Discover high-performance cloud gaming
NVIDIA GeForce NOW is a cloud-based gaming platform that lets you play PC titles without relying on your device’s local hardware. The service streams gameplay from powerful remote servers, so games run smoothly on machines that might otherwise struggle — all without lengthy installs or constant patching.
Supported devices and platforms
- Android tablets and phones
- Select smart TVs and streaming devices
- Chromebooks that meet RAM and system requirements
- Traditional desktop PCs and laptops
This wide compatibility means you can access demanding PC games from a variety of form factors, freeing you from needing an expensive gaming rig.
How streaming delivers the experience
Games are executed on NVIDIA’s remote servers and sent to your screen as a real-time video stream. Because processing and rendering happen off your device, you won’t need to wait for downloads, updates, or installs — everything runs in the cloud and is delivered instantly through the app.
What you can play and where to get titles
- EA’s digital storefronts and services
- Ubisoft Connect
- Epic Games Store
- Steam
GeForce NOW supports a large library of more than 1,500 games, including popular and award-winning releases. The catalog is refreshed regularly with new additions each GFN Thursday, though availability depends on licensing agreements.
Subscription options and perks
- Extended session times and reduced queue wait times for paid tiers
- RTX and enhanced visual features on supported plans
- Priority server access for premium members
- Higher frame-rate streaming for smoother gameplay
A free tier gives you basic access to the platform, while paid memberships unlock longer sessions, priority access, ray-tracing capabilities, and improved performance.
Important limitations
Not every PC game is playable on GeForce NOW. Some titles are excluded due to publisher licensing or compatibility problems, and games can sometimes be removed from the service. Multiplayer is supported where the game itself allows it, enabling cross-device play with other PC users.
Summary
NVIDIA GeForce NOW changes how players access PC games by removing hardware barriers and centralizing performance in the cloud. It offers a convenient way to play a wide selection of titles across many devices, with tiered subscriptions to fit different needs — though availability depends on publisher support.
