We built Gamearena because playing together
shouldn't be this hard.
A group of college friends who refused to let distance kill their game nights. What started as frustration became an obsession — and eventually, a platform that lets you play your PC games from any device, anywhere in the world.
From college dorms to everywhere.
After graduating in 2018, the founders scattered across cities. The weekly LAN parties that defined college — the trash talk, the clutch moments — became frustrating attempts with laggy open source tools that weren't built for real gameplay.
That's when it hit us: streaming should feel like sitting at your own desk, wherever you are. No middlemen, no cloud queues, no compromises.
So we built it. A peer-to-peer engine that delivers your PC's power to any screen with sub-10ms latency. Your games, everywhere.
Graduation & Moving On
After graduating, the founders moved to different cities. Weekly LAN parties became distant memories as real life pulled everyone apart.
The Idea Forms
Frustrated with laggy open source streaming tools, we wondered: why can't gaming together feel as seamless as being on the same couch? That's when it clicked.
Building the Prototype
Late nights coding and iterating. The first successful peer-to-peer stream between two devices in different cities — under 10ms latency — felt like magic.
Gamearena Launches
What started as solving our own problem became a platform. Now thousands of gamers use Gamearena to play their library from any screen, anywhere.
“Gamearena exists because we lived this problem. Every time we tried to play with a friend across town — or across the country — we hit walls. Laggy streams, complicated setups, services that treated our games like rentals instead of something we already own.
We built Gamearena so that no one has to choose between playing their games and being where life takes them. Your library is yours. Your hardware is yours. And playing together should feel as natural as passing a controller.”
— The Founders
Gamearena Technologies
Your PC. Your games. Every screen.
Three principles that guided every decision since day one.
Your Hardware
Use your own gaming PC. No cloud servers, no per-hour fees, no one else touching your saves or mods. Your library stays yours — always.
Any Device
Phone, tablet, or laptop — if it has a browser, it can stream. No apps to install on the viewer side. Log in and connect to your PC - new devices pair once with a one-time code.
Zero Compromise
Low-latency peer-to-peer streaming with DTLS encryption. Full keyboard and mouse support. Up to 4K at 144 FPS. Your PC's power, anywhere you need it.
We built the tech. The rest is up to you.
Gamearena started with a simple belief: the games you own should be playable wherever you are, with whoever you want. We built the tech — the rest is up to you.
Every gamer who connects, every session shared, every piece of feedback sent — that's what closes the gap between “this is cool tech” and “this is how I play now.”
Whether you're a competitive player pushing for zero latency, a modder experimenting with what's possible, or someone who just wants to pick up their save on a tablet before bed — you're part of what we're building.
Distance shouldn't determine who you play with. Your hardware should work for you, not the other way around. And great gaming experiences should follow you everywhere — not live on a single screen.
We're building the future of remote play.
We help people play their games from anywhere on any device. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
