The cloud gaming services currently available, perhaps one of the most compelling ones is Nvidia’s GeForce right now. With the continuous Covid-19 epidemic and the constant lack of gaming hardware, whether it’s new consoles or PC parts, in-store shelves, to be able to play the latest games, game streaming is becoming increasingly exciting.
In contrast, all you need to play games on streaming services is a decently fast internet connection. And GeForce will now shine in a sea of options both because of its huge list of games and because they take advantage of their GeForce technology to enhance your gaming experience. Now, GeForce is now getting an in-game overlay on Chrome, as well as support for linking to Epic Games account.

The first one is pretty simple. Chrome Overlay allows users to configure many in-stream features, such as freestyle filters, network labels, microphone tugs, and final game sessions. Use Ctrl + G for PC and Chromebook, or CMD + G for macOS, to bring an overlay during a GeForce Now session. This feature is currently only supported on Chrome, but we’ll probably see it move to other browsers soon.
Speaking of other key people, that moment is limited to founding and priority members: pre-loading. Pre-loading allows you to load parts of the game, so you can expect to reduce the game’s loading time by one minute from the moment you tap the play button while you’re in the game. And this feature is made possible by another new feature: Epic Games account linking.
Users can now link your Epic Games account to GeForce right now, although currently, pre-loading and account linking are only available for Fortnight. Once it’s live for everyone, you won’t have to log in to your Epic Games account every time to play Fortnight. Right now, Epic Games integration is limited to access to the Epic Games Store Library, so deep integration with your Epic Games account is huge.
Last but not least, it wouldn’t be a GeForce Thursday without new games, which is why new games are coming to the platform, including:
- R-Type Final 2 (Steam)
- Chinese Parents (Steam)
- Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition (Epic Games Store)
- The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos (Epic Games Store)
- GoNNER (Epic Games Store)
- SOMA (Epic Games Store)
- Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (Epic Games Store)
