can stream games that i own?

or have to download juga?

GFN is one of the few game streaming services (together with Shadow) that allows users to run games they already own with any supported game storefront (Epic Games, Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Origin), eliminating the need to purchase the game again.

The game is installed on the GFN server's virtual machine via the game store's launcher, not on your device. Your device just requires a GFN client to stream data (video, audio, and I/O interactions) from the virtual machine, similar to a virtual remote PC.

As a result, GFN can support a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, Android, Android TV, NVIDIA Shield TV, web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari), smart TVs such as 2021+ LG smart TVs, and Samsung Gaming Hub on 2022 Samsung smart TVs. The heavy lifting is done on the GFN servers, which are powered by powerful NVIDIA "GPUs."

let me rephrase my initial question

do we need to download the games we own in the virtual machine? or it can be streamed from virtual machines?

probably stupid question

It will be installed one time by the game store's launcher on the virtual machine (on the GFN server so not on your device) for the user's game session; in comparison to our desktop PC, the installation is extremely fast—imagine installing a 100 GB game in a matter of seconds.

Perhaps the GFN trick is to simply create a virtual HD (VHD) copy with the pre-installed game image configured for the GFN server. The user simply needs to configure the game account and the game store link when the game launches for the first time by the game store launcher.

It will sync back with the game if it is running from the game server (it is outside of GFN's control; it is under the game store's control) using the same game account as long as you link the account with the game store account and the latter links with the GFN account.

The subsequent session will be very fast (due to very fast cloud storage on the GFN server), it just launches the game.

If the game is later delisted from the GFN by the game store, the user can still play it because the VHD copy of the game retains it for the user's game session on the GFN server (if GFN decides to make its users happy). This is the case with the God of War game on GFN early this month. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/det...0god%20of%20war

Wow didn't know EA play has time limit. I will test out and see how the 10hrs limit is controlled. Also, I have tried all EA games available on GFN, all are playable on the platform by just login to Origin account. Super cool 😎

For GFN, what I know is the time limit is per session. So, if you are on priority plan, the session limit is 6hours. If you ever exceed (rarely for me, barely can play more than 2 hrs), you just need to end the games and restart again.

They say can play games using office laptop.
Aiyo only $7 (as SH customer). so cip so cip. I should try

Starhub Singapore appears to be excellent on my network just now... Perhaps there is a network problem on your end.

nope, connection from sabah/sarawak usually to have higher ping compare to connection from semenanjung to sinagpore, even playing apex legends without geforce now will get 40-50ms ping

Your pings are what subscribers from India experience when connecting to Starhub Singapore...

really? didnt know that

Depending on where you are in India, some subscribers may receive those pings, while others may receive twice as many.

Hopefully demand for GPU will go down with this.

Not just GPU, an average gaming user will no longer need high power CPU, PSU, RAM, Storage as well with GFN.
cloud streaming will be a game changer

New update for desktop-based GFN clients.
