Colleague was telling me about this earlier:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce-now/

Has anyone tried it on a steamdeck/at all? He reckoned it would have the new Space Marine game running no problem on a Steamdeck.

Must say I like the idea of running RDR2 through it at home for a shinier experience (and then accepting the more average performance on the commute.)

Also keen to see what it does to Vampire Survivors.

I've used the free version of it and it works fine if you have a decent internet connection , so playing at home while not sitting infront of the PC works , I'd be surprised if anyone has a commute that will keep them in a good enough internet connected area to keep the stream going.

FYI if you like the idea two other providers that I've used that worked better for me than Geforce are :

Xbox cloud gaming : https://www.xbox.com/en-us/

You need to have PC gamepass ultimate for this but with a decent connection you can play new releases on the steamdeck / on your macbook / on your phone as long as you have a decent enough internet connection behind it

Amazon Prime Luna : https://gaming.amazon.com/home

I dont pay anything for this and just play the free titles that come with Amazon Prime , but there is a good selection on there and again they play via a browser so as long as you have a good enough internet connection if works fine.

I've played a fair bit on the Microsoft one and it always seem to work okay until some sort of transient network condition comes along and spoils your fun at the worst moment.

I used to get that quite a bit but not had it in a while.

I do occasionally still get streaming texture issues (especially with fast moving graphics) , however it has got to the stage where you can play COD in multiplayer without any noticable different from installing 300gb to your PC

Overall It works best in single player games where if you do get a hicup you can just pause and resume

I played so much Cricket 22 in streaming that when I finally bothered to install it, the minuscule difference in latency meant that all my muscle memory was useless.
