Yo, reader! I’m glad you keep an eye in my blog. Today’s story, is about the new GeForce Now service from Nvidia, which is only available currently for mac users since it is in beta. In this service you can log in to one of their virtual computers on the cloud, to be able to play video games through your steam account.
I tested this new gaming service and I can say that this is a pretty good way to play. Before Nvidia launched this, there was another one called OnLive, the Netflix for gaming, you were able to rent a game for a certain amount of time or even buy it, but it was a copy of the game and it was never yours. It used their self-made interface, it means that I couldn’t see anything but just what they allowed me to see with their own design. Which was identical to the windows tablet or phone theme, like squares or windows. A long time ago I tested this service, I was most of the time logged in and playing games since I couldn’t afford a gaming PC and when they closed it, like around 3 years ago, I got really sad. Anyways, when I heard about Geforce Now I remembered the old times in OnLive, but this time it was different, the gaming process was through your steam account and not by renting or buying the game through a custom menu, it was actually a windows 10 virtual machine. As you know, I’m a pretty curious person, therefore I decided to click anywhere to check if I could get into the desktop menu, but as you already know, everything was locked up. But I never gave up, actually I managed to install chrome, through the internet explorer
