How to Use Nvidia GeForce Now in India Right Away

Nvidia’s game streaming serviceGeForce Nowhas been in beta for quite some time, but now, the company has finally opened it for public access. However, the company is still limiting itsStadiacompetitor 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.

What is GeForce 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 playbattle royale gameslikeApex Legendson 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.

In concept, this is similar to other options like Microsoft’sProject xCloud, and Google Stadia. However, unlike Google Stadia, Nvidia isn’t restricting users to a very short list of devices anymore. You can use GeForce onWindows,macOS, Nvidia Shield TV, and Android smartphones. The only thing missing so far is iOS, and I hope Nvidia adds that soon as well.

How to Use GeForce Now in India

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.

When you launch a game for the first time, GeForce Now might ask you to sign in with the account you use for the game. It will then check your network to ensure you get a seamless experience.

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.

So that’s basically it. You can now play any of the over 400 supported games on GeForce Now (althoughGTA 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, youmight 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.

Anyway, which games are you itching to play on your devices with GeForce Now? Let us know in the comments. Personally, I was stoked to see Apex Legends running on a MacBook Pro with such ease. After all, the list ofgood Mac gamesis fairly limited, so I’m definitely going to try this out more.
