Although constantly evolving, the service GeForce Now from NVIDIA is not quite able to replace your PS5 or your Gaming PC.
And it’s the vice president and general manager of the service, Phil Eisler, who says so.
GeForce Now is not (yet) an alternative to consoles or PC Gaming
Formerly called GRID, the NVIDIA GeForce Now service has been available to the general public since February 2020. It is a subscription-based cloud gaming service that allows users to access a catalog of streaming games, the latter being hosted directly on NVIDIA servers. “ The ultimate cloud gaming experience “, according to NVIDIA.
However, in a recent interview with TechRadar GamingGeForce Now VP Phil Eisler explains that the service isn’t ready to replace your PS5 (or Xbox Series X) or gaming PC just yet, but it’s ” of an excellent alternative “.
” We’re not there yet, but cloud gaming is a great alternative for those who can’t afford a new console or gaming PC or just want to play their games on other devices », Explains Phil Eisler. The latter also indicates that he takes very much into consideration the feedback from the players to improve the service.
New improvements planned
Since its launch, GeForce Now has come a long way, and NVIDIA expects the service to continue to improve, until it offers a level of performance capable of surpassing the PS5 and Xbox Series X. “RTX 3080” (at €19.99/month) allows you to enjoy top-notch performance, with an RTX-compatible platform, 8-hour gaming sessions, but also 4K resolution and the possibility of climbing up to 120 fps on some games.
Remember that the NVIDIA GeForce Now service is accessible from certain web browsers, but also as an application for Windows, MacOS, Android TV, not to mention availability on certain LG Smart TVs, as well as via Safari (on iPhone and iPad in particular) .
