Update:
Starting today select video games are now available to play on GeForce Now.
Original Story…
There’s been a bit of a surge lately with cloud gaming. It might not be at a level yet to replace your game installs on PCs or console gaming. However, cloud gaming provides a means to enjoy a wide variety of video games without having the necessary hardware to run them natively. You’ll find a few services available to pick up, including Nvidia’s GeForce Now. This cloud gaming service offers a means to stream a collection of video game titles, but you’ll need to purchase these games.
Essentially, you’ll connect some of the libraries to GeForce Now, which would verify you own the games. Then you’ll be able to stream these titles from the servers from the GeForce Now service. Today, thanks to a report from IGN, we’re finding out that on August 24, 2023, you’ll find the first batch of PC Game Pass titles available on the GeForce Now service. You might have already recalled, but GeForce Now has a contract deal with Microsoft to ensure their collection of PC Game Pass titles is available on their subscription service.
Now we know the first batch of games is finally coming to the service. However, don’t expect all of the games to land on the GeForce Now service on that date. It’s only the first few games, like Grounded and Deathloop, for example. More games are coming later on, and it’s only select titles right now. At any rate, this might be a big win for those that actively game through GeForce Now and want even more video game titles to pick through.
Meanwhile, if you haven’t already picked up GeForce Now, there are three tiers available. You have a free tier that you might be keen on trying the service out with. It doesn’t offer too many bells and whistles that you might be keen on having. For instance, the big limitation is the fact that you have only an hour-long session length. But again, it’s a tier to at least get an idea of how well GeForce Now will work.
From there, you can get a Priority tier which gives you up to 1080p resolution, 60 FPS, and six hours of gameplay session lengths for $9.99 a month. Likewise, you have the Ultimate tier, which adds 4K resolution, 120 FPS, and eight hours of gameplay length sessions at $19.99 per month.
