[CES 2017] Back in 2015, NVIDIA announced a game streaming service called GeForce Now. The service had actually existed before and was known as Grid before being relaunched as GeForce Now, and one of the drawbacks to the service was that it was exclusive to NVIDIA Shield devices, which we guess was NVIDIA’s way of trying to get more customers.

However, in GeForce Now version 2.0.27, not only is Nvidia adding beta support for game streaming via Google Chrome on both Windows and macOS, Nvidia has also updated its native GeForce Now macOS. Nvidia’s cloud gaming service allows Mac users to play PC games. Rather than running the games on a local device, GeForce Now servers do the hard work and stream the video to players. Nvidia’s game-streaming service “GeForce Now” has been updated to work with Apple Silicon Macs. GeForce Now allows Mac and MacBook users to play games made for Windows without requiring hardware.

GeForce NOW Instantly transforms nearly any laptop, desktop, Mac, SHIELD TV, Android device, iPhone, or iPad into the PC gaming rig you’ve always dreamed of. Instantly play the most demanding PC games and seamlessly play across your devices. However, in GeForce Now version 2.0.27, not only is Nvidia adding beta support for game streaming via Google Chrome on both Windows and macOS, Nvidia has also updated its native GeForce Now macOS.
The good news is that if you kind of wished you had access to the service on your PC, you’re in luck because at CES 2017, NVIDIA announced that GeForce Now would be expanding to cover more devices, and is expected to be made available to gamers on the PC and Mac come March, 2017.

For those unfamiliar with such services, basically game streaming is where pretty much all the heavy lifting is done on another server, which means that even if you have an old PC you should still be able to play the game. This also means that you won’t have to shell out for new PC hardware all the time, although we guess the only downside is that you’ll have to fork out a subscription.
GeForce Now is not priced cheap as it is priced at $25 for 20 hours worth of gaming on a GeForce GTX 1060 machine, or 10 hours on a GTX 1080 machine. Wondershare recoverit 8 5 3 24. We’re not sure if many will find this service to be worth it, but maybe if you’re a casual gamer who can’t see themselves spending a few thousand on a gaming rig, this could be an alternative.

NVIDIA's entry into the streaming wars is seeing some impressive success and substantial challenges.
As companies compete and server technology improves, streaming games is becoming more and more of a viable option. One recent major entrant is NVIDIA GeForce Now, a streaming service for PC games that players already own. Over a million players have tried it out so far. While some publishers are choosing not to support this streaming platform, it's still a big contender and a clearly viable option for games streaming.
What is GeForce Now?
GeForce Now is NVIDIA's streaming service. Unlike platforms like Stadia, it does not require buying games over again or choosing from a select library to stream from. Instead, players simply stream the PC games that they own on different storefronts, including Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Uplay.
Sicne the games are being streamed from NVIDIA hardware, this means that players can try out advanced graphics features, like 4K HDR or ray-tracing — features that would otherwise cost quite a bit to get running on native hardware — on lesser platforms. You can use the service on other PCs and Macs, NVIDIA Shield devices, mobile devices, and more.
GeForce Now list of supported devices
GeForce Now is compatible with PC, Mac and Android. On PC and Mac, your device will need to meet certain baseline requirements, or you can simply go for the NVIDIA Shield device.

Is GeForce Now free?
There is a free tier of GeForce Now, which allows you to play in one-hour sessions. The paid tier is $5 a month and includes higher priority access to start playing, as well as extended sessions that aren't limited to one hour. These options are known as the Free and Founder's versions, respectively.
Free | Founders Membership | |
---|---|---|
Access | Standard | Priority |
Playtime | One hour | Extended length |
RTX | ||
Free trial | No | Free for 90 days |
Price | Free | $4.99/month for one year |
No, while it was in beta testing for several years, the streaming service exited beta testing back on Feb. 4, 2020. Since then, over one million players have tried out GeForce Now, per NVIDIA.
GeForce Now list of games
NVIDIA is facing some difficulties with GeForce Now, as not all games are being supported. Most notably, Activision Blizzard has removed all of its games from the service, while Bethesda Softworks has removed all but one — Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 will support the service at launch. You can see the full list of games currently supported on NVIDIA's website.
