Why stream it

Every other way to play has a catch

Here's how renting real hardware by the hour compares.

Buy a console + game

65,000+

  • Huge upfront cost before you play once
  • Stock shortages and day-one waitlists
  • Gathers dust between big releases
Gaming café

Travel + hourly

  • Your saves get wiped — progress lost on a shared PC
  • No privacy, and you have to leave home
  • Pay for travel and time, not just play
Console By The Hour

From 100/hr

  • Play from home, pay only for the hours you use
  • Your own private profile — progress is saved for you
  • Runs on the laptop you already own — no new hardware
No expensive rig

Your current laptop is enough

The heavy lifting happens on our hardware. Your device just shows the video and sends your controller input.

No big spend

Skip the console, the graphics card, and the 100 GB install. Book a slot and play tonight.

No powerful GPU

A basic laptop, old PC, Mac, or Steam Deck runs it fine — all the rendering is on our end.

No lost progress

Unlike a café's shared machines, you get a private guest profile that keeps your saves.

All you need: ~20 Mbps internet and a controller. That's it.
How it works

From booking to playing in five steps

No technical setup beyond two free apps, once. Here's the whole journey.

1

Reserve your slot

Pick a date and time on the calendar, choose how many hours — your slot holds while you join Discord to confirm the game and pay by QR.

2

Get your invite

We email your booking confirmation and, before your slot, the connection details and a quick setup guide.

3

Install Tailscale & Moonlight

Two free apps on your PC, Mac, or Steam Deck — Tailscale connects you to your session, Moonlight streams it. Plug in a controller. Takes a few minutes, first time only.

4

Connect at your time

At your slot, connect and you're dropped straight into the game on real console hardware — no downloads, no installs.

5

Play

Enjoy your session. Your progress is saved to your private guest profile so you can pick up where you left off.

Pricing

Simple hourly rates

Pay per hour — no subscriptions, no lock-in. Exact price depends on the game and demand, confirmed with you before you pay.

100/hr and up

Bookings open Sat, 3 Oct, 2026 — try the free demo now, or register for early access to lock in a launch discount.

FAQ

Questions, answered

A private, timed session on real console hardware, streamed to your device over a low-latency connection. You get a dedicated guest profile so your progress stays separate from everyone else's.

A Windows PC, Mac, or Steam Deck, the free Moonlight and Tailscale apps, any modern game controller (wired or Bluetooth), and a stable internet connection of 20+ Mbps (wired is best). Keyboard-and-mouse isn't supported.

It's a well-known, free networking app that securely connects your device to your session — no router setup or port forwarding on your end. It's a one-time install; we send you a one-time key before every session so only you can connect.

We host on wired fibre with hardware encoding, so most players on a solid connection see console-like responsiveness. We recommend running a quick network test before your first session.

Yes. You never touch our accounts or desktop — the session is sandboxed to the game only, and you play on an isolated guest profile. Payment is by UPI/QR directly to us, so we never see your card or bank details.

Your guest profile keeps your saves so you can continue next time you book, subject to our save-retention window. Want to guarantee long-term progress to finish a game? A Progress Keeper add-on is coming.

If the issue is on our side (host or our network) you get a full refund or a free reschedule. If it's on your end, no refund applies — every session is monitored so we can tell the difference fairly.

You can reschedule once for free. If a session genuinely couldn't happen because of us, raise a refund request from your bookings and we'll review it and process it.

A growing library of console exclusives and current-gen hits. We confirm the exact title with you in Discord after you reserve a slot.
