A quick search led us to the latest version of the GeForce NOW app APK download, but you’ll quickly remember that side-loading of apps isn’t possible unless your Chromebook is in developer mode. There’s side-loading after all and we clearly went in this direction. If you do manage to find your way there through some Google search efforts, you see the app is listed as incompatible with your device. That means when trying to install the app the proper way on your Chromebook, you simply won’t find it in a search. The answer is yes, but you shouldn’t do it.įirst up, the biggest hurdle to installing the GeForce NOW app is the fact that it is blocked in the Play Store.
In the meantime, I had to wonder if we could get the Android version up and running on a Chromebook. NVIDIA is saying a proper web-based GeForce Now client is due later this year and that will give Chromebooks proper access to the service.
It is now available for users on Android phones, Shield TV, Mac OS and Windows, but Chromebooks are left out in the cold for the time being. While platforms like Stadia are a bit more polished and much more user-accessible, GeForce NOW is a unique in its ability to let users play some of the games they already own. NVIDIA officially launched their cloud game streaming service yesterday to quite a bit of deserved fanfare.
