The service has over 25 Million users, is available in 100 Countries, and supports different operating systems including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, iPadOS and TVs.Ī few months ago, Microsoft and Nvidia signed a 10-year partnership to bring Xbox PC games to Nvidia GeForce Now, although that was widely perceived as a bid to impress regulators who may thwart the company's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The paid plans offer support for higher resolutions and frame rates, better graphics, and an increased time limit (up to 8 hours).
