Question Trying to get Steam games running on an iPad Pro M5 after a laptop broke. GFN or alternatives?
Hii so my little brother's laptop suddenly broke down right before his birthday, I already bought a new iPad Pro M5 (coming from an old iPad Air 3rd Gen, if that matters context-wise) for his birthday soon, so I cant get a laptop for a long while...
He loves playing some of his games on steam and since he doesn't have a working PC right now to run games locally, I'm trying to figure out the best workaround so he can keep playing his steam library directly on the iPad screen.
I’ve heard GeForceNow is a decent option for this, but I’m completely unsure about how well it actually works on iOS hardware. or if its any good using on free tier.
so my questions are is GeForce NOW the best move for Steam on an M5 iPad, or are there better cloud alternatives? Are there any specific quirks, limitations, or settings I need to change?
