Been testing GeForce Now for a couple of weeks. I already have a PS5 and an RX 9060 PC build. First off, I think it can replace a casual gamer who doesn't do multiplayer much.
I'm using it on my 2.5 GHz connection with a 60 Mbps BSNL fibre line and the experience is stable. Imagine a 5 GHz router with 100 Mbps – that would be awesome.
I've finished Pragmata with full path tracing and ray reconstruction, played 10 hrs of Crimson Desert, plus Cyberpunk and Black Myth.
Since getting GeForce Now I haven't played a single game on my PC – I mainly stream on my iPad and TV.
Pros1) Ideal for casual gamers who play less than 3 hrs a day (100 hrs monthly limit after the 90‑day trial).
2) No need to worry about PC power consumption – the laptop battery lasts longer since you're streaming.
3) Perfect for folks who only own a few games a year (3‑4 titles) – you can subscribe only when you want.
4) Games look amazing with ray‑tracing and path‑tracing.
5) You can game on the go, on TV, laptop, mobile, etc.
6) No storage worries.
7) You always get the latest GPU.
8) It can replace consoles – games are cheaper on Steam/Epic and you get better FPS and quality.
9) No worries about hardware failures like PSU, GPU or RAM.
Cons1) 100 hrs monthly limit after the beta.
2) Limited library – no Elden Ring, Rockstar titles like RDR2 or GTA, or Sony exclusives such as Spider‑Man or God of War.
3) You must own the games (no piracy, no shared accounts).
4) Unstable on mobile data – latency swings between 40 ms and over 100 ms.
5) Subscription model – terms can change, service can shut down (like in Singapore), prices may rise.
6) If the internet goes down, you can't play.
7) No mods or trainers – it feels like a console.
Summary: Test it during the beta – there are no time limits yet. If you like it, you'll save a GPU upgrade. It's pretty amazing for India as long as prices stay low. Even at ₹2,000 per month it's worth it when you factor in electricity costs.
A 5080 costs ₹2‑2.5 lakhs, and that's just the consumer version. The GeForce Now version has 16 GB VRAM, effectively giving you 52 GB VRAM on the cloud.
Shared accounts don't work? So they just want each user to log in with their own ID?
I wonder how long they'll keep pushing a subscription model while promising cleaner air.
Hold on, which game are you talking about?
Why is there a monthly limit? And why can't I play the games I've already bought?
'You'll own nothing and be happy' – that's what they're saying.
What's the name of this game?
How many more of these pointless reviews do we need? Stop encouraging people to throw money at these mega‑corporations – it only makes the component shortage worse. Think ahead, yaar.
Here's my take:
1) Most games don't run on an RTX 5080; they fall back to RTX 4080. Very few titles actually use the 5080.
2) The native LG TV app doesn't support keyboard and mouse – only controllers work, and even my Cosmic Byte Blitz doesn't get rumble. Since these are PC games, many don't play well with a controller. Also, the controllers only connect via Bluetooth; they won't work with a 2.4 GHz dongle.
3) Most GOG titles fail to launch.
4) I'm in Delhi and the latency is fine. The max video output on my LG C2 is 4K 120 Hz HDR10, which looks great.
Overall, the biggest issue for me is the missing keyboard‑and‑mouse support on my smart TV, so I'm thinking of cancelling the subscription until they fix it.
How does GeForce Now actually work? Do I need to own every game, or are some titles included? I've also heard there are storage limits and other restrictions. And how do the different subscription tiers differ from each other?
Can you share info about co‑op or multiplayer games? For example, if I want to play locally with someone at home – titles like Mortal Kombat or A Way Out – does GeForce Now support that? I assume Steam Remote Play works. What about online multiplayer games?
