  I’ve literally never used geforce now once. I always skip this bloatware when i install the drivers.

    This specifically is for playing the game online if I’m not wrong. It makes sense why some people like it.

      I don’t think so. It looks like it’s for streaming the game from your PC to your Steam Deck at home? I’m not 100% sure.

  Fuckin’ finally. This could actually help people trying to run fortnites and apexes and whatnot on steam decks.

  For those who don’t know, GeForce Now is a cloud option when you don’t have access to a strong PC to run a game. Back when Cyberpunk 2077 was unattainable for many, my advice to some was to run it through GeForce Now.

  Interestingly, they also have “day passes”, making it practical for when you are out spending most of a day away from a gaming computer. Save files still synchronize to local games when you’re back.

    Do you mean you can use their cloud service to run a game for you, sort of like a cloud 3D render farm?

      Yup. You log in to something like Steam or UPlay, and it lets you play games you have on your account. It’s only their supported list sadly.

      The service is fast enough I’ve been able to play mouse-based shooters. Latency is not perfect, but home monitors and input devices sometimes have comparable imperfectness.

  Be aware that this won’t install in Bazzite.
