Game streaming: Nvidia GeForce Now even without games from Bethesda


Picture: Nvidia

Nvidia’s game streaming service GeForce Now left the roughly two-year beta phase in early February. At the moment, Nvidia’s efforts to make games rendered in the cloud socially acceptable must accept two major dampers. Shortly after Activision Blizzard, Bethesda also jumps out.

The player brings (actually) the games

In addition to a free version, Nvidia also offers the service in the paid Founders Edition for 5.49 euros per month with high priority and extended session duration.

In the basic version, the game sessions are limited to one hour and raytracing is also not necessary. In both cases, games are rendered in 1080p at 60 frames per second.

In order to have GeForce Now games calculated in the cloud, the player must own them on Steam, in the Epic Store, Origin or a comparable platform – and it should be ready to go. Should, because with Bethesda the second heavyweight jumped off the GeForce Now train.

GeForce Now also turns its back on Bethesda

After Activision Blizzard has already excluded all of GeForce Now’s own titles, Nvidia announced in his GeForce Now Forum now the provisional end for the titles of the game developer Bethesda is known. There it says, “Please be advised most Bethesda Softworks titles will be removed from the GeForce Now service today.

The game Wolfenstein: Youngblood (test), which can convince with high FPS and extremely smooth frame times, remains available to users of the game streaming service, including ray tracing. Series such as Fallout or The Elder Scrolls, on the other hand, are no longer available. However, the background is not explained, as when Activision Blizzard left the company.

Nvidia recently had positive things to say about GeForce Now: Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming triple-A title also on GeForce Now – as soon as the game is released after the five-month postponement in September.
