Gamers, the wait is over! Nvidia’s cloud-based gaming service, the Nvidia GeForce NOW, is finally being made available to all interested users in India. The service was first introduced in India in beta mode back in April this year. Now, after almost four months of testing, the gaming service is out of beta and being made available to all interested users. Which means, no more waitlist and no more limited passes
What is Nvidia GeForce Now?
For the unversed, the Nvidia GeForce Now is a cloud-based gaming service that doesn’t require users to own a sophisticated gaming console or a high-end gaming PC to play AAA titles. Instead, it uses cloud to deliver real-time gameplay to users’ laptop, desktop, Mac, Chromebook, SHIELD TV, select Samsung and LG TVs, iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Steam Deck, VR headsets, and more
At the moment, this service offers over 4,500 ready-to-play and install-to-play gaming titles to its subscribers. Its library includes popular titles like Counter-Strike 2, Resident Evil: Requiem, PRAGMATA and more. Nvidia says that the install-to-play titles are supported through NVIDIA NVMesh cloud storage technology, which allows GeForce NOW-supported Steam games to download directly into cloud storage, which in turn mirrors the experience of having them on a local PC

In addition to that, users can also connect their existing gaming accounts from platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Gaijin and GOG to this service, to get access to all of their favourite titles in one place without having to worry about buying dedicated hardware
Furthermore, the availability of gaming titles through the cloud lets users pick up their games where you left off on any supported device. This in turn makes it easier for interested gamers to play the gaming titles of their choice on the go
