JUNE 2022 PCWorld 53being only an hour.
The one-hour
session length can
be frustrating when
you have to log in,
queue up, and end
up in a longer
League of Legends
match, as the
session might end
before the game
does. But it’s
enough time to work on some Destiny or
Warframe dailies, or to get some piecemeal
progress in Far Cry 6 or Life Is Strange.
We did some testing to see if there
were any short-term limitations on how
many game sessions you could pop in and
out of, though, and we didn’t seem to hit
any kind of blocker. Additionally, GeForce
Now’s own FAQ confirms that there is no
daily limit on the number of sessions that
you can play.
For some added flare, GeForce Now
does support the Nvidia Highlights system
(fave.co/3wvxwU7), which is a feature with
GeForce Experience and Nvidia GPUs that
allows you to capture clutch moments,
victory streaks, and other key experiences
from your gameplay for supported games.
When you launch a game that supports this
feature in GeForce Now, it will let you know
and how you can take advantage of it while
you’re playing.things are for your access level. In our testing,
the Free access had a typical queue time of a
couple of minutes, the longest being 8
minutes, but time of day and location will
affect your experience. Once you’re through
the line, you’ll launch into a full-screen view of
what is effectively a very trimmed-down
remote desktop environment. In there, you’ll
be prompted by the game’s platform, such as
Steam, asking you to log in to your account.
Once logged in, your chosen game should
launch right away.
All of the games within GeForce Now are
installed and kept up to date on the service’s
end, so you won’t need to wait for any
patching or updates yourself. This seems to
be standard to most cloud gaming services
out there, but it’s nice to not have to wait for
the download and installation when starting
up a new game.
As mentioned before, your play sessions
do have a time limit, with the Free plan
The GeForce Now Library interface.
