hiding defects. 

  • Remote prototype playtesting
    Testers play early builds remotely, enabling fast feedback without large downloads or complex setup using remote game testing software.

  • Cross-play testing (mobile & PC)
    Teams can test mobile and PC gameplay side by side, mirroring mobile screens to desktop while validating controls, UI behavior, and performance across platforms, an essential use case for remote QA tools.

  • Animation timing review
    Animation teams benefit from high-FPS streaming to review movement and timing frame by frame. Subtle issues in transitions, hit reactions, or camera motion are easier to spot when playback is smooth and accurate.

  • Multiplayer latency testing
    QA can conduct latency and synchronization tests while developers watch live sessions. This helps teams identify network-related issues faster using effective remote dev tools.

  • Secure external QA access
    External QA partners can securely access builds and testing environments through DeskIn, making collaboration smoother while keeping pre-release content protected.

Modern Tools Elevating the Practice

Today’s game testing workflows rely on tools that go far beyond simple screen viewing solutions like Zoom. Modern remote platforms such as DeskIn, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and Parsec introduce capabilities specifically designed to support game QA. 

Choosing the right tool comes down to which features best support real-time testing and collaboration, including:

  • High frame rate and low latency — critical for spotting fast-paced visual bugs and timing-sensitive issues.

  • Remote input control — allows developers to take over instantly and test hypotheses without lengthy explanations.

  • Built-in file transfer — enables quick delivery of new builds, patches, or configuration files.

  • Real-time screen mirroring — makes it easy to share bug reproduction steps for immediate analysis.

  • Audio calls and whiteboard tools — support clear communication and visual guidance without relying on third-party apps.

Together, these features transform remote sessions into efficient, collaborative QA environments, bringing teams closer to the feel of in-studio testing.

Which Screen Sharing Tool is Best for Game QA

Choosing the right screen sharing tool can make the difference between a lengthy, ambiguous bug report and a swift, precise fix.

For Game QA, the ideal solution must go beyond basic screen viewing; it needs to deliver high visual fidelity, ultra-low latency, cross-platform compatibility, and interactive control to keep up with the real-time, detail-sensitive nature of game testing. 

Below, we break down what to look for and compare top contenders shaping how modern game teams test.

DeskIn

DeskIn is designed around real game testing workflows, not just office tasks. Its features focus on what QA teams and developers actually need: low latency, high FPS, visual accuracy, and smooth collaboration.

AnyDesk is primarily designed for IT support and remote troubleshooting, which limits its effectiveness for screen sharing for game testing.

  • Cross-platform compatibility: Supports Windows, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, SUSE, Mint), Android, iOS/iPadOS, plus specialized platforms like Raspberry Pi and ChromeOS.

  • Image quality & FPS: Supports up to 60 FPS, which is often insufficient for reviewing fast animations, camera motion, or combat flow.

  • Latency: Acceptable for support tasks (typically around 80–120ms), but inconsistent for timing-sensitive gameplay such as combat, physics interactions, or input validation.

  • Network stability: Generally stable for light workloads, but performance degrades under GPU-heavy scenes.

  • External device adaptation: Does not support game controllers, limiting accurate input and control testing.

  • Interactive features: Basic remote control; lacks advanced collaboration features tailored for QA.

  • File transfer speed: Supported, but slower and less integrated into rapid QA iteration cycles.

TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a strong enterprise remote access tool, but its business-first design creates friction for real-time game QA.

  • Cross-platform compatibility: Supports Windows, macOS, Linux (including Ubuntu, Debian, Raspberry Pi), Android, iOS, and iPadOS.

  • Image quality & FPS: Resolution is auto-adjusted based on network conditions, which can reduce clarity during fast gameplay or visual reviews. 

  • Latency: Higher baseline latency, which becomes obvious during fast-paced or competitive gameplay testing.

  • Network stability: Stable for meetings and management tasks, but less reliable during long playtests or open-world stress testing.

  • External device adaptation: Does not support game controllers, limiting realism for gameplay input testing.

  • Interactive features: Strong for meetings and presentations, but lacks QA-focused interaction like seamless gameplay takeover.

  • File transfer speed: Supported at low speed, with a single file size limited to under 4GB, which can be restrictive for large builds.

Parsec

Parsec comes closer to gaming needs, but still has gaps for structured QA and dev pipelines.

  • Cross-platform compatibility: Strong on Windows and macOS; mobile and broader cross-system workflows are more limited.

  • Image quality & FPS: Capable of high FPS (Max at 4K60FPS) streaming, but visual quality and color fidelity depend heavily on manual configuration.

  • Latency: Low latency (50-80 ms) when well-tuned, but performance varies based on network setup and user expertise.

  • Network stability: Performs well in controlled environments, but requires tuning for consistent results across teams.

  • External device adaptation: Supports controllers, but setup can vary and may require additional configuration.

  • Interactive features: Focused on gameplay streaming rather than full QA collaboration (logs, builds, multi-device testing).

  • File transfer speed: Does not support built-in file transfer, requiring third-party tools for builds and logs.

How Remote Desktop Software for Gaming Improves Productivity & Play

Remote gaming isn’t just a niche tool anymore; it’s becoming the new normal lifestyle. Gamers today want to play wherever they are: on a low-spec laptop, a tablet, or even a phone. But here’s the catch: high-end gaming rigs are expensive, heavy, and definitely not travel-friendly. That’s where remote desktop software for gaming steps in, letting you tap into the power of your home gaming PC from literally anywhere.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud: Not every remote desktop software can handle gaming, especially fast, competitive titles. Some introduce lag, input delay, or washed-out graphics that absolutely ruin the experience.

That’s why new-gen solutions like DeskIn have emerged, tools built specifically to deliver low-latency remote desktop, high FPS, crisp color, and real gaming control, not just “screen access”.

Why Gamers Use Remote Desktop Software

Gamers don’t switch to remote desktop software for gaming just because it sounds cool: they use it because it solves real, everyday problems in ways traditional setups simply can’t. Here are the most common (and honestly, most relatable) reasons players are embracing remote access:

  • Play high-end games on a low-end device
    As it turns out, a MacBook, Chromebook, or iPad can’t run AAA games by itself, but if you use remote desktop software to stream the game from a PC you own with good hardware, these devices turn into portable high-end gaming screens. It offloads the computation-intensive rendering work to your main PC and then just streams over the action to your secondary device.

  • Game while traveling
    Business trips, holidays, vacations; none need to interrupt gaming when you have a stable remote gaming setup going. You can complete some work at a hotel desk and then dive right into your Steam library without having to lug around a heavy gaming laptop or desktop tower through the airport. Remote access keeps your gaming routine alive, no matter the time zone.

  • Maximize mobility
    Modern remote desktop software for gamers makes it incredibly easy to play from a phone or tablet. Just pair a controller or use touch input, and the device becomes a portable gaming machine. Perfect for casual sessions on the couch, during commutes, or while relaxing between flights.

  • Access your full Steam/Battle.net/EPIC library remotely
    Unlike cloud gaming, which often limits you to curated catalogs, remote desktop software streams your entire PC exactly as it is. Mods, custom settings, experimental builds, add-ons, indie games, everything stays intact. Your entire library travels with you without any platform restrictions.

  • No need to buy multiple gaming PCs
    Instead of investing in multiple PCs for different locations or devices, gamers rely on remote desktop software for gaming to stretch the value of a single high-spec rig. From tablets to old laptops, anything becomes a viable gaming screen. This approach saves money, simplifies setups, and makes remote play feel seamless and efficient.

  • Game developers testing builds remotely
    Developers can run heavy builds on a workstation and test gameplay, performance, or UI remotely from a laptop or tablet. This is especially useful for quick QA checks, debugging, or testing across different environments without constantly switching machines.

  • Project mobile games onto a bigger screen
    Remote access also makes it easy to project mobile games onto a larger display. Developers, streamers, and testers can mirror mobile gameplay to a PC or monitor for better visibility, recording, or live demonstrations. Using remote desktop software, mobile games become easier to analyze, present, and refine on a full-sized screen.

Key Features of Remote Desktop Software for Gaming

The best remote desktop software for gaming doesn’t just give you access to your PC on another system: it gives you access to both the strength of your host device and a finely tuned gaming experience, all in one package. These are the core elements that contribute to the polished, playable feel of remote gaming.

Ultra-Low Latency

Latency determines whether a game feels responsive or frustrating. In shooting and MOBA games, or skill-based competitive ones too, the delay of over 40ms could disrupt aim and timing. Modern low-latency remote desktop tools, including optimized platforms like DeskIn, use advanced protocols to reduce input delays and keep gameplay tight and reactive.

High FPS Support (144–240FPS)

Many standard remote access apps cap FPS at 30–60, which isn’t enough for fast-paced games. High FPS means smoother camera movement, cleaner motion, and better precision. Today’s gaming-focused platforms support 120FPS+, with some solutions streaming up to 2K144FPS for near-native fluidity.

High Resolution 

Remote gaming benefits massively from crisp detail, especially in 4K titles or visually heavy worlds. Older tools often compress visuals into blurry text and washed-out colors. Newer remote desktop software for gaming maintains sharper resolution and better color fidelity, offering clearer textures and more accurate UI readability.

Accurate Keyboard, Controller & Mouse Input

Fast input recognition is essential. This consistency is essential for any game that demands timing and precision. A well-optimized remote desktop software for gamers should ensure that every input is transmitted cleanly, avoiding ghost touches or lag spikes that disrupt the flow of gameplay.

Stable Network Optimization

Network stability plays a massive role in remote gaming performance. Many people assume remote play always means lag, but modern platforms prove otherwise.

These systems help maintain smooth gameplay even when Wi-Fi conditions fluctuate. Instead of sudden freezes or pixelation, the software dynamically adjusts to keep the experience stable.

DeskIn: The Best Remote Desktop Software for Gaming Right Now

DeskIn stands out as one of the most performance-focused options in the remote desktop software for the gaming space. It’s engineered for speed, clarity, and responsiveness: the things that actually matter when you’re playing fast, demanding games instead of just accessing a desktop.

DeskIn vs Other Remote Desktop Tools

When comparing remote desktop software for gaming, the differences become obvious fast. Some tools work well on a local network, some are meant for office tasks, and some lock you into limited game catalogs. DeskIn stands apart because it’s built specifically for high-performance remote gaming, not generic screen sharing.

Here’s how it compares to the usual options:

  • DeskIn – Designed for high-performance remote gaming
    Built for low latency, high FPS streaming, crisp visuals, and accurate input. It supports any game in your library with no platform restrictions and works smoothly across PC, Mac, Android, iPad, and more.

  • Steam Link – Great for Steam-only games, but limited beyond LAN
    Steam Link works nicely on the same network, but quickly struggles with latency over long distances. It also supports only Steam titles, leaving out Epic, Battle.net, standalone launchers, and modded games.

  • TeamViewer – Too slow for real gaming
    TeamViewer is excellent for remote support and business use, but not for gaming. High latency, low FPS, and aggressive compression make fast gameplay nearly impossible.

  • Chrome Remote Desktop – Not optimized for games
    CRD is great for quick access to files or simple tasks, but lacks the frame rate, input precision, and color quality that remote desktop software for gaming demands. Even casual games feel sluggish.

  • Cloud gaming platforms – Limited game libraries + ongoing subscription costs
    Services like GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or Boosteroid depend on supported titles. Mods, custom files, and personal libraries often won’t work. Plus, you pay a monthly fee and compete with server availability.

Across all these comparisons, the difference is clear: DeskIn gives you full freedom, zero restrictions, and higher performance. Your entire PC becomes your remote gaming rig: no locked library, no extra fees, and no hardware limits.

DeskIn fits anyone who wants high-quality remote desktop software for gaming without limits. Try DeskIn for free today, turn any device into a gaming powerhouse.
