Moonlight PC: game streaming client released in version 6.2.0

Moonlight PC, an open source client for streaming PC games, has been released in version 6.2.0.

The update brings a rewritten KMSDRM renderer with atomic modesetting, VRR and ALLM, Vulkan rendering on Linux outside desktop environments, and support for DualSense adaptive triggers. It also fixes three security vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-33546, CVE-2026-33547, CVE-2026-41210), and the default resolution for new installs is now 1080p.

Behavior Changes:

Default macOS renderer is now libplacebo (using MoltenVK), changeable in Advanced Settings

Most video renderers use full range color instead of limited range

Cursor locks to video area in single display borderless windowed mode

Cursor no longer captured by default in windowed mode; use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z to capture

Game Mode re-enabled on macOS

Metal renderer supported on discrete GPU Macs

HDR metadata used for tonemapping on macOS

CLI output displays in console on Windows instead of dialog

Non-x86 Linux GPUs assumed slow by default; override with GL_IS_SLOW=0/VULKAN_IS_SLOW=0

Gamepad motion sensors disabled on Steam Link hardware

Default streaming resolution for new installs: 1080p (was 720p)

Video bitrate no longer resets when adjusting resolution/frame rate after manual adjustment

Security Fixes:
