A Revolutionary Upgrade for Cloud Gaming!

Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service is about to get a serious upgrade! After two and a half years since its last major enhancement, this September marks the arrival of cutting-edge Blackwell GPUs, allowing you to harness the power of what’s akin to an RTX 5080 in the cloud. Imagine streaming high-end gaming experiences on your phone, Mac, PC, TV, or Chromebook for just $20 a month!

The Game Library Is About to Double!

Excitingly, Nvidia is reintroducing the "Install-to-Play" feature, enabling gamers to install their own titles without waiting for extensive curation. This move is anticipated to almost double the GeForce Now library overnight! While you won’t be able to install just any old PC game, over 2,300 titles available via Valve’s Steam Cloud Play will be ready for immediate access. Nvidia’s product marketing director, Andrew Fear, assures that many other games and demos will also be added at their release dates!

Stream in Stunning Clarity!

New enhancements don’t stop at game accessibility. Gamers with robust bandwidth can now stream in 5K resolution at a jaw-dropping 120fps, or even up to 360fps at 1080p. A new, optional Cinematic Quality Streaming mode allows for enhanced visuals, reducing color bleed and improving detail in darker scenes. Get ready for faster connections as streaming speeds jump from 75Mbps to 100Mbps, utilizing advanced technologies for crystal-clear text and HUD elements.

Exciting Features for Enthusiasts!

Whether you’re a Steam Deck OLED owner or an LG 4K OLED TV user, there are more perks! The Steam Deck now supports a native 90Hz refresh rate, and LG is launching a dedicated GeForce Now app, eliminating the need for external devices. Additionally, Logitech racing wheels with haptic feedback are set to enhance gameplay dynamics!

What Does the RTX 5080 Performance Mean?

But how much of an upgrade will the RTX 5080 really offer? Nvidia hasn't confirmed that every game will run on the RTX 5080 tier immediately, as the Ultimate tier will still feature RTX 4080-class cards for now. While Nvidia maintains that these Blackwell Superpods could be up to 2.8 times faster, latency remains a critical factor when streaming.

No Price Increases—For Now!

Here’s the good news: the $19.99 monthly fee for GeForce Now Ultimate won't see a price hike. Nvidia assures gamers that they’re not planning to increase costs anytime soon, although they remain open to future adjustments based on power usage trends.

Cloud Gaming Revolutionized!

Nvidia is also venturing into innovative territories by integrating GeForce Now into Discord, allowing users to jump into games like Fortnite with no installations. This game-changing feature is currently in the demo phase with Epic Games and could reshape how players experience cloud gaming!

The Road Ahead for GeForce Now!

With the launch of RTX 5080-powered servers and exciting new features, Nvidia’s GeForce Now aims to redefine cloud gaming. As we eagerly await September’s rollout, will this influx of games finally make GeForce Now feel like a genuine console alternative? Stay tuned, as we dive into the future of gaming!
