NVIDIA has unveiled the new NVIDIA GeForce NOW service, which delivers, on demand, a high-performance NVIDIA Pascal gaming PC from the cloud, to PC and Mac computers.
The new GeForce NOW service connects gamers to GeForce GTX 1080 PCs in cloud data centres, renders games with the latest NVIDIA GameWorks visual technology and streams them in high definition to PCs and Macs. This allows users with desktops or laptops to enjoy the latest gaming technology even though their hardware is not up to scratch. Mac users can also enjoy games without waiting for the Mac version to be available.
“There are more than 200 million GeForce gamers around the world today, yet hundreds of millions of others have computers that aren’t well-suited for modern video games,” said Jen-
Hsun Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. Huang announced the service during his keynote address at CES.
“With GeForce NOW, a new generation of gamers can now play the latest PC games with great performance and amazing quality.”
In development at NVIDIA for five years, GeForce NOW is compatible with most Windows- and Mac-based desktop PCs and laptops. Gamers simply download the GeForce NOW app to their local machine. With a few clicks, they can connect to their own GeForce GTX virtual PC, install their favourite games from popular digital game stores –Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay and
GOG for example – and start playing.
Free-to-play games like World of Tanks can also be installed directly from their respective websites. Gamers can also enjoy games they already own on the stores mentioned above, as well as purchase new games as soon as they’re available.
GeForce NOW works as if the user owns a state of the art gaming laptop, only in the cloud. As with any cloud based service users can access the service from any laptop or PC. Patches and driver updates are automatically installed.
The cloud service will save in-game progress and achievements, and synchronise them with locally-installed games. This means gamers can use GeForce NOW on a secondary laptop and pick up right where they left off playing on their primary gaming PC. They can easily take all their games with them wherever they go.

When gamers register for GeForce NOW, they can play for free for eight hours on a GeForce GTX 1060 PC or for four hours on a GeForce GTX 1080 PC. For each additional US$25, gamers can play for 20 hours on a GTX 1060 PC or 10 hours on a GTX 1080 PC. Sign up for the early access waiting list
