NVIDIA formally announces GeForce NOW, the Netflix of video game streaming
NVIDIA has today announced its latest video game streaming service GeForce NOW, which is more of a rebranding of NVIDIA GRID. With GeForce NOW you’ll be able to stream all of the latest titles from NVIDIA’s “powerful cloud-gaming supercomputers” on the company’s family of SHIELD devices.
Of course, you will need a subscription with GeForce NOW, however, the first three months of your subscription are free. After the fact, consumers can expect to pay $7.99/month. It becomes available on October 1 in North America, Europe, and Japan.
The only downside to a service like this is that in real scenarios, even playing on gigabit connections, streaming games from the cloud is still rough and a hit-or-miss at times. Hopefully this new effort with GeForce NOW will be different and will truly provide a great experience.
Anyone plan on taking it for a spin?
