Terrible News, Cloud Gaming is Good Now

Believe it or not, cloud gaming has finally matured—Nvidia’s GeForce NOW can stream big‐budget titles at solid framerates and crisp visuals with surprisingly low fuss. Gone are the days of pixelated lag; games like Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4 and Apex Legends actually feel playable straight from the cloud.

Linus and the crew ran head‐to‐head tests (cloud vs. local) showing that while streaming holds up impressively, die-hard fans will still weigh input lag, recurring fees and their trusty gaming rigs before jumping ship. In short: cloud gaming’s won “best supporting actor,” but the hardware hero still gets top billing.
