To the average user, PC gaming is pretty intimidating. It either costs quite a bit of money or you have to get down on your hands and knees and build your own out of parts you may or may not fully understand. It's a little daunting, but Nvidia has a solution to all of this for the average consumer.
Coming this March, Nvidia will release GeForce Now on PC and Mac which will allow users to play any PC game in their Steam, Origin, or Uplay library. You've got a game you can't run on Mac because it's only executable on PC? Nvidia GeForce can take care of that and run it incredibly well.
The way this was shown off was by demoing Rise of the Tomb Raider on Mac, a game unavailable on that platform. It worked flawlessly and looked really incredible. This is all done through the cloud and latency is low enough for it to work very well.
This means anyone can experience a game like Mass Effect: Andromeda (which had new gameplay featured at the conference) on PC, no matter their rig or specs!
CEO Jen-Hsun Huang debuted the feature at CES 2017 and labeled it as "a GeForce gaming PC on demand." The service will be similar to a subscription service, $25 for 20 hours of game time. Will it be worth it? We'll have to find out when the client releases in March 2017.
