For nylig fik Google Stadia lidt alvorlig konkurrence fra Nvidia, i det de endelig trak deres GeForce Now-tjeneste ud af beta. Tjenesten skiller sig fra Stadia ved at benytte sig af brugerens Steam-bibliotek, det betyder at man både kan spille sine spil offline hvis det er det man ønsker, eller bruge skyen ved hjælp af sit GeForce Now-abonnement, hvorimod Google Stadia naturligvis ikke tilbyder nogen offline hardware-baseret spiloplevelse overhovedet.
Noget kunne tyde på at det er gået meget godt, i hvert fald kan Nvidia nu afsløre, at siden tjenesten er kommet ud af beta så er der kommet over en million nye brugere til. Dog skal det her siges, at der findes en udgave af GeForce Now der er gratis, så derfor betyder ikke nødvendigvis af der er en million nye kunder i butikken.
Desuden siger Nvidia, at de mener at dem der har trukket deres spil fra tjenesten vil komme tilbage.
"Many in the games industry are riding the wave of excitement GeForce NOW has generated. And we're just getting started.
Earlier this month, we passed a milestone on our cloud gaming journey by removing the waitlist and opening our doors to more gamers. Over 1 million new gamers have taken to the cloud by signing up for a free plan or upgrading to the Founders membership, which includes a 90-day free trial.
This trial is an important transitional period where gamers, developers and publishers can try the premium experience with minimal commitment while we continue to refine our offering.
As we approach a paid service, some publishers may choose to remove games before the trial period ends. Ultimately, they maintain control over their content and decide whether the game you purchase includes streaming on GeForce NOW. Meanwhile, others will bring games back as they continue to realize GeForce NOW's value (stay tuned for more on that)."
