GEForce NOW is expected to be launched in beta version  ‘mid year’.
@Jasventure have you had any word on this please?

... and a share of some background (from Pentanet) on why gamers are reaching for the cloud:
[Pentanet; What is Cloud Gaming] .... (and why it’s cool )

“With the global gaming industry currently worth around $135 billion USD with 2.6 billion users, gaming is now worth more than both the movie industry and music industry combined. ​

​

So who are the current players in the market?”..... etc​

​

Beyond the gaming community and the savvy early investors (or perhaps they are both?), James Dougherty from Lennox Capital Partners and Nick Guidera from Eley Griffiths Group think Pentanet is cool too ▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿
- for reasons of GEForce NOW and more.
Both were recently interviewed for Livewire as per @cautiouspunter punter  comment of 22/03/21.

Excerpt from Livewire ‘Buy, Hold, Sell 19/03/21
Pentanet (ASX:5GG)

Ally Selby: I’ll definitely be taking note of that. Next up, we have Pentanet, it listed earlier this year, is it a buy, hold or sell?

James Dougherty (BUY): It’s a buy as well. It’s a very similar business to Aussie Broadband, it’s an ISP.
There are only so many ways you can really differentiate yourself as an ISP.
It’s latency and customer service.
They’ve got a fixed wireless network, their own infrastructure, which means they get great speed, and they’ve got local call centres, which means you get great service and they continue to take share.
The management team, the Cornish brothers, actually sold their house to start this business and haven’t sold a share into IPO.


Ally Selby: How about for you, Nick? Is it a buy, hold or sell?

Nick Guidera (BUY): Yeah, it’s a buy for us. It reminds us a lot of iiNet in the early days, another Perth ISP. The former CEO is chairmen, they share similar colours and they’ve got a significant focus on customer service.
As James touched on, the fixed wireless model that they’re pioneering with technology out of Facebook, I think is a pretty interesting space and one the majors are probably watching pretty closely to see if they can improve the quality of NBN speeds through fixed wireless technology.

They’ve also got a decent opportunity in the gaming space through their partnership with Nvidia, which is pretty amazing given Nvidia’s a NASDAQ-listed company.
This is an emerging micro cap that ultimately has been able to negotiate a partnership for 12 months to see them utilise that gaming technology over time.
I think it’s a buy for us and one that we’re watching pretty closely, albeit in its early stages.

Ally Selby: Well, that’s all we have time for today. We hope you enjoyed this episode of Buy Hold Sell. If you did, why not give it a like? Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you never miss an update.

Lastly a chart;
This one is of Pentanet’s partner Nvidia - creator of the GEForce platform - over on the NASDAQ...



It looks like it has been ticking the right boxes ?  : )
Especially since launching GEForce Now in February 2020.

NB From that Pentanet link above;

.. “GeForce NOW is the cloud gaming platform from global technology behemoth NVIDIA. ​

Launched in beta in 2013 and in full in 2015 under the title NVIDIA Shield, the updated GeForce NOW was fully launched in February 2020 across Windows, macOS, Chromebook, Android and Shield TV devices.​
