NVIDIA is continuously upgrading its game streaming service GeForce Now. As of today, the service is also available on Apple’s iPhone and iPad – but only as a beta for the time being. However, the service is not accessed via an app, but directly via the Safari browser. NVIDIA is thus avoiding Apple’s strict regulations – similar to what Microsoft is doing with Project xCloud or its Xbox GamePass offer.

If you want to try out the GeForce Now beta on iOS, you first have to go to play.geforcenow.com using your mobile Safari browser and click the quick start link using the share button on the home screen, from where you will later get access to the GeForce Now service. A membership or a paid subscription is required to use it. In the free version, access to the streaming service is limited to one hour per access, with no time limit, 5, 49 euros can be spent, which can also be used to activate other features, such as the in-house DXR effects. Who binds himself for six months and 27, 45 euros paid, saves an entire month in addition.

Since a keyboard and mouse cannot be used on the iPhone and iPad, GeForce Now can only play games with gamepad support that are connected to the iOS device via Bluetooth. At least Fortnite also offers touch controls.

As part of the beta launch of GeForce Now for iOS, NVIDIA also announced that it will soon be making the service available via Chrome-based web clients, which means other browsers such as Google’s Chrome or Brave can also be used. The implementation for this should take place in the course of the first quarter 2021. The beta phase for Android devices has been running for several months.

In the meantime, the games catalog has gotten off to a good start. NVIDIA adds new compatible titles every Thursday and sometimes even does this directly with the release of a new game, as they recently did with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. More than 750 games can already be streamed – many of them from the offers of Valves Steam, Ubi Connect, Epic Games Store or GOG.com, the should also be included in the next few months.
