For those that would want to try out NVIDIA's very own cloud gaming service even without having to install the app, there is now another way to access this through the computer's browser! Basically, gamers will be able to play games on Google Chrome Server, but more importantly, they will be able to play games in 1080p!
Does GeForce Now actually work?
XDA points out that the official release notes for the new version 2.0.27 of GeForce Now actually reveal a beta support for the said Chrome browser on both macOS and Windows. Despite saying it is only for specific browsers, some people have reportedly been able to play this out on some older versions.
When it comes to other platforms, the story by Engadget notes that the GeForce NOW "may work" on platforms like Linux and some others. However, they are still unsupported as of the moment. There is still no official announcement as to whether or not they will be supported some time later on in the future.
GeForce Now version 2.0.27
The reports that the GeForce Now is capable of running on other platforms is currently circulating around Reddit which focuses on the version 2.0.27 bringing native chrome support. There were also certain comments on this thread that showed people how to do what they were doing which was running it on older versions of other platforms.
For those general customers that have access to the properly enabled platform, being able to simply browse the website is already enough to get everything going. NVIDIA has also reportedly added a certain way for them to share the GeForce Now by easily sending a certain link to the players' friends.

GeForce Now details
There will also be a brand new +Shortcut button in order to allow players to put games directly on their own desktop. There is even some support ready for Apple's brand new M1 powered Macs, according to the details on their website.
GeForce Now has already launched for fully almost a year ago and ever since then has been able to add game streaming support for the iOS through the use of the Safari browser, and already has supported access through using Chrome OS. NVIDIA's new approach is quite different in comparison to the other services.
NVIDIA now differs from other services reportedly as users buy their games through the supported stores and still retain access to them even outside of streaming. It was noted that the Purchasing Founders membership subscription should give players access towards much higher quality graphics along with the RTX, priority access and even longer six hour play sessions. Since NVIDIA has been going really hard on the GPU front while struggling to keep up with demand (which is a good problem for them), it's not really a surprise that the company is now going for streaming as well with its GeForce Now.
