The Windows installer package may require an Internet connection to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime if your PC does not already have it installed. If you do not have Internet access during installation, you can pre-install the runtime from Microsoft's website or use the portable version.
To update an existing installation, simply run the latest installer (for Windows) or replace the old app in your Applications folder (for Mac). For the portable Windows version, extract the ZIP into a new folder and copy the Moonlight Game Streaming Project folder from the older version to preserve your settings and paired hosts.
Important note for Windows Portable upgrades from v6.1.0 or earlier: If you extracted the portable Windows v6.2.0 ZIP file into the same folder as an earlier version of Moonlight, you must delete qopensslbackend.dll file in the tls folder or Moonlight will crash on startup.
To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

- The cursor is now also locked to the video area in single display borderless windowed scenarios. This was previously only done in true full-screen mode.
- The cursor is no longer captured by default in windowed mode. Clicking on the streaming window or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z will capture the cursor.
- Game Mode has been re-enabled on macOS
- The Metal renderer is supported on Macs with a discrete GPU. It was previously only available on Macs with an iGPU.
- HDR metadata is now used for tonemapping on macOS. You may need to tweak your HDR brightness in the OS, particularly for external non-Apple displays. …
