The only thing I have a complaint about is the controls. I get that you're meant to have a gamepad with it, but I can't get one. So, Ive been forced to use the on screen controls, and Im sorry, but they absolutely suck. Its so hard. So, I would like to request a system that can allow us to move around the buttons on screen. Because to be honest, the places of the buttons right now are so bad in my opinion, that its taking 2 stars away. Just this one simple feature will get my rating to 5 stars.

I wish there were more games available and a better search option or literally ANY filter option at all. As it stands you're going to a third party website to look for games available. The ping rate is also also pretty high, even though I have amazing internet. Other than that it's solid. Even though the other reviews have claimed waiting half an hour on a server to play, the most I've ever waited is 3 minutes. With a paid subscription it's almost instant, even on mobile data.

I have basic internet in a small town. This is by far the best and least laggy service, I play for hours and the experience feels like playing a console. It's awesome having it on my phone with a controller. The downfall is that the game library is pretty limited. I really wish they had some Elden Ring or Skyrim! I play Kingdom Come: Deliverance on my phone with a controller or on my terrible desktop computer and the experience is amazing! This is the most reliable streaming service I have used.

Something of a revelation for me. I have several games from over the years that I never expected to be able to play since there's always something more important or pressing to buy than a good PC. The ability to play those - and on my phone - is huge. And for free! Even the paid tiers are a pretty good value when compared to outright buying a PC. Nice UI as well, very clean. A wishlist would be a nice addition. It's not a perfect service, but I'm really happy I stumbled upon it.

I was actually very surprised by the performance I was getting in games. I see a lot of potential with nvidia's game streaming service. Its faster and smoother than steam link, and offers better compatibility with games not on the steam launcher (or snow runner in my case). Lag is almost none existant in my case with a decent wifi connection. This might be an entirely different story in the case of first person shooters though. Overall I'm very impressed and recommend this over stadia.

Seems great! There is a few things that could be done though. A section to add all your games to the library without searching. Some tweaking to the connection for more stability. And the adding of more games! Like other say there is no tomb raider. There is also a few games I have on steam that arnt listed. One other thing is the built in game pad doesn't work with some games but I'd suggest a Bluetooth controller anyways. This could go far!

It works really well when the servers cooperate, but it just isn't reliable for when you really need it. Servers are bipolar during the day, you'll be having a good 45 minute run with no stutter, and then it freezes and red signal pops up. Boom. You're done for a couple hours, because then you get stuck on the "wrapping up session" loop. No problems in the middle of then night, but almost unbearable in the day. Can't see myself leaving the free version as long as this persists.

Great idea if you're close to a server, not so great if you're not. I leave my server on auto but it always tells my that I'm too far from the server. Not really a problem until the latency spikes high and the game becomes so pixelated it's unplayable. Other than that it runs smooth and looks great. Waiting for them to add Fallout games to the list.

Definitely a great experience once you get into the game. When I have good bandwidth, the frame rate is great even over wireless. My favorite is aspect is the fact that I can play games I already own; I don't have to buy them again. It's a shame a few publishers pulled support. I do wish I didn't have to log into Steam, etc., every time I want to play a game. I get how the setup works, but there must be a better way. The menu on both the desktop and Android apps could use a makeover.

For most of my games, this service is great. I do have a few minor issues due to WiFi, but otherwise, it runs as needed. My only major issue is that the support team is complete garbage. I had issues with one game that required contacting support to fix. Not only did it not get fixed, but the support team refused to listen, kept switching to a different person, and continued to run me through circles. In the end, I was forced to give up on getting the issue fixed.

I have fiber, and everything is hardwired. I still have problems almost every session. But the really obnoxious thing is how often i get booted for "inactivity". Like when i have to use the bathroom, or make a sandwich. I've gotten used to just saving a lot, but come on. EXTREMELY irritating to constantly have to start over. Honestly? I miss Stadia. It wasn't perfect, but it just worked.

If you have the free version, then hopefully, you have no expectations... because it's free. But you get what you pay for. No other cloud service has nearly as great of graphics and as smooth gameplay as Nvidia GeForce now. I've tried every subscription, and by far, this one is the best. Currently, I use the 20$ subscription and couldn't be happier. Even the 10$ subscription was no disappointment, especially with RTX capabilities.

I🔥t's like having a console every were I go!!! All I have to do is bring my controller and headset and it's smooth sailing from there!!!🤩 I get to play my favorite games like Fortnite and Spider-Man in class, at the Airport, etc. The only thing that I don't like is that the sessions are only in 1hr increments. Doesn't take that long to load back in though, and i gives you time warnings😃9/10 🔥

Been using GeForce Now for probably 5 or 6 months. Initially, I was impressed but left wanting with it's performance. When it ran well it ran like native. But when it didn't, it would basically become unplayable for chunks at a time. Now though? Flawless. UW FHD at 120fps, not a hiccup in sight. Diablo IV, Starfield, Monster Hunter World, Baldurs Gate 3, Battlefield 2042, Dead Island 2, the list keeps going. All running like native. It's well worth the money

Off and on with android, but really takes mobile gaming to another level with the games it works with. There is a real need for good and comprehensive, like an app, reviews of what games work on tablets or phones, and how well. Sometimes, opening or starting a game on PC is necessary, but then you can play thru just fine on your phone, if you want.

Loving the app. But noticed an issue yesterday when I was simply trying to log in. If you have bing or copilot as your default browser. It'll never log you in. It'll send a confirmation to your email, but page will not refresh or it'll error out when you return from the Gmail app. I tried for about 30 minutes. Then I even tried staying on the page but check my email on my PC. It still didn't work. But the second I change my default to use chrome, no issues. Instant log in from the in-app webpage

I really wanted to like this service since it's a very cool platform. I had stadia which worked well when it was available, I thought this would be similar. Despite being very close to a data center and showing sub 5ms pings I drop frames down to 0 consistently making gameplay impossible. I have zero issues with *any* other service. Really disappointed, the focus seems to be on making sure my card is saved for monthly renewals.
