- The new GeForce NOW app has arrived on the Play Store, but only for Korean users
I suppose with Google's Stadia on the horizon, it makes sense that Nvidia would be looking to expand its own game streaming service, and since this service has been in beta for some time now as the company retooled the platform, it's nice to know that we are finally nearing the official release. I'm also excited to see what Nvidia's new mobile-focused app brings, as I would love to finally be able to stream my GeForce games on my phones, non-Shield tablets, and Chromebooks. Nvidia has mentioned that physical controllers will be necessary for many of the compatible titles, much like the Shield TV offering, so nothing much has changed on this front. For all intents and purposes, it looks like Nvidia is going to take its game streaming service seriously by offering a quality competitor to Stadia. While it's still early days, I have to say I'm excited to see what the future holds.

The new GeForce NOW app has arrived on the Play Store, but only for Korean users
It would appear that things are still moving along with the beta for GeForce Now. The new Nvidia GeForce NOW app has arrived on the Play Store, though it looks like it's only available in Korea at the moment. In August, we learned that Nvidia would expand the scope of the GeForce Now game streaming service by providing a new app that supports Android devices outside of the Shield line, but since the service is still in beta, it looks like more testing needs to be done. I would imagine this is why Nvidia has only released the new GeForce Now app in Korea for the time being. It's still clear that Western Android users should expect the official release of this new app sometime soon, but until then, only Korean users can take the service for a spin on their phones.
