About this app

NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ transforms your device into a powerful PC gaming rig.

Gamers can play PC titles they already own or purchase new games from popular digital stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and EA. Access 1500+ games, with more released every GFN Thursday. The catalog also features many of the world’s most-played games, including 100+ free-to-play titles, like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Destiny 2 and more. Play with and against millions of other PC players, and never wait for downloads, installs, patches or updates.

Downloading the app will not give you access to the service. Streaming with GeForce NOW requires a membership. Give PC gaming a try with our free membership. Or join one of our premium memberships for an enhanced experience including faster frame rates, RTX ON, priority access to our gaming servers and extended session lengths.

Members looking to continue use of GameStream can use Steam Link to stream games directly from their PC. Steam Link is free, supports 4K resolutions, and available for all major devices and platforms including NVIDIA SHIELD.

For an optimal experience, we recommend 5GHz WiFi or Ethernet connection with at least 15Mbps. You can find a full list of system requirements and supported gamepads here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/system-reqs/

Works pretty well for me, played a few games and they work great most of the time. There are issues when you play a steam game with a usb adaptor plugged in (mouse and keyboard in the usb adaptor ports) i.e. the app crashes all the time, just mouse or keyboard with no usb adaptor (for extra ports) works fine. Good range of games, no downloads - woohoo.

Honestly, I'd call this a 3-star app due to missing features (I can't search content across multiple apps, recommended next viewing is often buggy and gets stuck, etc) but now they have ads on the home screen. Ads. I paid for this device. It was NOT cheap. I would like a partial refund of my device, please. If not, TURN. OFF. THE. ADS. And don't call them "Recommendations". They're ads. If I don't have a service and you recommend it because someone paid you... THAT IS AN AD. That might actually be the literal definition of an ad.

I love the Nvidia Shield, but the move to Android TV as the home screen is almost a deal breaker- it's blatant advertising pretending to be "recommendations" with no option to retain the previous home screen, which was fine. Now you have to install a third party amateurish looking loader. The home screen in the above screenshots is no longer there. Totally unimpressed. 0 stars!
