As such, your gaming opportunities are likely at the mercy of a distinctly average hardware built into your laptop. However, there is a way to still enjoy the latest releases and your go-to games as a student, all thanks to NVIDIA\u2019s cloud gaming service, <u>GeForce NOW<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GeForce NOW is a platform that allows you to stream games from the cloud straight to the device of your choice, including laptops, mobiles, tablets and more, without the need to purchase any additional hardware.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GeForce NOW enables you to play games you already own by accessing them from across your gaming libraries in the cloud.
