So i switched from console gaming to pc gaming a few months ago. One feature i lost was the xboxs remote play via the xbox app. So im looking for a program that will let me pop in to monitor or control games while i have them afk farming and such from my phone. I think the best solution would be to use a type of remote software. However i only want the software to be able to use and control the few said games i give it permission to access, also be able to turn off my pc. I dont want it to be able to do anything else.

Well this is a good solution for most stuff. However without having looked fully yet. Can the steam link access non steam games like minecraft.

I’ve never tried but it may be possible if you put them in your steam library as a non steam game.

I sometimes use Parsec to connect to my main computer from my laptop when I'm in the living room or something similar, not sure if it would work for you: https://parsec.app/

I will when i get a minute thanks for the suggestion.
