When a game on Steam opts into GeForce NOW (GFN), it’s an encouraging sign, but it doesn’t guarantee that the game will be playable on the platform. Opting in is just one part of the process, so here’s what it means and how you can help.
What Does “Opting In” Mean?
Steam allows developers to opt into GeForce NOW, which is a way of granting NVIDIA permission to evaluate the game for inclusion on the platform. This step shows the developer or publisher is open to having their game on GFN.
However, it doesn’t mean the game will automatically appear on GFN. There’s more work required before it can be officially added.
What Happens Next?
After a game opts in, NVIDIA evaluates it for compatibility, stability, and performance on GFN. From there, the publisher and NVIDIA collaborate to finalize the game’s integration. If all goes well, the game can then be added to GFN’s library.
How You Can Help
As a player, there are a few constructive ways to support the addition of your favorite games to GeForce NOW:
• Send Feedback in the App: Use the exclamation icon in the GeForce NOW app to let NVIDIA know which games you’d like to see added.
• Understand the Platform’s Approach: GFN uses existing PC game builds without requiring any porting, making it easy for publishers to join. GeForce NOW is open to all publishers and doesn’t charge fees for inclusion.
