Components the vendor reports as affected: NP-MIA-03 Under Maintenance

A component listed here does not necessarily mean a full outage — large providers routinely report maintenance on individual locations. It only affects the verdict above when the vendor marks it major or critical and our own checks also saw NVIDIA GeForce NOW fail from enough regions to rule out probe noise.

Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What NVIDIA GeForce NOW does

GeForce NOW streams PC games from NVIDIA data centres to a browser, phone, TV or low-powered laptop, running the game remotely rather than on the device in front of you. Players connect through a specific regional data centre and launch titles they already own on stores such as Steam and Epic, so both NVIDIA and the store have to be reachable.

What an outage looks like

Sessions fail to start and the queue position never advances, or a session drops back to the launcher part way through a game. Streams connect but stall, pixelate heavily or lose audio while the local network reports no fault. The library fails to sync with a linked store account, so owned games do not appear. One region can fail while others are fine.

What to do about it

Check status.geforcenow.com, which reports per region and names the individual data centre you connect through, so confirm the one your account uses rather than the global heading. NVIDIA also posts per-game incidents there, so a title that crashes while everything else streams may be a known game-specific fault. Switching to another region is often faster than waiting.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says NVIDIA GeForce NOW is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW outage FAQ

Is GeForce NOW down or is it my connection?
A local network problem usually degrades the stream, showing stutter, heavy compression or lost audio, while a service outage stops sessions from starting at all. Check status.geforcenow.com for the data centre you connect through, since NVIDIA reports each region separately. If one region cannot start sessions and another can, the fault is NVIDIA's rather than yours.
Why does one game fail when the rest work?
NVIDIA posts incidents for individual titles on its status page, separately from data centre health. A game can break after a patch that has not yet reached the cloud image, or because the store behind it is unreachable. If a single title fails to launch while others stream normally, look for a game-specific incident before assuming a wider outage.
Does a Steam or Epic outage stop GeForce NOW?
It can. GeForce NOW launches games you own on other stores, so it signs into that store on your behalf. If the store is down, the library may not sync and titles can fail to launch even though NVIDIA's streaming is healthy. This is the most common reason the service looks broken while its own status page stays green.
Do I lose game progress if a session drops?
Progress is saved by the game and its store rather than by the streaming layer, so anything already written is kept. Work since the last save point can be lost, which matters most in titles that checkpoint rarely. Cloud saves sync when a session ends cleanly, so a hard drop can leave the most recent minutes unsynced.

How we measure this

  • We request NVIDIA GeForce NOW's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where NVIDIA GeForce NOW publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
