Holy cow, I've never tried any of these types of services before but I'm blown away! I just signed up for the free version to give Fortnite a go. I've played it a tonne on mobile, but never PC because my 2012 Macbook Pro could only pump out about 5 FPS at the lowest graphics settings.
5 minutes of setup and I'm playing on amazing-looking (to me) settings and it seemed damn fast FPS (to me): looks so good and played great! The input lag was not noticeable (again, to me - not a gamer... I died in Pleasant Park trying to figure out how to build a cone).
I think I might be their core audience for this, and am extremely tempted to sign up for $5 a month. My GPU sucks, hard drive is always "nearly full" so keeping games around isn't an option. For a casual like me this seems... futuristic!
- skay- 7y agoI am in a similar boat as you -- it feels great to game on my Mac. I do notice some of the latency when I play Doom (granted this is a high "fidelity" game) but for casual gaming this is great.
- JohnTHaller 7y agoSemi-Related: You've upgraded to at least 8GB and an SSD right?
- ksec 7y agoYes, there are at least 100M Mac (worldwide) users who could play games now. Would have signed up even for $10. Considering the quality of those titles. Compare to other $5 Gaming Subscription like Apple Arcade, Nvidia 's offering is much more attractive.
- danielbln 7y agoyou desribe almost my exact usecase and limitations. 2015 MBP, never free disk space. Being able to play these games and not having to think about hardware and installation is great. I've signed up for the $5 tier.
