Terrible News, Cloud Gaming is Good Now
In 2025, cloud gaming has finally arrived—Nvidia’s GeForce NOW streamed AAA titles like Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4, and Apex Legends with shockingly low latency and near-local performance. Linus and the team compared it side-by-side with a beefy Ryzen 7 9800X3D/RTX 5080 rig on a 4K/240Hz OLED and even a 1080p/480Hz mode to see just how close the cloud can get to native play.
But before you ditch your hardware, remember the trade-offs: you don’t really own the gear, subscription fees stack up, and you’re at the mercy of your internet connection. Cloud gaming’s impressive, but it isn’t a perfect, one-size-fits-all replacement—at least not yet.
