The GeForce NOW Developer Portal is streamlining playtesting by providing global, secure access to pre-release builds without the need for downloads or high-end local hardware. In this session, we will dive into the new 'Install-to-Play' (I2P) mode, where developers can now stream their games on day one without any content adaptation. This streamlined workflow allows teams to quickly configure custom tests or utilize the I2P Test App to install and play any Steam title—including beta branches—while observing live sessions remotely. These tools eliminate legacy barriers, allowing developers to move from installation to live cloud-based testing and observation in record time.

Takeaway

Attendees will be introduced to the powerful and easy-to-use Playtest feature via NVIDIA's GeForce NOW developer portal (GDP). They will learn how to leverage the new GeForce NOW (GFN) Install-to-Play mode and Playtest flows to quickly set up tests, invite testers and observe test sessions from the GDP.
