GeForce NOW subreddit mods banned this post because they interpreted it as a request for this game to be on their platform rather than what it is—- a sobering reminder that game streaming comes with many benefits but a perhaps overlooked danger is that platforms can restrict content

In this case it’s not in GeForce why the title is unavailable, however, if you don’t run your hardware you’re at the mercy of these streaming firms and their policies

GeForce NOW is absurdly great. NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service streams real games at high fidelity with no local hardware required. I use it constantly.

But it doesn’t exist on Apple TV. And I can’t figure out why.

NVIDIA makes a NATIVE GeForce NOW MacBook app, Apple Vision Pro (via browser which AppleTV doesn’t support), native Android app, native app like every smartTV, etc

It’s already on iPhone via the “add to home screen trick” You can pair Bluetooth controllers to Apple TV. The hardware is right there. Yet somehow the tvOS app doesn’t exist, so my current workaround is AirPlaying from my MacBook or my phone to the TV.

Which mostly works — except when you AirPlay from an iPhone, Apple TV mirrors the notch. On a 65-inch screen. The little camera cutout, huge, floating in the middle of a gaming session.

I genuinely don’t know who to be annoyed at. Apple has historically made life difficult for game streaming apps in the App Store, so maybe NVIDIA hit a wall there. But nobody’s been clear about it — the forums have been asking for years with zero real answer.

So: is this an NVIDIA problem or an Apple problem? Either way, someone should fix it.
