Loudplay review
A pay-as-you-go virtual Windows gaming PC for your Steam and Epic library.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Loudplay provides virtual Windows gaming PCs that stream games to Windows, macOS, and Android devices. It is aimed at laptop and Android users who want access to cloud gaming hardware without purchasing a gaming PC. Users bring their own licenses from Steam, Epic Games, or Origin, while Loudplay supplies the virtual PC, discrete GPU, and gaming time. Supported input includes keyboard, mouse, and compatible gamepads.
Desktop access uses prepaid one-time packages. Starter costs $4 for 3 hours, with no auto-renewal and instant crediting. The 10 hours package costs $9, while the 20 hours package costs $16; both also have no auto-renewal and credit hours instantly. Android offers weekly and monthly subscriptions through Google Play, each providing a fixed amount of gaming hours with automatic renewal. Optional one-time Android top-ups are available in 1, 3, or 5 hours. Android pricing and included hours vary by country and appear in Google Play or the Loudplay app.
The service fits players who already own PC games and prefer flexible cloud hours over a recurring desktop plan. Its game catalog includes search and genre filters, and its Steam and Epic connections support a bring-your-own-library model. Access is available across Windows, macOS, Android, and Android TV via APK, but the platform range is narrower than services built around broader device coverage. The published category specifications also indicate no HDR support. Choose Loudplay for prepaid Windows cloud gaming and optional Android subscriptions; choose an alternative if you need a free tier, bundled game access, or broader platform support.
