What’s the current top choice if I want to occasionally with low friction play games, but don’t want to actually be running the game myself (seems like for this you still use your PC). I have symmetric fios 1Gbs, and want to play either on Macbook, or on tv connected to appletv/firetv stick.
Would GeForceNow be the best, or any other better options?
- j1elo 2y agoThere is GeForce Now, Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Amazon Luna. Those are the most prominent services (if not the only ones, but I'm not sure about that)
- rat9988 2y agoYou can add shadow pc too.
- beAbU 2y agoWhy not try them all and settle with what works for you? I've used Game Pass Cloud a couple of times to try out a game before I commit to downloading it to my xbox, but I cant comment on whether its better or worse than the others.
- Gigachad 2y agoI tried the GeForce one last year and it was unplayable, and I have gigabit internet. I’m just not sure streaming will ever be viable, meanwhile running things locally becomes increasingly easy.
- jsheard 2y agoSurely your proximity to the nearest GFN PoP is more important than your connection speed? Gigabit isn't going to help if the bits need to take a >100ms roundtrip.

- ClassyJacket 2y agoXbox Game Pass is awesome, assuming you're happy with that and not PC games specifically. It's pretty seamless and performs well and they support heaps of devices. Plus it has Halo which automatically makes it the best one.
