GeForce Now Will Support Cyberpunk 2077 On Launch Day

If your PC can't handle Cyberpunk 2077's intense system requirements or you can't find a graphics card or CPU to upgrade your PC in time for the December 10th launch, you now have an alternative platform to play on. Nvidia says that its GeForce Now cloud gaming service will support Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10th and it will work whether you buy the game through GoG, Steam or the Epic Games store.

Editor's Note (12/9): A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only the GoG version of the game would work with GeForce Now.

The only unfortunate thing you'll find with GeForce Now is that it is limited to a 1920x1200 resolution and 60hz. Technically, you can get 120Hz support but for that you'll have to drop down to 1280x720.

There are three categories you can sign up for. The first is the free version, which will limit you to one hour of game time per session. Also, you will be on low priority, meaning people who pay for the service will get access faster if there's heavy traffic on the platform. 

If you pay for the "Founders" membership, that gives you priority access to GeForce Now servers, six hours of session time, and unlocked ray tracing support. For only $5.99 a month, I would highly recommend this option if you want a good Cyberpunk 2077 experience. Finally, there's the six-month Founders membership at just $24.95.

If you can't afford the $25 outlay, $6 a month is still a really good deal to play Cyberpunk 2077 in all its glory at full HD resolution. But if you can splurge on the six-month Founders membership, that will give you quite a while to save up for your prized new component. And by that time, hopefully the stock issues with recent AMD and Nvidia GPUs and AMD CPUs will be a think of the past.
