GeForce Now, Nvidia's own solution to game streaming, is launching on Chromebooks today. Unlike the service on Windows and Mac, however, Chromebook players will be able to access the service though a web browser, which might indicate where Nvidia hopes to go next.
Not only does Chromebook support open up GeForce Now to more players who potentially don't have the hardware to run games Nvidia says 80% of Now users don't meet minimum specifications for games with the hardware they play on. Chromebook players will be the first to access the service via a web browser, which could signal how Nvidia plans to move this service to other devices and operating systems in the future.
Chromebook users will be able to sign up and subscribe to GeForce Now through this link, which will then give them access to stream any games they own. Unlike Google Stadia, GeForce Now only streams games you own on other platforms, such as Steam and the Epic Games Store.
It offers two tiers of subscriptions, depending on what hardware will power your games and how long you can play before needing to queue for space again. Both the free and $5 a month tiers max out at 1080p / 60 FPS but paying players will get access to ray tracing-capable hardware and priority when logging on. GeForce Now is available on Mac, Windows, Android, and now ChromeOS.
 
why Chromebooks first thought? More people users windows and others more then Chromebooks LOL
 
This is good news for Chromebook users who want to use Geforce Now.

Hopefully, Geforce Now will come to all modern web browsers as well.
 
I use GeForce Now on Windows so hopefully, this is something that comes to Windows soon as well. It's pretty cool that it can be launched through your web browser.
 
Only chromebooks? Why bother at all? :p

I think Geforce Now pick Chromebooks as the first web browerser because most Chromebooks have a newer Intel Celeron or better CPU made in 2011 to 2020, 2 to 4 GB or more RAM, 802.11N Wi-Fi and an onboard Intel video chip which is good enough for Geforce Now's video requirements.

But, Geforce Now may not work on some very old and cheap slower Windows 7 to 10 PC which may be using an older Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron single-core CPU from 2000, Atom mobile CPU, and VIA CPU, 1 GB of RAM, and basic onboard video chip which is too slow for Geforce Now and playing HD videos. Some very slow Windows 10 PC may not run modern web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge without slowdown problems because of a slow CPU, and low amount if RAM like 1GB, and slower 10 Megabit per second Ethernet or 802.11b wi-fi with a max speed if 11 Megabit per second.
