Benefits of the GeForce NOW Developer Platform

Make Your Title GFN-ready

Maximize the performance of your title on GFN by integrating the GeForce NOW software development kit and making your content cloud-aware. Simple API calls allow you to determine whether your title is running within GFN’s infrastructure and provide finer control over a cloud session’s execution.

Debug and Test Your Title

Access your title in different ways using GFN Developer Portal’s (GDP) debug and test workflows. Rapidly test new content, perform collaborative quality assurance, and host playtests. Access specifically configured seats in the cloud to investigate functionality, performance, or compatibility issues with your title.

Deploy Your Game to GFN

GFN automatically pulls your content directly from your store branches: making pre-release content available for secure testing and production content available to end users with minimal delay. Harness GFN’s gameplay dashboard to monitor end-user gameplay usage data for your content.

Deploy Your Streaming Web Experience

Integrate your graphics and compute-intensive applications into web-based experiences using the GFN SDK to integrate streaming and GDP to configure and deploy your interactive content for frictionless access by the public or a defined audience.

GeForce NOW SDK

The GeForce NOW SDK (GFN SDK) allows developers to enhance their games and applications to run seamlessly on GFN, or to add cloud gaming into their web stores and launchers while allowing users to connect their accounts and libraries to GFN for low-friction single-sign-on. The SDK is a set of APIs, runtimes, samples, and documentation which enables games and applications to perform many cloud gaming related actions: from enabling seamless integration with client mobile devices, to game launcher applications triggering cloud streaming of a specified game, and GFN and publisher backend for facilitating account linking and game library ownership synchronization.
