GeForce NOW Lets You Play the Games You Own
GeForce NOW Powered by CloudGG officially launched in Australia in October 2021. After a successful beta testing period to iron out kinks, that first wave of cloud gaming delivered a smooth experience at 1080p and up to 60 FPS. Naturally, the service has come a long way over the past five years, but the overall goal and mission haven’t changed. That is, to deliver a premium cloud PC gaming experience where you can access the PC games in your library, no matter the platform.
By leveraging NVIDIA’s industry-leading gaming hardware, this idea, that you can play the games you own, not only differentiated GeForce NOW from competing cloud services but also accelerated its adoption. By moving high-end PC gaming to the cloud, GeForce NOW has changed what gamers need to own or invest in to experience the latest games with the latest technology.
