Parsec is a proprietary remote desktop application primarily used for playing games through video streaming.

The Parsec client is available on most modern operating systems including Windows, macOS, Android, Raspberry Pi 3 and Linux.

Parsec previously provided a simple user interface for provisioning and connecting to pre-configured virtual machines hosted by Amazon Web Services and Paperspace,[4] this has however been removed and is no longer part of the current version.

In January 2018, Parsec partnered with HP to create OMEN Game Stream, a free game streaming service based on Parsec's technology designed specifically for HP Omen PCs.

[5] Unity Technologies announced its plan to acquire Parsec for $320 million in August 2021, with the deal expected to close by the third quarter of 2021.
