"Google says this new "Fast Pass" tier has no ads and lets Chromebook users skip the queues that free members have to wait in. Of course, there are some restrictions: this plan only provides 10 hours of gameplay a a month. Since GeForce Now already has a free tier, I presume that after the 10 hours is up you'll just get dropped down to that experience, which removes priority queue access, has ads and limits you to one-hour sessions."
"A few years ago, some of Google's hardware partners released Chromebook models built with cloud-based gaming in mind, and Google also was working on bringing Steam to Chrome OS. Even though Steam worked pretty well, Google has reportedly decided to nix the project going forward. And I haven't heard much about the Chromebooks for gaming initiative recently either - but that matters less if any Chromebook with decent specs can take advantage of services like GeForce Now."
New Chromebook buyers receive 12 months of GeForce Now access, enabling cloud-streamed play of games owned on platforms like Steam and Xbox. The included "Fast Pass" tier provides ad-free streaming and priority queue skipping while limiting users to 10 hours of gameplay per month and capping output at 1080p and 60 fps. After the monthly allotment is used, users fall back to the free GeForce Now experience, which includes ads, one-hour session limits, and no queue priority. Cloud streaming allows many Chromebooks with reasonable specs to run high-profile games without native ports or dedicated gaming hardware.
