GeForce NOW just had its biggest update ever at Gamescom — 5080s in the cloud, DLSS 4, 5K 120, Steam Deck at 90fps, LG TVs at 4K 120, and even steering wheel support. But the real story isn’t the hardware — it’s Install-to-Play.

In this video, I dive into what Install-to-Play really is, why it matters, the impact on indies and overlooked games, and how this could be the start of a whole new phase for GFN.

👉 Expect games to be added faster, some to get pulled, and pressure on publishers to opt in like never before.
👉 Mods are confirmed, apps could be next, and I’ve already spotted games lined up for 2026 thanks to this shift.

This is the future of GeForce NOW — and it’s only just starting.
