Geforce Now is great. It’s a game streaming service that actually works. Amazing. Game Pass is great. It’s a game subscription service that offers an awful lot of choice, including many day one-release games, and a lot of those games are playable on Nvidia’s streaming platform. What could make this union better, you ask? It’s all about how you log in.

Ask anyone who tries to enter an email address and password using their TV’s remote control.

Geforce Now users who mainly used the games in their Steam libraries didn’t have this issue as the service lets you automatically sign in. Set it up once in the Geforce Now settings and you have a pretty seamless experience, even on a TV. Now this functionality is coming to Xbox accounts.
