How to link your Steam account to NVIDIA GeForce NOW

The NVIDIA GeForce NOW Cloud Gaming service offers to transfer the compatible games of your Steam library to your GeForce account to access it online.Here's how to do.

With GeForce Now, Nvidia poses as a competitor of Google Stadia or Xcloud in the world of Cloud Gaming.However, it can have a significant advantage thanks to its partnership with Steam Cloud.

By linking your Steam and GeForce account, you can access your library games, provided they are compatible with the Nvidia service.This allows you not to multiply purchases for a single game: Buy it on Steam and you can play locally on your computer and on many devices thanks to the Cloud Gaming.

How to link your Steam account to GeForce NOW

First, download the GeForce Now customer for PC or Mac from the official Nvidia website and log in with your account.When done, open the application settings.

At the top of the parameter list should be the game synchronization option for Steam.Activate it by clicking on the small chain at the bottom right.

Your web browser will open to ask you to connect to your Steam account.Take your identifiers there and confirm.

This is where you will potentially encounter your first synchronization problem.If your Steam profile is private, Nvidia will not be able to access the game list.Thus, if you receive an error message of this type, follow the proposed link and modify the visibility settings of my profile and visibility on my games by opting for everyone.

Thus, GeForce Now will have access to your game list, return to the application and relaunch synchronization.If everything goes as planned, you should see your compatible game list appear in your GeForce library.

Your compatible steam games are automatically transferred to your GeForce account and you can play on many devices, when you want, as long as you have a good internet connection.

Obviously, like any cloud gaming service, an efficient internet connection is required, for GeForce Now, the minimum recommended flow is 15 Mbit/s for a 720p60 display and 25 Mb/s for 1080p60.
