Can you play PC games on iPad?

“I sometimes play PC games after work. But it’s difficult to sit at a desk after a long day when the couch is so enticing. So can I play PC games on my iPad or even my iPhone, so I can sit anywhere I want?

- Question from Reddit”

There are a lot of PC games designed to be accessible on your iPad or iPhone. But what about the games that aren’t available on iOS? You can actually play them on your iPad, but you’ll need additional software to allow you to stream the game to your iPad.
