PARSEC Stream PC games around your home

Raspberry Pi computers have become increasingly popular since their first appearance, but remain far too low a spec for serious gaming. However, thanks to game streaming software like Parsec, you can play games on any TV in your home, streaming the title from a dedicated gaming PC through a suitable Raspberry Pi. The result is a slick gaming experience that to all intents and purposes looks as though it is running on the Pi.

While a similar experience can be enjoyed with the Steam Link software from Valve (which turns the Raspberry Pi into a version of the now-discontinued Steam Link box), Parsec adds some useful features to enhance the gaming experience.

By the time you’ve set this up, you’ll be re-evaluating just how you game on.
