Starfield is now on GeForce NOW


Just a really quick post because I am so excited about Starfield: oddly not seen on their 'announcement' areas at NVIDIA's GeForce NOW website (GFN Thursday, etc) - it is indeed listed as playable on GFN in NVIDIA's listing of available games:


I say "odd" because I didn't see it prominently displayed on their blog page where they announced that XBOX Game Pass for PC was being added to GeForce NOW (August 24th):

It isn't listed in the 'list of newly added games', where they have Deathloop and Doom2016 listed - so at the time I didn't think it was available. Since the XBOX Game Pass for PC was added (which is totally awesome) I thought/hoped that maybe Starfield would be seen one day there, but it wasn't at the time.

I'm not sure why, but just a bit ago I wanted to download the latest version of GeForce NOW and see what's new there (I don't think you 'have to', as the app will Update itself, it seems; but I do this once in a while when I haven't played GFN for a bit - just to make sure I have the latest version). After starting GFN up, I noticed Starfield was listed in the PC Game Pass list of games - woohoo!


It is also available to play on GFN if you own it on your Steam account, so go try it now, NOW gogogo lol



Update 1: starting Starfield up on GeForce NOW, it came up with "Syncing"... and that took a while... Then, starting it up again later, going into the Main Menu and Startup areas of the game, it came up with "Building Shaders" - but thankfully, although it started out slowly, it didn't take long at all. Just give it a little time and it'll finish heh. Also, it seemed to have my updated Save Games from the XBox For PC game cloud all ready - which is great [nice job GFN team]. Have fun!
