Until recently, playing demanding titles without a powerful computer seemed unfeasible. Today, the reality is very different. The growth of cloud gaming services in Brazil shows that this technology has moved beyond being a mere promise and has become part of the daily life of many gamers. Data from the Game Brazil Survey indicate that approximately one-third of the country’s gamers have already tried some form of cloud gaming, whether on a mobile phone, PC, or even TV.

The logic behind these services is quite appealing: no downloads, long installations, or constant hardware upgrades. Instead, everything runs on remote servers, while the player simply receives the image and sends commands over the internet. In this scenario, GeForce Now stands out as one of the most robust options available in Brazil, operated locally by Abya, with plans ranging from free to the most complete, Ultimate.

For a month, I used the Ultimate plan — the premium version of the service — through a trial access. The subscription price is not low, but the experience makes it clear that this is a service aimed at those seeking maximum performance and high visual quality. Even so, before subscribing, it is essential to understand what is actually being offered and who this proposal makes the most sense for.

In practice, GeForce Now transforms any compatible device into a sort of virtual gaming PC. All processing takes place in Nvidia’s data centers, while the user plays via real-time streaming. This allows heavy games to run at high graphical settings, even on modest devices, as long as the connection is stable and of good quality.
