Nvidia releases GeForce NOW 120fps option for all 120Hz Android smartphones

Nvidia is making the 120fps option of its GeForce NOW RTX 3080 plan available to all Android phones with support for 120Hz. The company will announce this on Thursday. The free game Genshin Impact will also be available to everyone on the service.

According to Nvidia the 120fps option available “in the coming weeks” for all Android smartphones with a 120Hz screen. Previously, that mode was only available for a limited number of Android devices from ASUS, Google, OnePlus, Samsung and Xiaomi.

Nvidia says to 9to5Google that the 120fps mode is not yet available for iOS and iPadOS devices with a 120Hz screen, because that feature is only available for the native Android app. Apple users must use GeForce NOW as a Safari web app due to restrictions Apple imposes on cloud gaming services. It’s not known if that’s why 120fps streaming isn’t yet available on iOS and iPadOS.

The 120fps option is part of the most expensive GeForce NOW subscription, which has an RTX 3080. The same subscription makes it possible to play games at 4k; that feature was recently extended to Windows and macOS.

Nvidia also announced that Genshin Impact will soon be available to all GeForce NOW users. That free game was previously available as a beta for a limited number of users, but can be played by everyone from next week.
