Engadget Logo Enter Japan version of Cloud Gaming GeForce Now, you can play on Chromebook

The US NVIDIA announced on the 18th (local time) that it can be played on Chromebook on the cloud gaming service "GeForce Now", which is also provided in Japan.

At the time of writing, the notation of the SoftBank and KDDI versions of Japan does not include Chromebook as a corresponding terminal, but it has been offered at least as a beta version for the United States.

Unlike other platforms, there is no need for a dedicated app on Chromebook.Play with a Chrome browser.GeForce.You can play by accessing NOW and logs in with a new or existing GeForce Now account.The use of a USB mouse is recommended for the best game experience.

GeForce Now is a so -called streaming game service.Moving the game on an external cloud server and streaming as a video at the player's hand.The performance required for the device on the play side can play videos, so the ease of enjoying a richer device that is less powerful than gaming PCs such as smartphones and tablets is attracting attention.

The basic mechanism is the same as other companies' XCLOUD and Google STADIA, but the difference is that in cooperation with other service digital stores, you can bring in purchased PC games with save data.You can play the game you bought at the Steam, Epic Games store, and Ubisoft Store.

System requirements are Intel Core M3 (7th generation or later), Core I3/I5/I7, GPU for Intel HD Graphics 600 or more, and 4GB or more for memory.It also supports game controllers such as Xbox 360/One controller and DualShock 4.

Chromebook is a notebook -type device with a keyboard that is popular for its cheapness that is easy to get and the lightweight that is easy to carry anywhere.It's good to buy hundreds of games on Steam sale, but you can't buy an expensive gaming PC or have no place to put, and for those who don't have the courage to bring a PC that cools the cooling fans in a coffee shop, GeForce Now is the best gospel.It should be.

Speaking of Chromebook's game machine, Steam official support was rumored earlier this year.However, it is not a cloud gaming, but a device that drives the game on its own, so it should be necessary to install a high -performance CPU, GPU and memory.In addition, Chromebook has already been supported by Google Stadia, so it seems that game play will not be inconvenient even if Steam is not fulfilled.
