NVIDIA says GeForce Now users can stream "one of more than 650 games instantly," including "over 70 of the most-play free-to-play games." Other titles will be added throughout the year, including Cyberpunk 2077.ĬhromeOS might be the headline announcement, however NVIDIA has emphasized that it's working on updates for PC, Mac, Shield and Android users too. The company called it a " misunderstanding" and has subsequently changed its policy so that game makers have to opt into the service. When the service formally launched last February, many publishers were caught off guard and quickly asked NVIDIA to pull their catalogs. GeForce Now has its own catalog issues, though. Now, ChromeOS users have a second option. Google Stadia, one of many GeForce Now rivals, already supports Chromebooks but its game library is fairly limited, both for Pro subscribers and people who would rather buy games à la carte. If you're carrying a cheap Chromebook, there's no way that you're playing high-end games like Control without some kind of streaming involved. But if you're on the move - a bustling coffee shop or cramped dorm room, for instance - there's a good chance that a lower-specced clamshell is sitting on your lap instead. GeForce Now doesn't make sense if you're sat at home with a powerful gaming rig in front of you.
The expansion to Chromebooks is a welcome one. You essentially queue up for an NVIDIA-owned machine in a server farm somewhere, then access your game by remotely logging into the relevant storefront client. GeForce Now supports a range of titles from digital storefronts like Steam, Epic Games Store and Ubisoft’s Uplay. As before, you'll need to own some games to take advantage of the service. Instead, you can simply point your browser to and login with a new or existing GeForce Now account. Unlike Windows and Mac users, you won't need a native app to get started. NVIDIA is launching a beta version of its GeForce Now game streaming service on ChromeOS today.
