If you already thought that Google was going to kill Stadia, then you won’t be surprised to hear that GeForce Now is the bullet they’ll use.

  • Google Stadia has been struggling since it was released late last year.
  • Nvidias GeForce Now service is game streaming with a great business model.
  • GeForce Now might just finally kill off the dying Stadia.

Its been said a lot lately that game streaming is the future of video games. So many companies are planting their flags in a console and PC-free future. Xbox has xCloud, Google has Stadia. Now Nvidia has gotten in on the action.
GeForce Now is Nvidias answer to live game streaming, and its an amazing product. So amazing in fact that it might even spell disaster for Google Stadia. Since Alphabets streaming service launched, its been met with nothing but criticism.
Now that theres a decent, free option out there, things are only going to get worse for Stadia.

Geforce Now Blows Google Stadia Out of the Water
If you havent had a chance to try out GeForce Now, I encourage you to do it. All you need is some sort of device and controller. Its completely free to sign up and use the service, with a paid option for longer gaming sessions.
You have to already own the games yourself of course, but there are at least a few free-to-play options offered as well. When you compare this to the cost of getting involved with Google Stadia, the difference is astounding.
Right now it costs just under $130 dollars to get Stadia. That doesnt count any of the games youll need to buy from Googles own service. For GeForce Now, you pay nothing and can play games you already own on Steam. Amazing.
Stadia Isnt Ahead of Its Time, Its Just Rubbish
There has been a decent amount of argument from Stadias defenders. Its just ahead of its time, theyll say. Stadia will be better soon. Just you wait for the free mode and try it yourself.
How hollow that defense now sounds. Were now going to be waiting months for Stadias free option. With GeForce Now just sitting there available to anyone, what is the point in going with Googles option?
GeForce Now works, is free to everyone and supports games you already own. If you ask me, its a pretty easy choice.
