Why buy an expensive console when you already own the best hardware? Experience seamless, hybrid gaming across your Apple devices with hyper-fast cloud performance. Nvidia's GeForce Now backend is so optimized that you’d need a local PC pushing 200 FPS just to beat its input latency. Mobile Mode: Full-throttle gaming in your pocket. Use Hybrid Mouse controls for a premium handheld experience on the go. Apple TV Mode: Not just AirPlay - a total takeover. Pick a game on your iPhone and it hands off directly to the big screen. This is not screen mirroring. Connect your controller directly to the Apple TV for a native, lag-free experience. Mouse and keyboard support is also included. Stop buying extra boxes. Unlock the power of Apple Silicon.
