What is GeForce Now?

GeForce Now is a cloud-based gaming service that works similarly to Netflix.

In other words, you do not install the game on your device because the actual gameplay takes place on a server. That means you can access games like Skyrim so much faster on your device.

All one needs to access this service is a good internet connection, which Nvidia suggests being at least 25/MBs.

Subscription pricing works by providing three tiers for casual players at the bottom, beginning with a free tier for short sessions (1 hour) and limited performance.

The Priority plan costs $9.99 a month and includes both full performance and slightly longer sessions.

While the elite-performance RTX 3080 tier costs a much stiffer $99.99 for a six-month subscription (at the time of writing).
