TL;DR
Linus dives into Nvidia’s GeForce NOW and admits cloud gaming in 2025 is actually pretty solid. He runs Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4 and Apex Legends in the cloud versus on his beefy local rig (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080, OLED 4K/240 Hz) to see if the latency and compression woes of yesteryear are finally behind us.
Spoiler: it’s surprisingly playable, with only minor stutters or input lag in fast-paced shooters—enough that you might reconsider hoarding the latest GPU, but not so flawless that hardcore gamers will ditch local hardware entirely. Cloud gaming is good now… but it still comes with caveats (subscriptions, network reliability), so don’t toss your PC just yet.
