I'm buying a Tab S6 at the end of the month and I'm going to use DeX as a laptop replacement. Now I'm a console gamer, but I play only a hand full of PC games on my laptop. Nihon Falcom games, Trails in the Sky trilogy, Xanadu Next, Ys, etc. They aren't graphic powerhouses, you can run them on anything, they're mostly updated PSP titles. They are on Steam. My question is, can I play them using DeX or is it still not possible?

@MandeepDraftor Let me know if you try it out. I would be interested to see if it works. I would assume that they would consider that tethering since you're using the phone with a desktop type device so it may work with hotspot. I don't know a whole lot about Dex though.

Yes, you should be able to play your PC games on the Tab S6 using DeX. DeX provides a desktop-like experience on your tablet, allowing you to connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for a more traditional computing setup. While DeX is primarily designed for productivity tasks, it can also handle running PC games. However, there are a few factors to consider. First, check if your games are compatible with Android or if there is an Android version available. Some games may only be designed for Windows or other operating systems, so it's important to ensure they can run on Android. Next, check the system requirements for each game and compare them to the specifications of the Tab S6. While your games are not graphic-intensive, it's still important to make sure the tablet meets the minimum requirements for a smooth gaming experience. Pay attention to the processor, RAM, and storage requirements. Lastly, keep in mind that DeX is still an Android environment, so there may be limitations or compatibility issues with certain games. It's a good idea to research specific game forums or communities to see if other users have successfully played those games on the Tab S6 using DeX. Overall, with the Tab S6's decent hardware specs and the relatively low system requirements of your games, you should have a good chance of being able to play them using DeX. Just make sure to do some research and check for compatibility before making your purchase.

Using DeX on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, you can certainly play PC games on your tablet. DeX provides a desktop-like experience, allowing you to connect your tablet to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse for a more traditional computing setup.

To play your PC games on DeX, you have a couple of options:

  1. Steam: If the games you mentioned are available on Steam, you can install the Steam app on your tablet and access your game library. Many games on Steam are compatible with DeX, and you can play them using keyboard and mouse or a compatible game controller.

  2. Game Streaming: Another option is to stream your PC games to your tablet using game streaming services like Steam Link, NVIDIA GeForce Now, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (cloud gaming). These services allow you to stream games from your PC or cloud servers to your tablet, providing a way to play even more resource-intensive games.

It's worth noting that while DeX can handle many PC games, the gaming experience may vary depending on the specific game's requirements and your tablet's hardware capabilities. Since the games you mentioned are not graphically demanding, the Tab S6 should be able to handle them well.

Remember to ensure a stable internet connection for game streaming services, and consider using a compatible game controller if you prefer that over a keyboard and mouse setup.

Overall, the Galaxy Tab S6 with DeX can offer a convenient and portable way to play your PC games, providing a laptop-like experience on the go.
