Forget about system requirements, PC gaming is as easy as ever to get into

Do you think you’d get into PC gaming if you didn’t have to face the many difficulties it poses, skipping past all the compatibility issues of new builds and the never-ending upgrade cycle to keep up with system requirements?

Believe it or not, you actually can get in on PC gaming without facing these less-than-favorable elements thanks to NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

GeForce NOW is a cloud gaming service that takes a ton of fuss out of PC gaming. You don’t have to figure out whether a bunch of disparate PC components will all work together in a system. You don’t have to tweak all the various, esoteric graphics settings in each game to try and get them running smoothly on your system. You don’t have to upgrade components every couple of years just to get support for the latest games either. 

In many ways, NVIDIA GeForce NOW is much like console gaming in that you get a system that you can just jump into and start playing without having to figure out how to make things work or optimize performance. 

GeForce NOW runs games on virtual machines in the cloud that are already optimized for gaming. By using the service, you’re just connecting to those powerful gaming machines and sending your controller or keyboard and mouse inputs over the internet to them, and they’ll send back the game visuals to your device. Like magic, you’ll have the game running on your system without even so much as having to download it. 

You can use GeForce NOW on a wide variety of devices, including installing the app on your phone to play games on the go. You can set it up on a low-power laptop that you’d never have dreamed of running the latest games on. Streaming sticks and select TVs can also support it, giving you the big-screen experience.
