Netris is an open-source and self-hosted alternative to GeForce NOW, inspired by Stadia

Background title Netris open-source alternative to GeForce NOW made just for you and your friends. Below it appears part of a browser window with the window controls on the top left like macOS Safari browser has. The URL can't be seen but various game avatars appear, one which looks like a soccer player kicking the ball in the air, and another a woman holding a large automatic rifle.

It’s a cloud gaming platform where the latest titles and your beloved classics are always just a click away, ready to be played on any device you own.

Imagine the freedom to dive into your favourite gaming worlds on a lazy sofa Sunday with just your tablet, or firing up a quick session on your phone during your commute. That’s the kind of seamless, barrier-free gaming experience Netris offers.

They’re about bringing gamers together. Netris is a community, a place where you can share epic gaming moments with friends and family, thanks to our social-first features.

Netris is pioneering the use of QUIC technology for content delivery, which means Netris games appear better and run more smoothly, even if your internet connection isn’t top-notch. Think of it as streaming your favourite HD movie effortlessly on a modest Wi-Fi connection – that’s the power of QUIC making every pixel count without gobbling up your data.

Their platform is designed from the ground up to be socially orientated, allowing users to easily share their gaming experiences, victories, and memorable moments. It’s like having a virtual game night, every night, where the distance doesn’t dampen the fun and camaraderie. They have Reddit as well as Discord communities online.

There’s no need to buy your favourite games all over again. Simply connect your Steam account to their service, and voilà – your personal gaming library is ready to stream. Using their platform means you don’t need your own Nvidia GPU. You’re free to switch between self-hosting and using their cloud service whenever you like, without losing your game progress.

To use their cloud hosting there is a free tier which is limited to 720p 30fps with stereo sound, and public only parties. The paid tiers get you a lot more. It is accessible from any Chrome-based browser, including Edge, Chrome, Brave, and Arc.
