In their own words
LunarNX
LunarNX is free, open-source Nintendo Switch homebrew software for Xbox Remote Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PlayStation Remote Play. It connects Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, paired PS4 and PS5 systems, and the Xbox Cloud Gaming library with recent titles, search, and playback. PlayStation functions include local discovery, pairing, console wake-up, and remote PS5 discovery through PlayStation Network. Xbox and PlayStation sessions offer 720p, 1080p, and 1080p HQ profiles, hardware-accelerated H.264, and low-latency audio; PS5 also supports HEVC. Controls include separate button mappings, PlayStation touchpad gestures, Switch motion forwarding, and supported rumble or DualSense haptics as Switch vibration. The interface supports English and two Chinese variants. A homebrew-capable Switch, Homebrew Menu title-override/full-memory mode, and stable 5 GHz Wi-Fi or wired networking are required. Streaming depends on account permissions, console settings, NAT, network quality, and service availability.
