While many of us in North America have been enjoying the cloud streaming goodness that is Nvidia’s GeForce Now, our friends down under and abroad have been missing out. However, according to Nvidia, that’s going to change as the company announced that GeForce Now is expanding yet again.
In addition to Australia, the cloud streaming service will also be accessible in both Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This is possible due to Nvidia signing up several data centers and providers (Turkcell, Zain KSA, and Pentanet), who’ll host multiple RTX servers, which will power the service. These beasts are packed with all sorts of Nvidia GPUs, including NVIDIA A40 and RTX A6000, and Quadro RTX 6000, and RTX 8000 GPUs. Nvidia has been rolling out the Ampere powered servers to replace the previous Turing powered servers.
Now, while we finally have confirmation that GeForce Now is expanding into different regions, there’s still one bit of information missing. An actual date as to when this will happen. I didn’t see any mention of when we’ll see the service expanding to any of the announced regions. But I suppose having official confirmation is better than nothing?
GeForce Now is Nvidia’s very own cloud gaming service that allows anyone with a PC or Android device to stream a number of PC games to their device. Currently, the service has two subscription tiers; a free play that’s limited to 1-hour play sessions and a founders subscription that provides “front of the line” access, and the ability to use Ray Tracing. After playing with the service on and all, I admit that it’s easily one of the better services out there. Perhaps only second to Microsoft’s Project xCloud, and that’s a very close second.
