However, NVIDIA's GeForce NOW service could change that.

You can access your existing gaming library from the cloud, utilizing the latest graphical technologies like NVIDIA DLSS, Reflex, Multi-Frame Generation, and more, thanks to remote access to GeForce RTX 50-series tech via NVIDIA's servers. Over 4,500 games are available on GeForce NOW, ensuring a wide range of gaming options for any genre, including FPS and RPG enthusiasts. Players can either instantly access games ready for play or download those requiring installation to the service's cloud hardware. The service is platform-agnostic, allowing access to games across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass, Battle.net, and more. Furthermore, GeForce NOW offers a free tier with access to over 2000 games, 1080p resolution, and 60 FPS.
