Google today launched three Chromebook models that are built for cloud gaming. The company has partnered with Acer, Asus and Lenovo to bring these Chromebook models. The company says that these new Chromebooks “bring together gaming hardware features, access to the latest games with cutting edge graphics through the cloud, and software designed to make gaming fast and easy.”
The company also said that it has partnered with Nvidia to bring support for GeForce Now’s highest performance RTX 3080 tier to the cloud gaming Chromebooks, which the company believes will enable users to stream titles such as Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, and Crysis 3 Remastered at a resolution of up to 1600 pixels and a screen refresh rate of 120Hz.
Additionally, Google has also partnered with Microsoft to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming in Beta mode to Chromebook through an installable web app. “You can access and install this app by visiting xbox.com/play. Xbox brings a library of hundreds of games including Forza Horizon 5, Grounded and Microsoft Flight Simulator, accessible through an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription,” Google wrote in a blog post.
These partnerships and more will enable Chromebooks users to support three cloud gaming platforms, which includes Xbox Cloud Gaming in beta, Nvidia GeForce Now and Amazon Luna. Buyers will get a three-month trial to Amazon Luna+ and Nvidia’s GeForce NOW’s RTX3080 tier free on purchasing these Chromebooks. “With these offers, you can play nearly 200 of the 1500+ titles available on Chromebook at no cost, including games like Control Ultimate Edition, Overcooked 2, Fortnite and League of Legends,” the company added.
