Counter Strike 2 and More Games Coming to GeForce NOW

[GFreeman]

Rush to the cloud - stream Counter Strike 2 on GeForce NOW for the highest frame rates. Members can play through the newest chapter of Valve's elite, competitive, first-person shooter from the cloud. It's all part of an action-packed GFN Thursday, with 22 more games joining the cloud gaming platform's library, including Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged.

Counter Strike 2 is the long-awaited upgrade to one of the most recognizable competitive first-person shooters in the world. Building on the legacy of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the latest iteration brings the action to Valve's long-anticipated Source 2 video game engine, promising enhanced graphical fidelity with a physically based rendering system for more realistic textures and materials, dynamic lighting, reflections and more. Smoke grenades are now dynamic volumetric objects that can interact with their surroundings by reacting to lighting and other environmental effects. And smoke particles work with the unified lighting system, allowing for more realistic light and color. Even better: GeForce NOW Ultimate members can take full advantage of NVIDIA Reflex for ultra-low-latency gameplay streaming from the cloud. Rush the objective with the squad on Counter Strike 2's remastered maps at up to 240 frames per second - a first for cloud gaming. Upgrade today for the Ultimate Counter-Strike experience.

So that's why they blocked AMD's anti-lag

I could never imagine playing CS2 through a stream.

I could never imagine playing CS2 through a stream.

It'd be absolute trash tier, especially when CS runs on potatoes.

Playing a competitive shooter from cloud... nah, I'd go for CS1.6 or Source if I'd need to play CS but don't have hardware to play CS2 smoothly.

I can't see any semi-serious CS player using this considering how concerned they are about even single ms increases in latencies.

 

[Deleted member 185088]

I think this is just to inflate the number of games available on the service.

Are they offering CS2 @ 240 FPS with some sort of frame generation? The game is clearly not resource intensive, but running a competitive game with "240 FPS" does not mean that the game is as responsive as running it locally in a PC. If the latency of the connection is bad, it is not going to be a good experience.
