Yup. You log in to something like Steam or UPlay, and it lets you play games you have on your account. It’s only their supported list sadly.
The service is fast enough I’ve been able to play mouse-based shooters. Latency is not perfect, but home monitors and input devices sometimes have comparable imperfectness.

Latency would depend on where you are in the world

Wow, I had no idea this was a thing. I thought the app was mainly for driver updates. Thanks!

The Geforce app used for drivers, and the app to connect to Geforce Now, are installed separately. In fact, you’d likely install the latter on weak devices that don’t even have an NVidia GPU.
