Right now Geforce Now has better offering. Connect it to your Steam account and you can play some of the titles.

Maybe streaming video games (Stadia)?

That's cloud gaming, not games run locally

It allows you to stream your games from Nvidia's servers instead of installing it locally. Mostly to play on underpowered devices such as a tablet, laptop, or streaming stick connected to your TV etc...

As someone else pointed out, check out GeForce Now. It's cloud gaming, and works crazy good. Been using it for a bit now.

Ah I see. Have you used 'GeForce Now'? It's actual PC games like Witcher III from beefy GPUs in the cloud: https://shield.nvidia.co.uk/games/geforce-now
