In the way that those are apps that gamers install on their gaming pc.
- oivey 6y agoCan you elaborate? You don’t need to install Steam or the game to play that game on GeForce Now.
- p1necone 6y agoYou're not making any sense to me. Steam is just an app store. A "gaming PC" is just a regular PC with more powerful hardware in it, using software on it does not take any special skills specific to gaming PCs. And as the other commenter points out, playing steam games via geforce now doesn't even require installing the steam app anyway, it's just an account link.
- blueblisters 6y agoI am struggling to find an analogy but here goes. I think it's like the difference between a console in the cloud v/s a gaming pc in the cloud. For casual gamers, a console in the cloud with minimal configuration - switch it on and start playing - makes the most sense. If GeForce Now is a hosted gaming PC, I assume running a Windows O/S, it likely has the same configuration overhead of PC games, which most casual gamers don't want to deal with.
