What is cloud gamingĬloud gaming is like streaming a movie to your phone, computer, or TV-except your device is constantly “talking” to a server likely located hundreds of miles away. If you’re new to cloud gaming or wondering if subscribing to GeForce’s RTX 3080 tier is worth it, here’s what you need to know. We were incredibly impressed with how smoothly the games ran (especially on Nvidia's Shield TV device), even at a level of detail so precise you can see pores on the characters’ skin. We recently tried out the new subscription tier and all it has to offer. As of last month, anyone can pre-order a membership to Nvidia’s new RTX 3080 subscription tier, which provides more resolution options, features, and benefits than any other dedicated cloud gaming service out there-and for the moment it’s also the only cloud gaming platform that supports true 4K gaming.

In my experience, GeForce NOW offers the lowest latency of the bunch, with my numbers usually hovering between 18-28ms during any given session.Just as Xbox starts to make some major strides with its cloud gaming service, Nvidia comes out with a whopper of an update to its cloud gaming platform, GeForce Now. Then there’s GeForce NOW, which supports both wired and Bluetooth mice, keyboards, and controllers. Xbox Cloud Gaming relies solely on a standard Bluetooth (or wired) Xbox controller, and although some players report a lag-free experience, my internal tests have been pretty dismal. Stadia and Luna both employ Wi-Fi-enabled controllers that link directly to the server that’s streaming the game, thus reducing lag and creating a tighter player experience. A single disruption in this connection will result in gameplay latency, graphical pixelation, and in extreme cases, the connection will be severed entirely.Įach cloud gaming platform tackles latency in unique ways. That’s because, unlike native games that run directly on your PC, cloud games require a continuous loop of data to be piped between a target device and the game server. Not only is latency the bane of any competitive gamer, but it’s also one of the biggest problems with cloud gaming. The Least Latency (At Least for Me) NVIDIA So whether you like to play on your PC, chill out on the couch, or game in bed (we’re not judging), GeForce NOW can be enjoyed in all of these places. Players can even access GeForce NOW with a Chromebook through the Chrome browser or on an Xbox via the Microsoft Edge browser.

For gaming on the go, there’s the GeForce NOW app for Android and a web app for iPhone and iPad. While multi-device support is nothing new in the cloud gaming space, it’s worth noting that GeForce NOW is the only service that delivers the most power, the most games, and the largest regional coverage to a broad range of device form factors.Īs of today, GeForce NOW runs in the browser and via a native app on Windows PCs and macOS computers.

Play PC Games on All of Your Devices NVIDIA In short, GeForce NOW is the most widely available cloud gaming service on the planet however, it’s worth mentioning that the premium RTX 3080 tier isn’t offered in all supported locations. That’s followed up closely by Stadia with 22 regions, and then Luna, which currently only offers service to the mainland United States. The second best contender in terms of global reach is Xbox Cloud Gaming with 26 officially supported regions. When it comes to cloud gaming infrastructure, GeForce NOW has the largest global footprint with 60 officially supported regions and 10 GeForce NOW Alliance partners. Having the ability to play great games on powerful hardware in the cloud is only useful if you can actually access them. You even get to bring over any save data you have stored in services like Steam Cloud. That means many of the games you already own can be played through GeForce NOW without having to rebuy them (like on Google’s Stadia) or subscribe to access them (like on Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming and Amazon’s Luna). The best part is that all of these games come directly from your favorite PC game stores, including Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and EA Origin.

As of May 2022, GeForce NOW officially supports more than 1,300 titles with 118 of them available to play for free. Performance alone is enough to put GeForce NOW ahead of the pack, but it also boasts the largest game library available in the cloud.

Finally, GeForce NOW’s RTX 3080 and Priority tiers come with ray-tracing capabilities, a feature that’s only currently supported on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
