Chromebooks are bad for gaming: no, that’s over thanks to Nvidia

The notion that Chromebooks are just for typing and browsing the web is outdated. Google and Nvidia have inked a groundbreaking deal to change that. Get ready to transform your little ChromeOS laptop into a true cloud gaming powerhouse.

Google aims to make the Chromebook the star of Christmas 2025. To convince us, the company has teamed up with Nvidia, the king of graphics cards. For those who buy a new Chromebook after November 20, 2025, you will receive a complimentary one-year subscription to GeForce Now, their cloud gaming service. This is the perfect solution to address the Chromebooks’ typical power limitations for demanding games.

The VIP ticket for gaming on Chromebook

This Fast Pass is an exclusive offer just for Chromebooks, and honestly, it far surpasses the usual free GeForce Now offer. The major advantage is that you will have priority access to Nvidia’s servers. No more waiting five to ten minutes in the queue; you can launch your game immediately. It’s perfect for quick gaming sessions, and there will be no ads—luxury at its finest.

You get 10 hours of gaming each month. If you don’t use all your hours, you can even accumulate up to 15 hours the following month. On the technical side, expect 1080p at 60 FPS, delivering top-notch quality. However, it’s unclear if this gives access to the high-end 4080 or 5080 super-servers, but this Fast Pass opens the door to over 2000 games (Steam, Epic, Xbox…).

This partnership is strategically important for Google. It’s hard not to think about what Stadia should have been. A well-crafted offer that is deeply integrated into the Google ecosystem. With Nvidia on board, it’s clear that cloud gaming is the key to making the Chromebook genuinely versatile.

However, I can’t help but wonder what happens after the free 12 months? I bet Nvidia will launch an official Fast Pass offer for ongoing access. But for now, the pricing details remain a mystery.
