NVIDIA and Rain have signed a partnership to bring GeForce NOW to South Africa.
In Rain’s data centres, the South African GeForce Now service will be hosted locally.
The signing of a collaboration deal with NVIDIA to provide high-performance cloud gaming to South Africa with GeForce NOW has been announced by Rain, South Africa’s 4G and 5G communications network.
GeForce NOW is NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service. The subscription service offers users unlimited access to a collection of games. these are hosted on Nvidia servers and supplied to subscribers via streaming video.
Users don’t need a strong gaming PC to stream games they currently own from digital retailers like Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, and Origin.
Rain said in a statement:
”This partnership will ultimately enable millions of South African users to get the best gaming experience, without the need to invest thousands of rands for the latest graphic cards. They will also gain access to the top gaming titles and a streaming library of over 1400 games. These include A Plague’s Tale: Requiem and Cyberpunk 2077, along with over one hundred free-to-play titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact.”
This will be the first time the subscription service comes to the African Continent.
The CEO of Rain said:
“The ability to stream and enjoy the latest games on most devices, is a massive leap forward for the gaming community.”
According to Rain, the GeForce Now service will debut in 2023’s first quarter after a brief beta period.
