Apologies in advance for potentially stupid questions, but I have a gaming PC upstairs in my house and would like to be able to stream games from it to my TV downstairs (both singleplayer and multiplayer). I’ve tried looking a few things up about this but haven’t really been able to find clear answers so thought I’d ask here:

Does a game need to have “Remote Play” enabled to be streamed? Even singleplayer ones? I’ve seen some people recommend a GitHub extension for Parsec but it seems like this is more suited for local coop?
Would an Amazon Fire Stick work for this? I haven’t yet checked if it’s possible to plug a 4K version in via Ethernet but presumably something that has Ethernet connectivity is the best option?
My PC is plugged into a 1080p monitor but my TV is 4K; does any sort of upscaling occur, or do I have to run the game natively at 4K on the PC for it to output at 4K on the TV? I have Lossless Scaling in my library.

Thanks in advance!
