Yes 5G initially announced that their access to the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming service was on exclusive BETA for Yes customers. We already checked it out with our first impressions article and video but that BETA period is coming to a close this 13 April 2023. However, they’ve also announced that it will now be priced at RM40 per month after the BETA.

What can we do NOW with 5G? This is a question that many have been asking, especially when deciding to make the move to 5G or to stay with 4G. Well, the biggest advantage of mobile 5G networks is the incredibly fast Internet speed. Unfortunately, most people believe that there isn't enough content or services that actually need those 5G speeds.

But is that really true? A quick search online indicates the opposite as there are actually quite a few things that take advantage of those 5G speeds. In addition, it is also making it possible for us to do things that used to require powerful mobile devices or computers. Today, let's take a look at 3 things that we can do NOW with 5G.

As per the recent announcement, Yes 5G is offering cloud gaming via NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW platform. Available exclusively to Yes 5G customers on Beta, we managed to try it out and while it certainly sounds promising, considering the state of our 5G networks we have to admit that we were somewhat hesitant. Read on to find out our first impressions of the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform powered by Yes 5G and see if it’s the cloud gaming streaming platform for you.

At CES 2022, companies don't just unveil upcoming products. It's also common to see some prototypes or concept technologies at the event. For this year, Alienware has something that's targeted at games streaming. The company calls it Concept Nyx.

We talked about Microsoft's xCloud before and in case you don't remember what is it - it's a gaming streaming platform that allows gamers to access online on a website. The company has been working on it for several months now and they are now having a test before sending out to the public.

A few weeks ago, it revealed that Microsoft was beta testing a new update to the Xbox app for iOS. If all went well, Xbox One owners will be able to access new features on their mobile devices. Now, the app is publically available on the Apple App Store for iPads or iPhones.

As far as Microsoft is concerned, the launch of its Xbox Series X next-gen console in November 2020 isn't the only part of its gaming business strategy. The company is banking a lot on its Xbox Game Pass and the xCloud games streaming platform to bring players in. But while xCloud isn't available on iOS, Apple may approve the new Xbox app for iOS.

When you hear Twitch, you probably recognize it as a streaming platform for gamers. But when it comes to Facebook, it's not really as popular as the former and this might be the reason why they are planning to launch a new gaming app on your smartphone. It doesn't have a name yet, officially. Here's what we know. 

Although streaming games still hasn't really taken off due to the potential lag and such, it hasn't stopped people from trying it out. In fact, for something as new and unreliable as games streaming, it's impressive to see Nvidia GeForce NOW getting more than 1 million gamers signing up to the platform.

Clearly cloud based gaming is the future. Earlier today, Nvidia announced that their streaming service, the Nvidia GeForce NOW will be making its way to Android powered mobile devices. For those not in the know, the Nvidia GeForce NOW streaming service is a way for gamers to stream games from their game libraries on their mobile devices.
