Install the app, tap cast, and your game appears on any screen. Your phone becomes the controller, and you can add overlays or AI companions.

Is this cloud gaming?

No. GCast uses your phone to run the game locally. That's why latency is ultra-low and costs stay minimal.

Do I need a console or special hardware?

No. Just your phone, WiFi, and a screen (TV, laptop, tablet).

Does GCast work with any game?

Yes. If it runs on your phone, it casts.

Casting is 100% free while in beta. After beta, basic casting will remain free and unlimited access will be part of a paid plan.

All gameplay data stays on your device; we don't sell or share it.

How to Cast Mobile Games to Your TV (Without a Console)

Playing mobile games on a tiny screen when there's a perfectly good TV in the room? That era is over.

How GCast Works

GCast takes a different approach from cloud gaming or screen mirroring. Here's how to get started in three simple steps. For a full breakdown, see our complete guide to what GCast is and how it compares.

Step 1: Open GCast and pick what to cast

Once you open the app, you'll see your casting options right away. Tap Cast to mirror a single game, or try Split Screen to cast multiple games side by side on your TV.

Step 2: Connect to a screen

GCast automatically detects available screens on your WiFi network. Just tap the device you want to cast to — your TV, laptop, or tablet.
