Version History - (tvOS) Fixed HDR games looking washed out
- (tvOS) Frame pacing is now off by default for lower latency - turn it back on in Settings > Video if you see stutter
- (iOS) Fixed the mouse pointer losing its lock in certain scenarios
- Luna: Added support for the Amazon Luna Controller in "Cloud Direct" mode - the controller talks to Luna over your Wi-Fi network directly instead of routing its input through your iPhone or iPad, which keeps latency down
- Luna: Fixed the mouse cursor sometimes incorrectly appearing at the beginning of a stream
- GFN: Restored the overlay disclosure in desktop mode when playing with only a Steam Controller
- OnePlay: Fixed the dashboard failing to load
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements 2.1 Sep 10 - CloudGear for Apple TV - a companion app included with your CloudGear unlock. Browse and launch games on your iPhone or iPad, then play them on your Apple TV in up to 4K with HDR10 and 7.1 surround sound
