TL;DR
Linus and the team reveal that cloud gaming in 2025—powered by Nvidia GeForce NOW—has finally leveled up, delivering surprisingly smooth performance across titles like Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4 and Apex Legends. They ran side-by-side tests on high-end hardware versus streaming to show that, while local rigs still edge out in raw responsiveness and absolute image fidelity, the gap is now so slim it might not matter for most gamers.
In short: if you’re worried about upgrading your GPU or hauling around a beastly PC, cloud gaming has matured faster than anyone expected. It’s still not perfect, but it’s good enough that you’ll think twice before buying the latest top-tier graphics card.
