Cloud gaming has been the big buzz over the last few years, but I’d yet to try GeForce NOW powered by Cloud GG until recently, and I was blown away by just how good the experience is on a huge range of devices.
Whether you’re gaming on an iPhone, a Mac, an older PC, your smart TV, all you need is a decent internet connection and a controller and you can then access your PC library through the likes of Steam, Xbox Game Pass and the Epic Games Store among other launchers just by logging in with your details.
From this point on you can play your library over the cloud complete with your cloud saves pulling right through which is just a game-changer if you think of the possibilities.
The fact that I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on my iPhone with a bluetooth controller and continue exactly where I left off on my main PC with my 5080 is remarkable, or the fact that I could jump into Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on my Mac and actually be competitive in a multiplayer match is simply stunning.
Similarly, my Samsung smart TV has the GeForce Now app already installed, so I could once again access my entire PC library over the cloud and take advantage of my glorious 77-inch OLED display with my library.
The best part is that because this is an NVIDIA service, you can not only play these games at up to 4K/120FPS, but you get access to the likes of NVIDIA Reflex, DLSS and HDR and there’s Aussie servers as well which makes for great latency and a super solid connection.
Whilst I understand the negative stigma that can often come with cloud gaming, I do think it’s really important that you give this a go if you’re somebody with a robust PC library, as it doesn’t take away from your PC setup, but rather add to it and allow you to get more game time in on the go, or in other parts of your house no matter what device you’ve got at your arsenal.
