Episode notes

This episode of The Lab reviews the main cloud gaming services available in Spain and explains what each one offers. It opens with an overview emphasizing that no single option has everything, so the choice depends on the games and features each user wants. The program examines Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium—the evolution of PS Now—and Nintendo Switch Cloud. Amazon Luna is also presented, although it was not yet available in Spain when the episode was recorded. The discussion covers subscription models, game purchases, catalogs, compatible devices, resolution, frame rate, latency, and prices mentioned in the program. GeForce Now stands out for offering virtual computers and an RTX 3080 tier, which is especially appealing to people without a powerful PC. PlayStation Plus is valued for its library spanning several generations, although its latency and the general absence of day-one releases are criticized. Nintendo Switch Cloud is considered limited by its catalog and fluidity. In conclusion, listeners are advised to first check which games interest them, while GeForce Now is again highlighted as a strong option for high performance without owning a powerful computer.
