Explained simply
GeForce NOW is NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service: games run on powerful computers in data centres and are streamed to a player’s device over the internet. This can let people play games with advanced graphics on compatible devices that may not have the same processing power themselves.
DLSS 5 is a graphics feature from NVIDIA that uses artificial intelligence to alter how lighting and materials appear in games. NBA 2K27 is the first game reported to include it; playing locally requires a graphics card from NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series.
NVIDIA makes the service, while game publishers and shops such as Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox provide access to games. Cloud gaming may broaden access to newer graphics features, though it depends on a suitable internet connection and the games being available through the service.
