Greenlight vs Razer PC Remote Play

Greenlight is a free, open-source client for Xbox Cloud Gaming and streaming from Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. It carries console video and audio, with gamepad and keyboard controls; rumble is supported on xCloud. An online friends list shows which friends are currently online. Greenlight is made with JavaScript and TypeScript, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its WebUI can also make the client available over a network to devices using Chromium-based browsers. Downloads are offered as Flathub installations and precompiled release binaries. The V2 release is in maintenance mode: its developers plan critical bug fixes but no new features. Version 2.4.0 changed authentication from XAL to MSAL and added English, Russian, and Ukrainian localization; German was added in version 2.4.2. The application is reported to work on Steam Deck, with some small bugs and side effects. Greenlight says it is not affiliated with Microsoft, Xbox, or Moonlight.

Razer PC Remote Play streams games from a Windows PC to mobile devices and lets users browse and launch PC games remotely. It supports libraries including Steam, Epic, PC Game Pass and other PC game libraries. The stream adjusts to the mobile device’s maximum resolution and refresh rate. Razer Cortex Mobile can configure games, customize controls, record and share gameplay, and update controllers. Pairing uses Razer Cortex on the PC with Razer PC Remote Play and Cortex Mobile, through a Razer ID or PIN. Initial pairing requires both devices on the same network; later remote play depends on home-network configuration and enabled UPnP. Razer lists 15 Mbps as the minimum bandwidth and recommends more than 30 Mbps for ideal play. The PC download supports Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11. Mobile requirements are described as iOS 18 and Android 14 or later, while the FAQ lists iOS 18 and Android 12 or above. The service is free, though some Cortex Mobile apps may require payment.
