Nvidia GeForce Now review: a great option for eclectic, on-the-go gamers

A robust game streaming service for the modern, time-poor gamer.

1 week Ago


GeForce Now (GFN) is a monster . With three distinct payment tiers – each providing access to gaming rigs of differing power levels and over 1,800 top games to play through them – it's one of the most comprehensive cloud gaming services around. It's not without its downfalls, and it may be better suited to a specific kind of gamer, but there's a lot to like about GeForce Now.

Not least the ability to play games in all their Ray Traced glory on an equivalent rig, from wherever you have good internet access. One big draw for GFN users is the option of a free tier, and even a reasonably priced day pass should the mood strike you on your day off. In fact, there's a great deal of choice for GFN users depending on what you're willing to spend.

Spend nothing and there's going to be a couple of big caveats. For one thing, reserves the right to sell free tier users' data (including your IP address) to its partners. Aside from that little nugget, GeForce Now's free tier offers only one-hour-long sessions with ads between them, which means depending on the game you're playing and the server popularity, you could be waiting in a queue for a while each time you're booted to the lobby.

Still, as long as you can find a machine that meets the low-as-anything (and you can see the text) you're good to go either in a browser or with the GeForce Now app. I've been playing and on my Galaxy A15 from home, which while a little awkward with the small UI, is super convenient. The bottom line here.
