On Gamersyde, we've always tried to show you as many systems as possible, including cloud gaming solutions. Stadia was given some coverage back when it was still alive, but NVIDIA's GeForce Now too about a year ago. With the release of Alan Wake 2, we thought it would be worth checking out how the game fares on the service, as not everyone can afford a high end PC these days. True, the subscription is costly, even more so as you still have to purchase the games in order to play, but it's still much less expensive than getting a brand new config with one of the most powerful NVIDIA GPU. We have recorded some footage of Remedy's new title with all graphics settings maxed out, even path tracing. Clearly it's a night and day situation compared to what we played locally on our RTX2080 Ti, though streamed 4K is not as sharp as the real thing. NVIDIA's service is pretty impressive technically and even a very dark game like Alan Wake 2 looks great. Obviously, it's possible to notice some artefacts in the darkest areas when playing on an OLED display in the dark, but honestly for those who can afford the subscription and not a powerful rig, this is the perfect way to play the game.
Note: Our subscription to GeForce Now Ultimate was offered by NVIDIA but I paid for my own copy of Alan Wake 2.
