NVIDIA has announced that its cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, is now available to everyone. PC gamers can download and experience this service for free on mobiles and laptops. Not only that, but you will be able to experience Ray Tracing in its full glory, even if you don’t own a GeForce GPU.
In case you weren’t aware of, GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service. With GeForce Now, you can keep playing the games you already own and continue building libraries from the same stores you already use every day.
According to the green team, there are currently more than 1,000 games that can be played through single-session installs. Moreover, new games will be added to the service weekly based on member requests, game popularity and publishers’ input.
As said, PC gamers can experience GeForce Now for free. The free membership provides one-hour sessions with standard access to GeForce Now servers. However, there is no limit to the one-hour sessions. Thus, you can have as many one-hour sessions as you please.
Unfortunately, though, RTX is only available to Founders members. Still, and for $4.99 per month, you can play the RTX games, even if you don’t own a powerful $1200 NVIDIA GPU. Ideally, and provided your Internet connection allows it, you will be able to play these RTX games with 60fps.
You can download GeForce Now from here.

Stadia? Is that still a thing?
Well, after this news, I don’t think so.
Supposedly they haven’t had an update or new game in over 75 days. This sure seems like a another nail in the coffin.
I guess all mainstream companies will have to fail with their cloud gaming until they understand
let them try . i hope they go bankrupt
What’s the point in playing “raytracing games”, if they’re going to be compressed in to some video container with all their glorious compression artifacts and degradation?
Who is this for? The mentally challenged? If so, I’m sure it will do great in this day and age, as we’re in the golden era of stupidity right now.
It’s so you can try raytracing. If you have good internet like me you can enjoy it and see if you should upgrade.
No compression artifacts whatsoever, i tested it for 3 hours on max settings FHD + forced 50MPBS with option to increase compression on lag disabled.
I had no lag, played Destnity 2 at 200% render it has such option, game looked almost 4K, run fast, and felt like playing locally.
Im 100% sure that on slow internet connection or if you crank up the compression and lower resolution you’ll see compression artifacts, my point was that for beset scenario, when used at MAX settings, it looks like playing locally
Cloud gaming, let me puke
VR gaming , CLOUD gaming and yet Intel its still on 14+++++++++ LMAO
old news = new news
same S*it different smell
Is This The Way You Wanna Be Remember? My Great Grandmother Always said, “It’s Ok if you talk to yourself, As long as you don’t respond”. You broke the rules son, Yeaks! ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/69b6aa7be476839e9945d73af04e1d2ca521f7eb79cab521c43b90178457c1d3.png
yes i love philosophy
Excellent news for people who can’t afford powerful RTX card.
Excellent comment from a person that can’t afford psychiatric treatment
EXACTLY! That guy i tell you. By the way you nailed it.
I tried to check this out yesterday on a few different computers and only get a maintenance message for the website.
not available in my country. Sh*t
Your country is ahead of the curve. You can already witness the future of this service today.

Its not available in mine too, yet worked fine using EU servers, at max bitrate and resolution.
I’ll sign up right after having paid for Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Now, Google Stadia, EA Origin Premier Access, Ubisoft Uplay Plus and the Fallout 76 $100 p.a. subscription service. What a time to be alive. /s
This might be the only valid usecase for cloud gaming. To try out advanced technology that is currently not affordable.
So here is my experience with Gforce NOW, i live outside EU, in region where its not available, yet i signed for the premium, 3 months free so i decided to test then cancel, i have 2080TI and game in 4K, so FHD/60 is not enough.
I connected to European server and decided to test a shooter, i played Destniy 2 for the first time ever, and i forgot about time and played for like 2-3 hours, the best thing about Destiny 2 [for streaming it] that it has rendering setting, so game was running in peasant 1080p, but rendering 200% and it looked great, not native 4K on local PC but great, also even thou i have HDR OLED monitor, the streaming doesnt allow HDR so the option was greyed out..
As far as lag etc, i had ZERO issues, sometimes once every 30 minus i got that icon on screen and it was gone after 1-2 seconds.
BUT I played using custom maxed out settings, i disabled the option to increase compression and forced FHD/60 50MBps which is the current maximum.
My own connection is 1G/100Mb but im outside EU, they have test benchmark and the fastest server was 57ms in Europe, the worst was 170ms in USA
Do you know how is game ownership determined in GeForce Now? Can I play my Steam games via this service?
You can ONLY play your own games, they support Steam, Origin and Uplay.
It goes like this:
They have game presets in the program, these games pre-installed, when you click, it will open remote steam,origin,uplay window to login, if you own the game it will run.
For all otehr games, it will do the same but run install, installs only work per-session, every time you want to play a non supported game it will have to re-download and re-install, remotely of course at their fast speeds
Got it, but apparently many games aren’t supported at all (they don’t work when I try running them) and this is a relatively recent change by NVIDIA. No idea why they did such a BS move.:( If they do this to make the experience more streamlined, why don’t they implement some setting (like “run unsupported games”) for people who want to play games which aren’t guaranteed to run fine, at their own risk?
What do you mean? Games that not on their list? First you need to own it and log-in into service that you own it on trough geforcenow, then if this game is not on the list you need to wait for the service to download it then install it and then it will run.
GNOW is more Remote PC service then game streaming like say PSNOW.
For example, it’s not possible to launch Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A window saying that it isn’t supported pops up. Secondly, many other people complain about this issue since April 2019, when there was an official announcement stating that playing unsupported games wouldn’t be possible anymore.
Are you sure? It was probably changed for release, I have a button saying “Find and Add your games”
Yep, I just tested, on top tehre is search bar you search for game and add it
Yeah, I have this button, too, but many games aren’t on the list and can’t be added. In fact, there are only about 550 titles on this list as of now.

Hey read this,
Activision Blizzard Pulls Out of NVIDIA GeForce Now Game Streaming Service

Geforce Now users have lost access to Activision Blizzard games on the service
Geforce Now released last week to a large number of positive reviews, offering a level of stability and gaming variety that competitors like Google’s Stadia couldn’t provide at launch. Now, one week later, Nvidia has been forced to announce that their Geforce Now PC streaming service will no longer support Activision Blizzard games. This change will remove popular games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Overwatch from the service.
Note that this change wasn’t Nvidia’s decision, as Activision Blizzard requested that their games were removed from the service. At this time, Activision Blizzard hasn’t revealed a reason for this decision.
An Nvidia representative has confirmed that developers have asked for Nvidia to bring more than 1,500 new games to their service, which Nvidia plans to add on a weekly basis. Even so, the loss of Activision Blizzard will be felt by Nvidia’s Geforce Now Founders.
