Googlebooks will get full GeForce Now support ‘later this year’

Nvidia has announced that GeForce Now will be supported on Google’s new Gemini-infused laptops before the end of the year. These Googlebooks, which are available from Acer, Dell, ASUS, HP, and Lenovo, share a common baseline of 16GB to 32GB of RAM, touchscreen displays, and premium materials. The laptops feature a prominent Glowbar on their covers, and run on Android, which is essentially a parallel operating system to Google's mobile Android.

While these devices do not have discrete graphics cards capable of running most games, GeForce Now is designed to fill that gap.

Nvidia's announcement leaves a three-month window before the expected release date for GeForce Now support on Googlebooks. However, Google Chrome and Firefox already support GeForce Now natively through the browser, allowing users to access games on these laptops. It's anticipated that an app tailored to the specific hardware configuration of the Googlebooks will be released in the near future.

This development comes as no surprise, considering Google's past partnerships with Nvidia and the focus on Googlebooks as one of the main targets for GeForce Now when it was first introduced. Additionally, the initial showcase of Googlebooks featured many titles running through GeForce Now rather than native hardware. Today, GeForce Now also announced that several new titles will be added to its lineup, providing more options for users to explore.
