TL;DR
- The DroidDeck app for Android now supports Xbox Cloud Gaming, allowing you to stream Xbox games over the internet.
- The app now integrates the Battle.net storefront as well, coming days after it gained Game Pass and Itch.io integration.
- DroidDeck also brings better second-screen support, improved performance, improved efficiency under sleep mode, and more.
DroidDeck launched early this month but has already established itself as one of the better PC gaming apps on Android. The app brings a SteamOS-like experience and recently gained Xbox Game Pass integration. Now, the latest update has brought even more exciting additions.
DroidDeck v0.6.7 was released on GitHub late yesterday, and perhaps the standout feature is support for Xbox Cloud Gaming. This allows you to stream Xbox games over the internet via the game’s store page or the Games tab. This uses the web player by default, but the app also offers an optional native player that supports frame generation.
Another significant addition this time is support for the Battle.net storefront, joining the existing Steam, GOG, Amazon, and Itch.io stores. Games from Battle.net also appear in the Steam and Library tabs, as well as in the desktop mode.
What Else Does This DroidDeck Update Bring?
There’s also good news if you want even more SteamOS stylings in the app. Steam’s brightness and volume sliders now control the device’s brightness and volume, while holding your handheld’s back button now shows a quick-access menu for Steam input and screenshots.
The developers have also focused on sleep improvements, saying that a game left suspended overnight now only consumes 2% battery. Have a dual-screen Android handheld? Then DroidDeck v0.6.7 makes better use of the second screen. The team says the bottom screen can show text and typing fields, trackpad, keyboard, and Deck controls in games, and the in-game menu — letting the whole game occupy the top screen.
Other tweaks include improved performance, an Android app launcher, a unified game library, an Ubuntu 26.04 desktop, improved portrait orientation support, on-screen keys for any key or keyboard combo, and better support for screens wider than 16:9.
DroidDeck looks like the strongest PC gaming app for users who value broad storefront integration. The performance and battery life improvements, combined with better second-screen functionality and deeper SteamOS stylings, make this update worth a look for anyone seeking an alternative to GameNative, GameHub, and other PC game streaming solutions.
