LuminalShine

Game streaming, rebuilt for modern Windows.

LuminalShine is a self-hosted, low-latency game streaming host for Windows 11 — a hardened, NortheBridge-maintained descendant of Sunshine, focused exclusively on getting the most out of current Windows builds (including the Insider Preview Canary and Dev channels). Pair it with any Moonlight client, or stream straight to a browser via the built-in WebRTC client at /webrtc.
