ChromeOS users now have a second option. However, GeForce Now has its own catalog issues. When the service formally launched in February last year, many publishers were fired and asked NVIDIA to pull out their catalogs soon. The company called it a ‘misunderstanding’ and later changed its policy so that game makers would have to opt for the service. NVIDIA says that GeForce Now users can “stream one of more than 650 games directly”, including “more than 70 of the most playable free-to-play games.” Other titles will be added throughout the year, including Cyberpunk 2077.
ChromeOS may be the headline, but NVIDIA has insisted that it works on updates for PC, Mac, Shield and Android users as well. PC and Mac clients will soon be supporting Ansel, for example a screenshot tool that lets you snap digital photos from any angle, add filters and capture 360-degree photo spheres that can be seen in virtual reality.
GeForce Now is free to use, although your sessions are limited to one hour and you often have to wait for a remote machine to become available. However, you can pay $ 4.99 per month for a founders membership that raises the session limit to six hours, gives you priority access, and enables NVIDIA’s RTX ray tracing acceleration. The company also offers a six-month Founders pass for $ 24.95 that includes a Battle Pass token and in-game bundle (worth $ 69.94, apparently) for Ubisoft’s Hyper Scape battle royale.
