Since its launch, GeForce NOW has offered two tiers of membership. The first one was completely free and kept players waiting exorbitant amounts of time to get into a game session, limited the quality of their stream, and capped off session length at one hour at a time. The second was called Founders and cost […]
It’s officially been one whole year since Nvidia launched its GeForce Now service, and in a new blog post, it’s detailed its achievements in that time. One of the most striking takeaways was that they have streamed over 175 million hours of gameplay to users – that’s unreal! Not only that, but the service supports […]
You’ve been able to spoof the Chrome browser on Windows and macOS into believing it was running on a Chromebook using a User Agent-Switcher extension for months now, thus allowing you to play Nvidia’s GeForce NOW without downloading its official client. As of today though, you can now load up the web app version of […]
As a part of CES, LG has announced that several of its TVs – namely its 2021 lineup of NanoCell, OLED, and QNED devices which launch in the spring – will natively support Google Stadia and GeForce NOW for gaming, but not right away. As much as I love Stadia, it looks like they’ll be […]
We’ve talked quite a bit about GeForce NOW in the last year and for good reason: it is a fantastic game streaming service that works well across a ton of platforms. Back in February, they launched out of Beta and brought their Chrome OS solution in August, allowing users to stream their game libraries on […]

Simply visit GeForce with the button at the bottom of this article and add it to your library to begin playing!

Having been restricted from launching their apps on Apple’s store and being cited for breaking the rules of the platform, Stadia and GeForce NOW are both circumventing the tech giant by launching their services on iOS devices via web applications instead! In their recent talk with Business Insider, Apple says that the reason Stadia and […]
Chromebook gamers know how convenient it is to play GeForce NOW straight through their web browser ever since the company pledged support for Google’s OS a few months ago. Instead of having to download the GeForce NOW application as you do with Windows and Mac, you can just visit a URL and click ‘Play’ on […]
One of the fun-yet-oft-forgotten privileges of being a Chromebook owner is the inclusion of perks. These little deals specifically made for Chromebook users can run the gambit from free Google Drive space to deals on sweet games like Doom and Doom 2, so the Chromebook Perks page is always worth keeping a keen eye on. […]
GeForce Now is shaping up to make quite the case for cloud gaming. The ability for Chromebook owners to play AAA quality games via the browser using titles they already own from their Steam and the Epic Games libraries is an incredibly unique value proposition. With an ever-expanding library of games, I now present to […]
Chromebooks and gaming weren’t two words you used to be able to put into a single sentence with a straight face. Apart from a few less-than-stellar web games, Chromebooks just didn’t have the ability to deliver any real sort of gaming experience until Android apps showed up. Even then, the majority of Android games were […]
When GeForce NOW became available on Chrome OS just over a week ago, I honestly thought it was as simple as NVIDIA deciding to launch a web-based player similar to Stadia’s version of the same thing. After all, Stadia’s been at it for a solid 9 months at this point, so NVIDIA likely learned a […]
