GeForce Now, Nvidia’s cloud gaming support, is now accessible immediately through Google Chrome on Home windows 10 and macOS. We had the opportunity to immediately examination this new performance.

• Nvidia Geforce Now Chromebook

• Nvidia’s GeForce Now game streaming service has launched for the Chrome web browser and M1 Macs in beta (via XDA-Developers), bringing resource intensive games to laptops and other devices that.
• Nvidia Added beta support for Google From Chrome to GeForce Now game streaming platform. This means that users who may not have enough ability to play a particular game on their computer can now do the tedious work in the cloud and play the game through the Google browser.
• Use GeForce Now via the browser on any unsupported PC.

Nvidia’s GeForce Now game streaming service has launched for the Chrome web browser and M1 Macs in beta (via XDA-Developers), bringing resource intensive games to laptops and other devices that might not have been powerful to run them on their own. We just tested out the Chrome browser version on a Mac and a Windows 10 PC, and it seems to be running smoothly.

GeForce Now already had applications for Windows 10 and Android devices, but expanded to an even wider audience with a beta launch for Chromebooks in August of 2020, and followed it up by beating Stadia to iOS devices with a web app workaround that lets you stream games through the Safari web browser there.

Now, theoretically anyone with a Chrome browser can start streaming by heading GeForce Now’s site and creating an account, even on a weak laptop. Or, if you’re on a new M1 Mac, according to release notes for this new version of GeForce Now, through a new dedicated application. Nvidia’s changelog also lists a few other changes to make the service more useful in a browser, like the ability to create dedicated shortcuts for your games and a new way to share links that can send your friend directly to a game.

Like Google Stadia and Amazon Luna, GeForce Now is essentially a PC in the cloud that you “rent” to stream your games. You can play with a mouse and keyboard, a gamepad, even a wireless headset — all of them worked for us seamlessly in Chrome. It is worth noting Microsoft Edge isn’t currently supported, even though it’s a Chromium browser now. Of course, you’ll need to be in a region where GeForce Now is available.

GeForce Now’s expansion hasn’t been all sunshine and roses. The service has Steam integration, so you can unlock PC games you might already own to stream via the service, but not all games work because developers have to opt-in. Many of them weren’t too happy with Nvidia because GeForce Now let players stream their games without permission (and let Nvidia profit off a monthly membership). And though its rival Google Stadia has a smaller library of even more tightly curated games, it can often offer a clearer picture and higher resolution than Nvidia does right now.

The full list of devices GeForce Now supports is available here. GeForce Now will also come come to LG TVs in 2021.

You don't need to install the Windows desktop app anymore if you're using Chrome.

What you need to know

• NVIDIA GeForce Now allows you to access PC games you own through the cloud on other machines and mobile devices.
• Following browser support for Chrome OS and iOS, the service can now be accessed in the Chrome browser on Windows 10.
• Edge not officially supported yet.

NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming platform has been available through the browser for a while now since it launched on Chromebooks and more recently on iOS. Officially, on Windows 10, you've needed to use the desktop app, though a bit of browser trickery proved successful. That's no longer required as GeForce Now is officially supported now in Google Chrome on Windows 10 and on macOS.

'In 2.0.27 we are adding beta support for the Google Chrome browser, which will enable millions more prospective new PC gamers to easily play the latest games on Windows and macOS. (ChromeOS is already supported.) Other platforms may work, but are unsupported.'

Edge users might be licking their lips at this since usually Chrome support for something means it'll work in the newest version of Microsoft's browser. Sadly, this isn't the case, and official support for Edge is still missing at this time.

In most cases the web app is just the same to use as the desktop app and can even be installed as a PWA. The desktop app still has a few more features on tap, but it's one less thing to install at least.

Also new with the expanded Chrome support it's now easier to share games with friends through social media, as well as an easy way to create bookmarks and desktop shortcuts to your favorite games for quicker access.
