Genshin Comfortably Runs on a Low-Spec PC! Try GeForce NOW Cloud Game Service

Many people will mainly play the smartphone version of Genshin, but with the PC version, you can play while enjoying the beautiful graphics of Genshin on a wider screen of the smartphone. However, some would say, “In the first place, Genshin does not have a computer that works comfortably.” I think such a person could benefit greatly from using GeForce now.
So, this time around, I played Genshin to see if players could enjoy it comfortably.

You can play the game without worrying about computer specifications

GeForce NOW is a game streaming service for PC games. Roughly speaking, instead of installing and playing the game on your computer, you can view the screen of the game running on the server on your computer over the Internet. So, you don’t need the specs to run the game without consuming your computer’s storage. If you can secure a steady line speed, you can play.
The user launches the GeForce NOW client application, connects to the cloud server from there, and runs the game. Mouse and keyboard input while gaming is handled on the cloud server side, and the actual game runs there as well. The result is displayed on the user’s online screen.

This is the basis of GeForce NOW, but what has changed is that KDDI’s “” is in JapanGeForce is now powered by au“Softbank’s”GeForce NOW powered by SoftBankIt is being developed.
Since both Softbank and KDDI offer connectivity services for smartphones, you might be wondering, “If you don’t have a per-line contract, you can’t use GeForce now”, but it really has nothing to do with the line contract. ，GeForce service is now available. However, GeForce NOW Powered by au offers benefits such as discounts on monthly fees for users of its 5G, au and UQ rate plans.
In addition, GeForce NOW Powered by au is a monthly service, but can only be used for free for the first month, while GeForce NOW powered by SoftBank has a free plan that can be used for free with restrictions, etc. .

You can choose the one that suits your line of connection and usage, but this time I’m using GeForce NOW with SoftBank’s support because the free plan seems to work for Genshin who keeps playing for a little while every day.

Very easy to install and convenient to play

The installation method is very easy. First, register an account on the official website of GeForce NOW powered by SoftBank and sign up for the “Free Plan”. Next, download and install the GeForce NOW client and register Genshin in “My Library”. And if you run Genshin from GeForce NOW, all you have to do is log in and play with your Ho Yoverse account as usual.

When you sign up for the library, a Play button will appear, so just tap on it.

I just started Genshin.At this time, what is running on my computer is, of course, not the Genshin client, but the GeForce NOW client that displays the Genshin screen.

This time around, I tried playing on a work laptop (NEC’s “HZ550/DAB”) which wasn’t quite as expected for gaming, but to be honest,I can play so normal that I can’t commentSince Genshin itself isn’t a game that requires rigorous surgery on a frame by frame basis, you don’t have to worry about delays, and it’s very convenient.
Because it is used in the free plan

• There is a waiting time of about 5 minutes when Genshin is activated.
• Continuous play up to 1 hour. Forced to finish when time is up

There are limitations. However, if you turn it back on, you can play for another hour, and in the first place, it takes less than an hour to play a lap per day, so it’s enough if you can play that much. Even the free plan is arguably practical enough.
Primarily, if you think this is inconvenient, the premium plan (1980 yen inclusive of taxes) can be used. The premium plan allows priority entry at startup, and extends continuous playtime to 6 hours. It’s also an ant to use this when you want to play hard with updates and events.

Waiting for turn on startup. At the time of writing this article, my turn without waiting was 5 minutes, so I didn’t really care.

When the remaining running time is low, a notification will be displayed at the top of the screen. When that time is up, the game ends forcibly. However, the limit for the free plan is that the “continuous” playing time is 1 hour, so you can play without problems if you restart it.

It’s a little disappointing that GeForce NOW itself is compatible with tablets and smartphones as well as PCs, but Genshin’s GeForce NOW compatible environment is limited to PCs, Macs, and Chromebooks. If it is compatible with smartphones, then it seems that it can run even on terminals with lower specifications.

However, if you want to play Genshin on a PC but don’t have a PC that works comfortably, or if you already play on a PC but aren’t comfortable with the lack of specs, GeForce NOW is worth a try. There will be. Since a stable network environment is required, it can be difficult to play from a laptop to work in a hotel on a business trip. However, if you have a problem with your usual gameplay, such as “The road is always long every time you go to an unexplored area…”, it looks like it will be easily resolved.

People who are not good at arc shooting on smartphones may find it easier to do it on computers.

Favorite. Even people who usually ignore graphics settings due to specs can enjoy it with high image quality.
