"It breaks open the doors of support. Instead of games that are installed and ready to go, you can install them on a GeForce Now instance (the computer you're connected to for game streaming). Even massive, 100+ GB games install in a few minutes. It turns out Nvidia has pretty fast internet at GeForce Now data centers. I2P only works with Steam games right now, but Nvidia has built it uniquely."
"With a Performance or Ultimate membership, you get 100 GB of single-session storage. You can install a game and play it, but when you close the session, your game goes away (games with cloud saves still sync). You can buy extra persistent storage, and here's what they cost: 200 GB for $3 per month, 500 GB for $5 per month, and 1 TB for $8 per month."
"This extra storage doesn't just give you more space. It's persistent, so your installed games will continue between sessions. Nvidia even keeps your saves safe in persistent storage if the title you're playing doesn't support Steam Cloud saves. It's like having your own little (but extremely powerful) gaming PC in the cloud. Nvidia has, slowly but surely, cemented GeForce Now as the de facto cloud gaming service."
GeForce Now enables installing games directly on cloud instances, with massive 100+ GB titles downloading in minutes thanks to fast data-center internet. I2P currently works only with Steam games and Performance or Ultimate members receive 100 GB of single-session storage; installed games disappear when sessions close unless cloud saves exist. Optional persistent storage is available at 200 GB ($3/mo), 500 GB ($5/mo), and 1 TB ($8/mo), preserving installed titles and saves even for games without Steam Cloud. GeForce Now supports Steam, Microsoft PC Game Pass, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, the EA app, and offers a native Steam Deck app. Cloud streaming can still suffer packet loss and stutters on Wi‑Fi.
