NVIDIA announces details on how an update coming next month to their
GeForce Experience
software adding new sharing features as well as the ability to play co-op games
over the internet with only a local copy on one machine. Here's word on how this
works:
Last but not least is GameStream Co-op. As a kid you’d invite your
friends around to see a new game, to help you beat a particularly tricky level,
to play Chaos Engine co-op, or to challenge you in Doom II. As an adult, your
childhood friends and new Internet friends are spread far and wide. GameStream
Co-Op uses the Internet, the performance of GeForce GTX PCs, and the
low-latency, low-overhead streaming components of GeForce GTX Kepler and Maxwell
GPUs to solve the problem, enabling you to invite friends into your game over
the Internet.
GameStream Co-op supports DirectX 9 games and up than run in fullscreen
exclusive mode.
With GameStream Co-Op, your friends can simply watch you play in a low latency
1:1 stream, take control of your game with mirrored controls and help you with a
tough boss fight in The Witcher 3, or play along-side you in supported
multi-controller games like Trine 3, Gauntlet, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15, Mortal Kombat
Komplete, and more.
However you use GameStream Co-Op, you’ll be able to hear your friend with
built-in voice chat support, which can be activated and toggled in real-time
using the new Share overlay.
To get your hands on all this goodness
stay tuned to the
GeForce Experience early access beta page, which will be updated with the
download link in September. Further information regarding system requirements is
already available, so you can see whether your system is ready for Share.
