Show HN: I built a FOSS tool to run your Steam games in the Cloud I wanted to play my Steam games but my aging PC couldn’t keep up, so I built Cloudy Pad - a tool to run Steam in the Cloud (GitHub: https://ift.tt/KymGtIQ ) It runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, Scaleway and Paperspace with various cost optimizations and safeties: - Cost alerts - Auto stop inactive instances to avoid unwanted cost - Disk snapshots and data cleanup for cost efficiency - Spot instance support Under the hood: a Linux VM and a container running Sunshine (a streaming server https://ift.tt/FiMjH2I ) with Steam. Most Windows games work just fine thanks to Proton. It streams effortlessly at 1080p 100+ FPS - I recently played Baldur’s Gate III and Clair Obscur in Ultra, ran like a breeze. Cost-wise it’s great for occasional players: ~30h or less per month typically cost less than 25$. Though admittedly for heavy gamers it may be less cost-effective due to cloud pricing. I’d love feedback from the HN community ! https://ift.tt/KymGtIQ June 18, 2025 at 12:27AM
