What is now.gg?
now.gg is a cloud-gaming platform focused on mobile games. It allows you to play mobile games on any device using a simple browser. You can access it with a computer, smartphone, tablet, and even an Xbox console, as it also has a browser.
Because it operates on a browser, through the internet, it requires no downloads of apps and files. The only real limitation is that it requires a relatively stable internet connection. now.gg recommends a 5Mbps bandwidth and less than a 40ms ping.
The experience is pretty great, too. It ran pretty well during our tests. It runs pretty smoothly. The platform also supports keyboards, mice, gamepads, and touch controls. The best part is that it’s free. It is ad-supported, though. And its ads are pretty annoying.
Should I create a now.gg account?
We believe signing up for a now.gg account is crucial if you will be playing Roblox, or any other game, often. A now.gg account will allow you to save your progress. While some games, like Roblox, allow you to save your progress on their servers, having to sign into your account every time you play gets tiring very quickly. Especially if you get the security robot-checking puzzle, which I did. Roblox’s robot-checking puzzles take long!
