NVIDIA GeForce NOW gives you a powerful gaming PC in the cloud.
NVIDIA GeForce NOW is a streaming game service that lets you play all your favorite games in the cloud. It's like having a powerful gaming PC that you can access nearly anywhere, thanks to its compatibility with phones, laptops, web browsers, and even TVs. No longer are you required to have a decent gaming PC or a console of your own. All you need is a device that has internet and access to the GeForce NOW website or app.
Plus, with thousands of games available in the library, there's always something to play. You'll find games from tons of established studios across a variety of storefronts, including games from Activision Blizzard like Modern Warfare III, World of Warcraft, and Diablo IV. There are also games from GOG, the Epic Games Store, and even Xbox.
Of course, one of the biggest advantages of GeForce NOW is the ability to play across devices. You can start playing on a low-powered PC at home, and pick up right where you left off on a mobile device later on. It's the ideal service for someone who doesn't want to spend a ton of money on hardware just to play games. Even more to the point, you can still get high-end graphics. NVIDIA offers a few different membership options, and all of them allow streaming games in the cloud on any device. You do, however, get some added benefits with the higher tiers. NVIDIA is also adding new games constantly, with a new set of games being added to the library every single week. Making it so that you've always got something new to look forward to playing.
