TL;DR
Cloud gaming in 2025 is shockingly good—Nvidia’s GeForce NOW handles big titles like Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4, and Apex Legends surprisingly well, with only minor lag compared to a local rig. Linus walks through side-by-side tests and shows that, while a beefy PC still wins on raw performance and input latency, cloud streaming is now a legitimately playable option if you don’t own high-end hardware.
At this point, it’s all about weighing convenience vs. ultimate responsiveness. If you value zero-hassle gaming on anything from a MacBook to a Chromebook, GeForce NOW has come a long way. But if you’re chasing the absolute best frame rates and rock-solid input, local machines still reign supreme.
