What Is Nvidia's Cloud Gaming Service?
GeForce NOW by Nvidia is a cloud gaming platform. What it basically lets you do is play games on your PC or stream on your PC via a remote server rather than actually having to run it on your PC. So if you don't have the requirements, this service saves you a lot; all you need is a stable internet connection. Cloud-based gaming is compatible device-wide and can be accessed on laptops, desktops, smartphones, smart TVs, and any other device compatible enough.
