![]() ![]() You just link your steam in gfn and launch the game and it may ask you again to log in once it launches steam. GFN site would redirect me to Steam site, where I would log in and allow GFN to export my games and saves. Wouldn't it be better to just import my games and saves to GFN via some sort of secure Steam web service or something like that? Something like PayPal payment, i.e. Same for Blizzard account for example (Does Blizzard allow cloud gaming in their TOS?). But how secure it is? Yeah, I have Steam Guard, but they'll know my login, password anyway and have access to my account, while I'm logged in. ![]() It's just thin client, right? As I understand, in order to play my Steam games, I need to install Steam client to my virtual GeForce Now computer and log in to it. It's also great idea to be able to play the same game on laptop or from work without need to install gigabytes of data. I would want to give it a try, because my computer starts to be a little bit old for gaming. It would be just perfect, if it would have Linux support, as we would no longer need Windows as primary gaming platform in this case. Now we just need more games to play on GeForce Now, and Nvidia might finally have a decent chance of having a cloud gaming service worth paying for.I personally like idea of cloud gaming. There's a lot of room for improvement, then, but as I said before, baby steps and all that.įundamentally, the biggest issue I had with the service - finding out what games you can play on it - has now been fixed, which is a good thing. Judging by the 74 games I can now play on GeForce Now from my synced Steam library (which is still only 20% of my entire library, I might add), Square Enix have brought back a number of their big hitters (although no Final Fantasy XV), but there's still no sign of Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, 2K, Konami or Rockstar. ![]() Nvidia now let developers opt-in to the service before making their games available on it, but there are several big publishers who are still missing in action. Things have settled down a little bit since GeForce Now's tumultuous launch. Combine that with the constant flip-flopping of several major publishers and developers leaving and re-joining the service over its first few months and it was like watching a car crash in slow motion. They advertised a couple of the big hitters such as Fortnite and The Witcher 3 within the app when you fired it up, but figuring out what other games from your library worked on GeForce Now was a right pain in the rear. It taps into your existing Steam, Uplay and Epic Games Store libraries, so it never required you to buy games for it like you do on Google Stadia, but the games in said libraries also have to be supported by the service, which involved tedious manual searching to see what you could actually play. Indeed, when GeForce Now finally came out of beta earlier in the year, Nvidia were very cagey about which games were actually supported on the service. If your PC's a bit creaky or you've since swapped it for a basic laptop, you can still play games with it by tapping into Nvidia's hardware in the cloud rather than what's inside your device. Like most of the big cloud gaming services around at the moment, GeForce Now is based around the idea of letting you play the latest and greatest games without having to own a high-powered gaming PC. Update your GeForce Now app and you'll find its new Game Sync feature in the Settings menu. Besides, Steam is the probably where most of your games live these days, and it will definitely go a long way to help making the service more usable than before. Once it's set up, you can also disable Game Sync at any time, and you can refresh it if you've recently bought a new game and want to see if it's on GeForce Now as well.Īlas, the feature only works with your Steam library for now, not your Uplay and Epic accounts that are also supported on the service, but hey, baby steps. Still, provided you've got your Steam profile set to public, all you need to do is hit that sync button, log into your Steam account through GeForce Now and you're done. If there isn't, you'll probably need to update GeForce Now. In the top right corner, there should now be a new Game Sync section with a little sync button you need to click. To get yourself set up, you'll need to open up the GeForce Now app on your PC and click on its Settings cog. Thankfully, Nvidia have finally rectified this issue by introducing a new feature that lets you sync your Steam library to your GeForce Now account, making it much easier to see which of your many hundreds of games are actually supported by the streaming service. When I reviewed all the major cloud gaming services earlier in the year, one of my biggest frustrations with Nvidia's GeForce Now platform was that it was a real faff to work out what you could actually play on it. ![]()
