About this app

NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ transforms your device into a powerful PC gaming rig.

Gamers can play PC titles they already own or purchase new games from popular digital stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and EA. Access 1500+ games, with more released every GFN Thursday. The catalog also features many of the world’s most-played games, including 100+ free-to-play titles, like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Destiny 2 and more. Play with and against millions of other PC players, and never wait for downloads, installs, patches or updates.

Downloading the app will not give you access to the service. Streaming with GeForce NOW requires a membership. Give PC gaming a try with our free membership. Or join one of our premium memberships for an enhanced experience including faster frame rates, RTX ON, priority access to our gaming servers and extended session lengths.

Honestly, I'd call this a 3-star app due to missing features (I can't search content across multiple apps, recommended next viewing is often buggy and gets stuck, etc) but now they have ads on the home screen. Ads. I paid for this device. It was NOT cheap. I would like a partial refund of my device, please. If not, TURN. OFF. THE. ADS. And don't call them "Recommendations". They're ads. If I don't have a service and you recommend it because someone paid you... THAT IS AN AD. That might actually be the literal definition of an ad.

I was an early adopter and have subscribed to the service as soon as it was available. There have always been some issues which were very annoying, like having to log in to Steam each time I started a game, but I learned to live with those. Recently however, the service has been unusable with their network diagnostics tool telling me the same thing. The latency at peak times makes any game unplayable and they'll also tell you this much. Now, originally I considered this service to be an alternative to having to buy a proper gaming rig. I'm not into competitive PvP stuff anyway, so the somewhat higher latency was a tradeoff I could live with. This however, is a deal-breaker. I understand that infrastructure is under heavy load during peak times during a quarantine, but I don't think I'm asking too much when I say that those are exactly the times I would like to play my games, so the app is no longer fit for purpose. Please fix this, or at least give us the improved input-lag fixes PC users can configure for themselves on Android.

Works pretty well for me, played a few games and they work great most of the time. There are issues when you play a steam game with a usb adaptor plugged in (mouse and keyboard in the usb adaptor ports) i.e. the app crashes all the time, just mouse or keyboard with no usb adaptor (for extra ports) works fine. Good range of games, no downloads - woohoo.
