Enter cloud gaming, with NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW service delivering exceptional performance with a hassle-free sign-up process. With minimal setup required, GeForce NOW grants instant access to your game library, compatible with over 4,000 games.

Recently, I tested GeForce NOW and can attest to its user-friendly nature. Setting up a free account and playing Fortnite on my MacBook took less than 10 minutes via my browser. Even with the free option, providing access to 2,000+ games at up to 1080p resolution and 60 FPS for one-hour sessions, accessing Fortnite was effortless with impressive performance and zero lag on a stable internet connection.
Following the RTX Blackwell rollout in the UK, upgrading to the Ultimate tier unlocked access to cutting-edge RTX technologies, including DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for smoother gameplay. The Ultimate tier enables streaming games at up to 5K resolution at 120fps, offering exceptional graphical fidelity and responsiveness, with some games reaching up to 360fps at 1080p.
Equipped with an RTX 5080, gaming in 1440p was visually stunning and smooth, whether exploring or racing in Forza Horizon 5 on the Extreme graphics preset. The game’s visuals were impressive, and input responsiveness was excellent.
