Google Stadia vs. GeForce Now

                            Stadia vs. GeForce Now


Google's new Stadia streaming service doesn't stream movies or TV shows, but video games that run on Google's own servers and are accessible on phones, tablets, Google Chrome, and Chromecast Ultra. Just plugin or pair a controller with your device of choice to play assorted console and PC-quality games.


Stadia isn't the only service of its kind, though. The game streaming field began nearly a decade ago with OnLive, and while that no longer exists, there are a few services that let you play your favourite games remotely.


Nvidia's GeForce Now uses Nvidia's servers to run PC games, which are then sent to any compatible Windows PC, Mac, or Nvidia Shield device. It supports hundreds of games and can be integrated with parts of your Steam library.


Input Lag


This is the most important part of game streaming. However your games look, you can't play them if they respond to your inputs seconds after you enter them. Game-streaming services need to be able to accept your controller (or mouse and keyboard) inputs, process them through the game running on their servers, and then send the results back to your screen in only a few milliseconds, or they'll feel muddy at best and unplayable at worst.
Both streaming services have demonstrated excellent input lag, for the most part, and largely feel as responsive as if you were playing on local hardware—with one unfortunate exception.


Supported Platforms


Good news for cheap PC owners! You can use all three gaming services. Just plug a compatible controller into your PC and start playing through the associated app or Chrome tab. If you're a Mac user, you can use any of them as well.


Price


Google Stadia is at $9.99 per month. In Stadia's case, that's the Stadia Pro membership, which supports game streaming up to 4K and promises access to discounts and free games starting with Destiny 2: The Collection.


Nvidia GeForce Now is a bit more complicated. It's currently available as a closed "free beta" to which you can request an invitation, but it's been available for $6.99 in previous beta phases.
Then there's the question of games. Except for Destiny 2, Stadia requires you to buy every game you want to play, apparently at retail price. GeForce Now includes some free games and has the added advantage of letting you link your Steam account to play games you already own through the service.


The game purchasing issue is a potential problem for Google Stadia. If you spend $20 to $60 on a game, it is reasonable to assume that you then own that game, and will be able to play it as long as you have a device you can play it on. Since Stadia is a completely streaming-based system, there is no way to download, back up, or preserve a game you buy through it. This means if Stadia is ever discontinued, your purchases will evaporate.
This is much less of a problem with GeForce Now, which works with Steam (where you can download games).


Which is the Best?


That's a tough question, probably because streaming games as a concept is still relatively new and a bit unpolished. You need to be in the unique position of being enthusiastic about video games and possessing a fast internet connection, but not already having a solid gaming PC or console on which you would already be playing these games locally.


Google Stadia would be the most powerful service, considering its very wide platform support and excellent performance, but too many limitations hold it back. Its library is microscopic, it requires a wired controller to work well, and the only way to play it on a TV (without running an HDMI cable from your phone or PC) doesn't work very well.


With that in mind, GeForce Now is the most appealing game streaming service, if the hardest to get into because of the strange beta structure, since you can just add Steam games you already own to the service and play them without incurring an additional cost.
