Your mods, your rules - on a real PC

Vortex, CurseForge, custom clients - they install on Shadow like on any Windows PC. And your library is still there tomorrow.

Moddable PC games want a machine of their own

Yes, you can mod games in the cloud - when the cloud is a real PC. Shadow PC is a complete Windows 11 machine: install your manager, pull mods from any source, launch. Skyrim, GTA V, Stardew - the moddable PC games you love, with up to 5 TB for the library they become.

Heavy packs, happy frame rates

A full Windows 11 PC

Modrinth, Wabbajack, the private client from your server: if it installs on Windows, it installs here.

Storage that fits your library

512 GB SSD, up to 5 TB more when you need it. The 200-mod build fits. So do the three you abandoned.

Power for the heaviest packs

4K textures and heavy scripts meet datacenter hardware: GTA V holds 118 fps at 1440p, packs included.

A PC that stays yours

Close the session at your desk, reopen it on the couch. Load order, saves, settings: untouched.

Locked catalogs can't mod. A full PC can.

Streaming catalogs run a fixed list, and client mods never made the cut — Minecraft: Java even left the biggest one. Under Shadow's stream, there's a whole PC.

From download to launch, nothing changes

Sign in to Nexus Mods or Steam Workshop on your Shadow, hit download, and the files land on its drive - not on the laptop in front of you. Sort your load order, set your profiles, save: everything behaves like a tower, because that's what Shadow is. A full Windows 11 PC, dedicated RTX-class GPU, streamed to whatever screen you're holding. The datacenter does the lifting. You do the playing.

Mods catalog

Skip the tower. Keep the mods.

Neo and Power mod exactly the same way — the difference is how heavy your packs can get. And when your library outgrows the drive, the storage extends with it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you mod games on cloud gaming?

On catalog services, no - the games stream from a fixed library you can't touch. On Shadow PC, yes: it's a complete Windows 11 PC, so mod managers, texture packs and custom clients install exactly as they would on a local machine. If a mod runs on Windows, it runs on Shadow.

How do I install mods on Shadow PC?

The same way you would on any Windows PC. Install Vortex, CurseForge or Modrinth - or subscribe on Steam Workshop - and the files download straight to your Shadow drive. For game-specific setups like FiveM or modded Minecraft, dedicated guides walk you through it.

Mods make my PC lag. What does Shadow change?

Mods eat RAM, VRAM and disk speed; that's why heavy packs stutter on aging hardware. Shadow PC runs your game on datacenter hardware - up to 28 GB of RAM and a dedicated RTX-class GPU absorb texture packs and script-heavy builds while your device only streams the picture.

Do Vortex, CurseForge and Modrinth work on Shadow?

Yes, natively. Shadow PC is a standard Windows 11 machine, so every major mod manager installs and updates like on a local PC. Your libraries download to your own storage - 512 GB SSD, extendable up to 5 TB - and stay put between sessions.

Can I use mods in online games on Shadow?

Mods install on Shadow like on any PC; whether you can use them online depends on each game's rules. Solo and community-supported modding work as expected. Note that a small set of titles (~30) with strict anti-cheat don't run on Shadow at all — check the compatibility list before subscribing for one specific game.

Do my mods stay installed between sessions?

Yes. Shadow PC is persistent: your mods, load orders and saves sit exactly where you left them, because they live on your own drive rather than in a temporary session. Log in from a laptop, a Mac or your phone — the build is intact.

Mod list ready? The PC is too.

Subscribe, install your manager, restore your load order: you're playing your build tonight.
