2) Nvidia GeForce Now
I started sniffing around Nvidia GeForce Now because I realized it’s one of the few cloud gaming services that can stream up to 4K with 60fps or 1440p with 120fps. It also supports ray tracing, so you can get GPU-fueled performance without needing a physical card to run your system. Cloud gaming really is some powerful magic!
Nvidia’s GeForce Now also works in a variety of places. You can use it in the browser, on an Android device, in Safari on the iPad and iPhone, and on Windows and macOS. It’s also available on smart TVs, consoles like the Xbox, and handhelds like the Steam Deck.
How’s the library?
Even with the free tier, Nvidia GeForce Now offers a variety of titles. In the free-to-play section, there are games like Counter-Strike, Genshin Impact, and League of Legends. For ray tracing afficianados, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Control are available. My favorite feature of GeForce Now is that you can play games you’ve already paid for through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG without installing them locally—make sure to link up your store accounts.
Cons
Nvidia limits features and gaming time to avoid overloading its servers—the free tier, for instance, can only play for up to an hour and does not have RTX.
Also, not every game you’ve purchased elsewhere is available.
Pricing
Free, or starting at $10/month
