Chromebook Users Receive Three Months of Free Access to Google’s GeForce Now Cloud Gaming
Today, Google made an announcement stating that all individuals who own Chromebooks are eligible to receive a complimentary three-month subscription to GeForce Now. The majority of Chromebook users will be granted a GeForce Now Priority subscription, which typically costs $10 per month. However, those who own Cloud Gaming Chromebooks will gain access to the Ultimate tier, valued at $20 per month. This promotion is being offered in conjunction with the launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Nvidia’s cloud gaming service.
Regular Chromebook owners can claim three months of GeForce Now Priority, which uses a cloud-based “premium device” that maximizes 1080p / 60 FPS streaming and six-hour gaming sessions. Meanwhile, people who bought a Cloud Gaming Chromebook can claim three months of GeForce Now Ultimate, which boosts performance to an RTX 4080, 4K resolution, 120 FPS, and eight-hour sessions.
Launched publicly in 2020 after nearly five years in beta, GeForce Now offers instant access to a PC with far more power than a Chromebook—without the worry of updates, patches, or graphics tweaks. But of course, you need at least a reasonably fast and low-latency internet connection to stream games from Nvidia’s servers.
Creating and accessing your library on Nvidia’s service can be a little clunky compared to competitors like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the now-defunct Stadia: You’ll need to link your Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, or Ubisoft Connect account (among others) to see which of your purchased titles are eligible. You can then stream the games you already own and find out which skins are supported for the ones you still want to add. Nvidia’s GeForce Now library webpage is a good place to start: it simplifies the process by letting you search the service’s list of over 1,500 supported titles.
Google hasn’t said how long the promotion will be available, other than that it’s only for a limited time. Chromebook owners can claim the offer on this “special benefits” page.
