How It Works

Your PC does the heavy lifting. We just send the pixels.

2. WAN

Your gameplay is streamed securely over the internet from the Data Center directly to your home with optimized compression.

3. Maximizer Client

Play on your couch, in bed, or on the patio. Connect a controller and enjoy seamless gaming.

What is Maximizer Client?

Maximizer Client is a specialized implementation of the open-source Moonlight PC client, designed specifically for the Maximum Settings cloud gaming service. We have not altered Moonlight’s core streaming architecture. Instead, this fork adds Maximum Settings integrations and usability improvements to provide a smoother, more user-friendly experience for our subscribers.
