GeForce Now was late in being available for Macs with Intel processors, but it seems that its arrival to the new computers with M1 chip has been different. Along with support for the Chrome browser, Mac M1 can now access Nvidia's streaming game service.
GeForce Now for Chrome and Mac with M1 chip
One of the great challenges of GeForce Now, along with preserving the widest possible catalog of games, has always been the power be present in the largest number of devices possible. For this reason, the company has worked continuously on its clients and other solutions that allow them to enjoy their games via streaming from anywhere.
Windows computers were obviously the first to enjoy the service, but a little later the native client for Mac arrived. This was in beta for a long time, practically the same until the service was finally launched for all users. At which point the challenge became being on iOS and iPadOS devices.
Being able to use GeForce Now on the iPhone and iPad was also difficult, because Apple and its App Store rules did not allow this type of game. For this reason, they once again had to find a way to bypass said restriction so that the millions of users who wanted to do so could. That option came through a website that you can access through Safari and play with a Virtually identical experience to the native client for PC and Mac (with their respective operating systems designed for the X86 and X64 architectures).
Now, with the intention of reaching even more users, Nvidia announces that GeForce Now supports Chrome and that there is already a native client for Macs with M1 chip. Both news are very interesting because of what each of them means separately and jointly for the service.
With the support of Chrome by GeForce Now, many users will be able to play the entire catalog that it offers through platforms such as Steam, Epic Games, etc., from any device where it can run. And all this with a performance to match, without those problems of delay in the response to the actions that until now was experienced when looking for tricks to be able to access as it is done with Safari.
On the other hand, users with a Mac with the new Apple Silico processorThey are also in luck. Because for these new teams there are already native client, which is always a much more satisfying experience in every way. And that Nvidia is putting the batteries and access via browser is getting better, with new options such as being able to create shortcuts to new favorite games.
How to access GeForce Now from the browser
Access GeForce Now from the browser, both Safari and Chrome is very simple. The first thing is to have their operating systems updated to versions 14.2 or higher in the case of iOS and iPadOS. With that and the latest updates of both browsers (Chrome and Safari), all you have to do is go to the following website and follow these steps:
- Access the website https://play.geforcenow.com/

- In the case of iOS and iPadOS devices you will have the option to create a shortcut on the home screen, in the rest you can start playing directly
Done, there is nothing else to do. It is important to remember that you have two options to access GeForce Now. There is the free one where you do not have priority access to the servers and the game time is limited. And then the payment option with the greatest advantages. Likewise, in both the titles will be those that you have in the different stores with which they are associated, such as Steam or Epic Games.
Due to this last detail, taking advantage of the gifts that Epic and the like frequently make of different PC games can be so interesting. Because you will always have them available to play from your device and through the browser wherever you go and have an internet connection.
