GEFORCE NOW
effectively encourages you to buy more games through
existing storefronts. It feels like a win-win for everybody
involved. No more, alas.
Fortunately, GeForce Now remains an outstanding
value proposition. While Stadia is limited to a couple
dozen titles that won’t work on any other platforms,
Nvidia’s service still supports nearly 400 games, with
new titles added every week. You can also install
another 1,000 or so ‘single-session’ games through
Steam, which haven’t been officially optimized for
the service yet, but can still be played on-demand,
with Steam cloud saves tracking your progress.
Since Activision Blizzard’s biggest titles live in the
company’s own Battle.net client, don’t expect that
to work as a side door here.
Fingers crossed that Activision Blizzard and other
holdout publishers like EA decide to play nice with
Nvidia GeForce Now still has a huge
selection of games for you to choose from
