Nvidia has joined other cloud gaming providers including Apple’s App Store and launching a mobile web app version of GeForce NOW service. GeForce NOW is available in beta right now and its more than 5 million registered users can use the app on Safari on the iPhone or iPad and play the games they want. Including Fortnite.
According to info, Nvidia has plans of supportning for its desktop Chrome-based version of GeForce NOW, that only works on Chromebooks for now, to more platforms like Android, Linux and Mac by the first few months of 2021.
GeForce NOW is currently distributed via Mac and PC apps, as well as through dedicated apps on Android and the Nvidia Shield streaming box.
The major upside to GeForce NOW, currently, is that Epic Games’ Fortnite can be played on Apple devices again. While it does involve a slightly annoying workaround and can be actually playable once Epic and Nvidia irons out some kinks, but Fortnite is coming back.
Fortnite’s PC version is available through GeForce NOW, thanks to Nvidia and Epic’s partnership around cloud gaming that allows Epic Game Store titles to be streamed through Nvidia’s platform. However, Fortnite isn’t ready for the iOS version of GeForce NOW quite yet, and Epic and Nvidia are working to bring improved touch controls to the game.
Nvidia is also announcing some cool new additions to the platform, including InnerSloth’s huge multiplayer hit Among Us and support for GOG.com’s PC storefront in time for parent company CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 launch on December 10th. And Nvidia says it’s also increased the number of facilities around the globe it uses to deliver GeForce Now to 22 data centers in 70 countries.
