  • What happens if I downgrade, change or cancel my Founders account? Will I lose the “Founders for Life” benefit?

    To keep the “Founders for Life” benefit, you must maintain an ongoing paid Founders membership without interruption. This requirement includes, for example, that you keep your payment information current and make timely payments, and that you use the service in accordance with the terms of use.

    If for any reason your paid Founders membership ends, you make a membership plan modification, downgrade, or if there is a termination, the benefit is forfeited and cannot be restarted. This benefit is only available to NVIDIA GeForce NOW users who are billed by NVIDIA’s designated merchant of record in the US, Canada, UK, and members of the European Union. This benefit is not transferable, and cannot be replaced for cash or credit.

  • What happens if I upgrade from Founders to GeForce NOW Ultimate and then later downgrade? What happens to my “Founders for life” benefit?

    Your membership will revert back to Founders as long as you keep your account active with a valid payment method on file.

  • What if something goes wrong with my payment information and I’m accidentally downgraded?

    We have put in place a variety of email communications to help alert Founders to a billing failure in advance of their account being downgraded.  The purpose of providing this benefit is to keep our Founders on the service, so we will do everything on our end to support them with keeping their account in good standing.

  • My Founders membership is pending downgrade, but I’ve changed my mind and want the Founders for life benefit. What should I do?

    When a member downgrades their membership, they may still have an active period before their account is transitioned to Free status, depending on their billing date. You’ll see if you’re in this downgrade window by viewing your information in the GeForce NOW account portal. If you are still within your billing cycle, you can reinstate your Founders membership and retain the Founders For Life benefit.

  • Is the Founders for life benefit available for members accessing GeForce NOW through a partner?

    Free Founders memberships and Founders memberships billed by a GeForce NOW partner do not qualify for this benefit.

  • What is the VIP Founders Member badge I now see in my account?

    To say thank you to the first to join and support GeForce NOW, Founders members will receive a special VIP Founders member badge in their account and in-app. GeForce NOW would not be what it is without our Founders members, and this is one way we’re saying, “thank you.” If you decide to downgrade, change your account or there is a termination, the VIP Founders badge will be removed from your account and in-app.

デイ パス

PC/MAC

NVIDIA Shield

  • How do I launch and play a game?

    On the first click of a game tile, you will be taken to the digital store’s game page. Your ownership is verified when you log in, and then the game is launched. For games that require you to log in to your account to begin play, you will need to hold the START button on the gamepad to bring up the virtual mouse and keyboard. If you do not own the game, you can purchase it from the digital store. 

    To launch a game, click on its icon in the NVIDIA Games app. Look for the game with a GEFORCE NOW label. It will look and feel like you are launching the game on your device, when, in fact, GeForce NOW is launching it remotely and streaming it back to your SHIELD.

    See our How to Play page for more information.

  • Can I use a gamepad with GeForce NOW?

    Yes, you can use the SHIELD controller to play games on GeForce NOW. Please check our system requirements for a complete list of supported peripherals.

  • Can I use a keyboard and mouse with GeForce NOW?

    Yes, you can connect a USB or Bluetooth keyboard or mouse to a SHIELD to play games on GeForce NOW.

  • I am using a non US-English keyboard, and when I use it with GeForce NOW I do not see the characters or letters on screen that I press.

    We do see this issue with non-US Keyboards and are trying to find a way to improve it. In the meantime, we recommend using US English keyboards, or the NVIDIA on-screen control (OSC) keyboard, or Steam Big Picture keyboard to type in characters such as @.  However, if you have a Uplay account with non ASCII characters, you cannot use the NVIDIA OSC keyboard or a US English keyboard. You may need to change your password to log in to Uplay on GeForce NOW.

Android

  • どの Android 携帯電話が対応していますか?

    1GB以上のメモリを搭載し、Android 5.0(L)以降のAndroidスマートフォンをサポートしています。携帯電話のモバイル データ プランでゲームをストリーミングすると、データがすぐに消費されてしまう可能性があることに注意してください。最高のエクスペリエンスを実現するには、5GHz WiFi ネットワーク接続をお勧めします。

  • PC もしくは MAC で GEFORCE NOW を使用している場合、Android 携帯電話でもプレイできますか?

    はい、1 つの GeForce NOW アカウントは、Android スマートフォンを含む複数のデバイスで動作します。

  • どうやって始めればいいですか?

    携帯電話で GeForce NOW アカウントにログインしたら、最近プレイしたゲームのライブラリにジャンプし、中断したところからプレイを続けます。 Razer Kiyo V2、Steelseries Stratus Duo、または Backbone One などの Bluetooth ゲームパッドを強くお勧めします。注: 一部のゲームでは、接続されたゲームパッド コントローラーまたはワイヤレス キーボード/マウスが必要な場合があります。これらのゲームパッドなどについては、こちらをご覧ください。

  • GeForce NOW がオーディオへのアクセスを要求しているのはなぜですか?

    これは GeForce NOW アプリが携帯電話のマイクへのアクセスを求めていることを示しています。これより、ゲーム内ボイスチャットが可能になります。この音声は録音されません。
