eForce Now is Nvidia’s cloud-
based game-streaming service.
For those who aren’t familiar

game to your PC and needing an expensive
GPU to get the most out of it, you just need a

subscription to Nvidia’s service, which can
range from free to $20 per month. Note: The
games themselves are not provided at anysubscription level—more on that point when

the service with no long-term limitations.
