Nvidia’s game streaming service GeForce Now has been in beta for quite some time, but now, the company has finally opened it for public access. However, the company is still limiting its Stadia competitor to the US so far. So, if you’re in India and you want to test out Nvidia’s take on the whole cloud-gaming concept, here’s how you can use Nvidia GeForce Now in India right now.
First off, what is GeForce Now? Simply put, GeForce Now is a cloud game streaming service that lets users play high-end games on basically any computer or smartphone they have without worrying about the hardware inside their system. You can play battle royale games like Apex Legends on a MacBook or a low-end Windows laptop, or even an Android smartphone. All you really need is an account with GeForce Now, and a fast internet connection. If you have that, you’re all set to play your games wherever you like and on whatever device you want.
So, now that we have a general idea about what GeForce Now is, let’s take a look at how you can use it in India right away. Here’s what you need to do.
- Log in with your Nvidia account if you have one, or create a new account like I did.
In my case, I was testing the service on our incredibly slow office WiFi with a VPN running on top of it. So I wasn’t really surprised when GeForce Now said that the network will support only 1280×800 at 30FPS streaming. Your mileage may vary depending on the WiFi speeds you have at your place, and the VPN service you’re using.
Play Your Favorite Games Anywhere with GeForce Now
So that’s basically it. You can now play any of the over 400 supported games on GeForce Now (although GTA V isn’t on it) on any device you like. It’s pretty great. However bear in mind that since we’re using a VPN to access the service, you might have to deal with higher than usual ping values. I would recommend not playing multiplayer shooters until the service is actually available in India, otherwise you might get really annoyed with the latency here.
